Everyone's talking like his back is toast... this is a foot injury guys... from blocking a shot. Nothing to do with his back.

Watch it turn into a back injury because he's walking differently with a cast/boot and it tweaks his back.
He's only had 2 full seasons of health in the last 7, and one of them was a strike year. If he can't be LTIR he's going to have the worst contract in the league at some point. ~10% of the cap isn't a boat anchor, it's a ship anchor of a contract.
I understand that, and that's why I was ripping him in the last page for not wearing shot blockers. Two years ago his big chunk of time missed was for the same reason we see now... a shot block off the foot.
Fletcher said Zach Parise, who has missed five games because of a foot injury, is skating hard. The hope is he can return Tuesday or Thursday.
Would be nice to get him back, we've kinda been a 1-line team here recently.
