I mean .. would it REALLY surprise anyone if MM missed 6 months from complications from a staph infection in his thumb?

This team. Its unreal.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they have to amputate.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Ouch.
That blows.
Good thing we kept MAF.

 

[Asuna]

So glad Murray played in that stupid ass tournament.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm interested to see who the Pens backup will be for the next 3-6 weeks to be honest. Will they make Jarry the backup or will they claim someone who gets put on waivers? They could possibly claim Zatkoff if he were to lose the backup spot on LA.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I hate everything.

Could be Irving.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

God damn it

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Stupid World Cup. You're giving management their excuse.

 

[SirBrad]

So it begins....

Good thing they kept Fleury around. You're going to need both of these guys to make it through the season.

 

[gdsmack267]

Could be worse, so he will pretty much miss all of October

Man, I can already hear the press conference where they announce Murray being traded.

 

[DegenX]

Three weeks from the announcement puts it (2) days after the home opener. A full (6) weeks would be at the Shark Tank. While I don't want him rushing back, it's not outside of the realm of possibility he could be ready for the Caps game.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

This team, collectively, couldn't casually stroll through a room padded wall to wall with mattresses and fluffly pillows without finding a way to break a bone.

 

[Stad]

Damn, that sucks he won't even get to start the game when the banner is raised. He deserved it, obviously.

 

[eXile59]

Thanks World Cup. Something that even the most die hard hockey fans are passing on.

We'll always have 2016.

 

[Jacob]

Not a big deal IMO. He'll miss 12 games at most, and he would've started only half of them anyway.

 

[BHD]

So he could miss ~10 games. No need to panic.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Sucks he'll miss the banner raising, but better this happens now than in season.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Kessel off the list?

 

[Sotty]

Some extra games for MAF to raise his trade value.

 

[DegenX]

Kessel off the list?

I took him off since he's been fully participating in practice and all the beat reporters say he looks fine. There's also been nothing official from the Pens either way. If anything changes, then I'll add him if need be.

Cullen, Rust and Sundqvist aren't listed because they're not officially injured, just being rested. No update on Cullen yet, but
