Ryan Whitney?s Return Date Looking Farther Away

In a pre-season that has been filled with far more injuries than any Oilers fan would like to see thanks to concussions to both Colten Teubert and Ben Eager Oilers fans need to acknowledge another injury that has been far too long healing. It is not only Oilers? fans and likely coaching staff that would have liked to have seen Ryan Whitney back to 100% following the defenceman?s December 28, 2010 injury and subsequent surgery, but also Ryan Whitney himself.

Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal has written another piece on the slow recovery time Whitney is seeing, and the unhappiness that Whitney is now feeling ?I was planning all summer to be ready for camp. The foot is improving but it is taking longer than I thought it would. It is frustrating. I know it?ll get there (ability to play without discomfort), but when? Nobody can give me an answer, and it?s not the trainers (responsibility). Nobody can do that,? he said.
