Why would you say groin.
There’s zero indication that’s what it is.
There's zero indication of anything, hence why I said it's a my best guess.
I've gotten them from playing too. They're rarely "ugly" in the sense that somebody can pinpoint the moment one happens by watching a game unless you see them go into the the splits or something. In the moment you certainly feel it but with the adrenaline in you it's easy enough to skate through for the rest of the game. Chytil had been practicing but there's no mimicking a playoff game in practice. Like I said, one explosive stride is all it takes to tweak it. I can guarantee you he was cutting through the ice faster and harder in Game 3 than he's done at all in the last 6 months.
It's also something that gets worse over the next day or so, at least in my case. Not to the point that it's debilitating, but you can't go out there and battle through an NHL game without making it worse. They take time to heal.
The injury could be anything. I want to be clear that this is just my guess from going through similar injuries playing and seeing the timeline here for Chytil.
