Hey Goth, is NHL injured reserve like the NFL? Is Nash done for the year?

He's not out for the year, is he?

No no...the IR in NHL is not like other sports... this usually means the player will be out like 7-10 or more days....teams do this to free up roster space to call players up from their minor league teams....cause if you just keep "scratching" them each night, each night you play with one less player than you are able to.
