Injury Report: Updates In 1st Post | Clean Out Day

[Sidney the Kidney]

Pens have been the walking wounded the past two years, but went on to win the Cup both times. They've been healthy most of this season, but have sucked.

Maybe with all the injuries starting to mount, they'll go back to familiar territory and starting being a dominant team again?

Apparently the Pens are the Incredible Hulk -- they're only strong when they're being hurt/angry, but if they're healthy they're a scrawny nerd who doesn't dominate anyone.

I guess DeSmith should be up soon? Corrado up for Ruhwedel is fine, I like Corrado and I like that he brings a more physical brand to help out Cole in the back end and also Oleksiak.

But Rust? They better call up one of - ZAR, DiPauli, or Simon.

Simon’s up but got hurt although I think he’s been at practice

Murray again? Geez, this is getting ridiculous.

Murray again? Geez, this is getting ridiculous.

A good reason not to trade Jarry

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Murray again? Geez, this is getting ridiculous.

Yeah as T.Hanks said, the reason why we can't lose Jarry. Murray is about as injury prone as Letang. It irks me how they didn't even play Jarry after he took over for Murray during a bad game. Give the kid a chance too.

 

[TNT87]

More injuries. How lovely.

 

[ncm7772]

I'm so sick of Letang being hurt every year. And getting paid $7.25M. No one is gonna trade for this guy, so our boys are stuck with him.

Just put on IR in case anyone doesn't know.

 

[Doogle]

Murray......hurt? NO WAY

 

[EvGeno]

One of the ushers at the game yesterday told me Letang could barely walk, for whatever that’s worth (not sure when he was seen).

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

So Letang goes from missing tomorrow's game to going on the IR within the span of 24 hours.

Maybe we *should* trade him just so him and his brutalized carcass can be someone else's problem.

 

[KIRK]

Letang on IR is retroactive to the 24th, meaning he's eligible to play after the 1st.

Convenient.

Eligible to play for who though?

 

[Zirakzigil]

I thought I saw somewhere that Murray is sick and not hurt, they are just making moves now to cover for that tomorrow.

Technically I think he could play in the Detroit game on the 31st.

Are we taking bets on if he’ll be playing as soon as he technically can? I’m saying no. Trade speculation or whatever I think day to day was highly generous.

It's been mentioned elsewhere that Murray is sick not injured.

Was it Simon that also got sick? I think I remember that from a few days ago

That was the official reason.

 

[wheelz87]

Sick of watching Kuhnhackl get play time over him?

 

[Vujtek]

It's been mentioned elsewhere that Murray is sick not injured.

Sullivan told yesterday that Murray is out with an upper body injury.

I have a sinking feeling Murray's going to turn into one of those "what could have been" players. Elite when he's healthy, but never capable of playing a full season.

Dude.. he won 2 cups in his first 2 seasons. He is immortal.. basically the complete opposite of "what could have been".

If he keeled over today, he still accomplished more in the NHL than 99.9% of goaltenders.

No, just the play in front of him was making him sick.

Geno injured? He missed practice today.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Geno injured? He missed practice today.

Don’t think so. They wouldn’t have had Wilson in his practice spot if he was hurt.
