did you go to the link i posted that is on nhl.com.....

scroll down to recent injuries & it clearly states that he's been placed on the IR. if he hasnt then NHL.com needs to get better news reporters.

He's not going on the IR at this point. I get that much. It's very disappointing though. But ya, it is Pittsburgh's doing and not Yahoo's, and that link that someone posted from NHL.com saying Gonchar placed on the Injured Reserve is basically what's kept this going in my opinion.

I have him in 3/4 pools and I know he's not going on the IR now. It sucks, but that's just the way it is.

In honor of this continued nonsense, my next team shall be named Goncharea.

How would you have any idea who is in my free agent pool? And last week??? Why do more people enjoy head to head pools??? They are horrible. Make no sense whatsoever. It's all about Roto people. Try to get that through your heads.

it is annoying to have a player that should be on IR but isnt.

I missed out on picking up 2 Dmen that I wanted to replace him with. Other people in my league grabbed them.

I play in a points league & if i have a guy that I cant use then I am missing out on points. Every man counts.

what if the Pens vs ? is the only game going on that day..... I basically get no points b/c he's a waste of space for the time being. But if he were on IR I could have a guy out there earning me some points.

every GUY is important. ever POINT is important.

One player is enough. Because it takes up a spot on the roster and in 4 weeks thats like 16 points for him.

Ya, I got him in about all my pools too and am just as frustrated as the rest of you. Like someone wrote, every point counts, every game counts. I do private pools with no max games and I'm losing lots of opportunity to start other another D-man I could have picked up now. I've been emailing them back and forth for about 3 days now and I keep getting the same generic emails back, it's really annoying. Every odd email though will include one sentence or paragraph relevant to my question or concern though, but still no IR for Gonchar. That link to NHL.com looks good where it says he was placed on the IR...but every other site doesn't say IR specifically whereas they do for other players on those sites, and since he's back practicing already, I'm assuming he's not going to be going on the IR at all!

Lame!

Wow! You really know absolutely zero about hockey, don't you?

The guy is one of the best d-men in the NHL, and had 8 pts in 9 games with 5 of those coming on the PP before he was injured, and until last season had missed very few games in his entire 15 year career. Consistent 60 point per season defensemen don't just grow on trees, or anything, ya' know.

Maybe you should learn something about hockey, or at least do some research, before you comment.
