badams Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) St. Louis Blues forward Keith Tkachuk failed a physical and was suspended Friday by the team.General manager Larry Pleau did not elaborate on the status of Tkachuk, but said he was expected to return to the team.TSN has learned that Tkachuk showed up overweight and the team felt it had no choice but to suspend him."Players have to come to camp in shape," Blue coach Mike Kitchen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Friday. "He's been terrific following the program previously. The work stoppage has been hard on a lot of people. We had a lot of frustrated players. ... They had so many dates they had to peak, and they weren't able to hold their level of fitness."The 33-year-old left wing had 33 goals and 38 assists in 2003-04, the last season before the lockout. He has scored 431 goals and added 401 assists in his career.The Blues' first full-squad workout is Saturday, and the team opens the pre-season Wednesday at home against the Predators.
