Doug Weight won't be playing tonight, as he has a suspected seperated shoulder. Aaron Ward will play, although it's believed he's nursing an "upper body injury" which might also be a shoulder injury. It'll be interesting to see how well Ward plays. On the one hand, he may not be as badly hurt as believed, which would be good news for the Hurricanes blueline. On the other hand, he could be seriously hurt and trying to "suck it up" and play through the pain, which could adversely hamper his performance. The 'Canes can adjust to Weight's absence, as he was only averaging roughly 12 minutes of ice time per game. Losing Rod Brind'amour, Eric Staal or Cory Stillman would've been a more serious blow. Losing Ward or having him hampered by an injury is a more serious blow, and you can bet the Oilers will be keying on him every chance they get tonight. Just something to add even more drama to what's been an interesting and exciting Stanley Cup Final.
