Finnish blueliner Sami Salo made himself available to the media and he may have delivered the line of the playoffs.

When pressed by a Chicago reporter to reveal the nature of his injury, whether it was a groin or an ankle or a knee, Salo didn’t miss a beat.

“Maybe it’s just a burning sensation when you pee. You never know,” Salo said as the scrum exploded into laughter.

OK, so he remains day to day with the undisclosed injury. Is there a chance he’ll play Thursday in Game 4?

“There’s always a chance for anything,” said Salo. “We’ll see how it is tomorrow and go from there. The good thing is that it’s been getting better every day and that’s a positive thing.”

from the Vancouver Sun,

He has a metal plate in his nose and another helping to hold together his cheekbone.

Soon, Sami Salo will be sporting a new facial feature—a visor....

“I want to protect my eyes,” Salo said before the Canucks met the Oilers at General Motors Place. “You can always fix noses and cheekbones, but you can’t fix your eyes. I don’t want to be in a vulnerable position if I don’t wear a visor and the puck hits my eye. I’m not worried about my face and nose.”
