UPDATE!!!
There are no reports that defenseman Jay McKee, who is sick with the flu, has arrived in Raleigh yet. McKee’s agent, Pat Morris, told the Howard Simon Show he expects No. 74 to travel to the game, and make every effort to play.
…so far so good…
now we just need to confirm when he shows up in NC
the plane flying to raleigh…i know the pilot, he said mckee was in the cockpit sayin ‘hurry up bro’
He’s going to play. McKee is a real warrior, no way he lets the flu keep him out of a game 7. You can’t survive a season being the NHL’s top shot blocker only to be taken out by the damn flu.
Eh, regarding Teppo… At this point, I’d be happier to see him behind the bench in a suit to be there for the team than playing.
His abilities are severely limited at this point due to his injury, and with this being the 7th HIGH intensity hockey game in 14 days, they need all the fully able bodies back on that d-line. Carolina’s hard 3rd period push on Tuesday was due to pure exhaustion by the Sabres and he basically 4 man defensive core that was playing that game.
I don’t think Teppo can be a difference maker player at this point in his injury, but behind the bench, his presence would be important.
^^UGH…i do…i want to leave work sooooooooooo bad!!!
i just wish it was 530 then i wouldnt be WORKING… but tonites game i wilbe so nervous, ill hear my heartbeat the whole time… goosey heartbeats
I hear ya, my stomach has been in knots all morning. I cant imagine how they feel!
HAHAHA goosey hearbeats. Those are the worst… even yllis esoog heart beats are bad!
time needs to go slower to give mckee more time to get to carolina
thats seriously the scariest thing ive heard in the playoffs so far…
indeed it is…
but his agent says he is going down there…but still don’t know if he will play 
i can completely see it being a leg infection after all these blocked shots…that would be HORRIBLE for this team…fuck team teppo, we lose mckee and we are up shits creek in a BIG way…
AHHHHHHHHH I AM SOOOOOOO NERVOUS NOW!!! $%@#$^@$%^$%&@%^#&#^%&#%^
MCKEE…YOU BETTER PLAYYYYYYYY…
even if he does play… i doubt he will be 100%
6-5 Buffalo in over time.
:word: thats what i heard and i also heard he’s on meds and will be playing tonight :tup:
give 'em the shot
people hear a lot…it’s his leg…it’s the flu…RUMORSSSS
i’m sticking with anything WGR says cause that’s always up to date. They say he has the flu and will be flying down…i’m sticking to that.
if Mckee doesnt play casue of the “flu” he’s straight up bitchmade. gotta be WAY worse than that. the guy blocks a gazillion shots but yet the flu is gonan keep him out of the most importat game of his life? i dont think so.
ok…what it is i guess is an infection in his leg which has caused flu symptoms.
