Update on Pirri's gruesome looking injury from last night.

It looked absolutely horrific when it happened, and Florida Panthers forward Brandon Pirri looked like he was in a lot of pain.

However despite the gruesome looking injury, one that honestly looked like it should have torn Pirri's ankle to shreds, it sounds today like he may have avoided the worst case scenario. According to a report from George Richards Pirri will still miss several weeks as a result of the injury, but it's far from the season ending nightmare it was expected to me.

It was just last night that Harvey Fialkov wasreporting Pirri left the arena on crutches, and the expectation was he would be in a cast by Monday. So although the news is still bad, and losing a player for weeks is devastating, it's certainly better than it could have been.
