Might've been different if there was some hope of him coming back this year. Not that it wasn't pretty obvious what the injury was, regardless.Can’t believe we got more than “lower body injury”
No point keeping it under wraps. He's having surgery, anyone watching the play could figure out it was a knee issue. Narrows it down to just a question of which tendon tore.Can’t believe we got more than “lower body injury”
#StriptheC please don't take me seriously
We'd probably be better to have Spurgeon play C. He can probably be our shut down C.... good thing we have Rask now?
It sounds like Coyle will be taking Koivu's spot, which I assume means Eriksson-Ek will be on the wing. So...... good thing we have Rask now?
This makes me sadder than potentially losing the season does.Wonder if this will be career ending. At 37, I doubt he’s able to skate at the same level after this, and he wasn’t the fleetest of foot to begin with.
I feel bad for Koivu...just do.
Looks like it was the other knee, actually. Giordano got the left MCL, Thompson got the right ACL.Same knee as Giordano got? Anyhow, it's a terrible turn of events for him.
The guy gets so much grief, but he's an honest player. Hope for the best.
