Ohlund Gone For Season?

From TSN, dire news with a wee bit of hope:
The Vancouver Canucks received some bad news Thursday as they learned defenceman Mattias Ohlund has bone chips in his left knee.
In an attempt to reduce the swelling in the joint, Ohlund has been administered anti-inflammatory drugs. He will then be given four to six days to see if the swelling has gone down enough to return to play.
If Ohlund has not recovered enough to play at that time he will undergo arthroscopic surgery, ending his season.
There’s no way to put a positive spin on this. And note that the injury happened in that losing game against Colorado.
How everyone doesn’t buy my theory that the Avs are the Evil Empire, I’ll just never understand…
