Didn't Hedman look like he rolled his ankle so bad last postseason that we thought he would miss time? Then he's back the next game playing 25+ and on his way to the Smythe. I don't believe Hedman is too hurt to miss a playoff game till I see it myself.

I think he'll play but the fact that he's played bad since being injured means we can't expect him to turn it around magically at this point. He is what he is right now, and that might be a liability more than an asset, considering we needed him to be Conn Smythe worthy last year.

So it happened on that dirty f****g play by Columbus. Of course, let me slide across the ice 10 feet and take out your legs when you are pinned against the boards

The Lightning cup came after a long break. And they got healthy. Will this team ever be firing on all cylinders again when it matters? So frustrating

Give them all the last game off and it'll be closer to 2 weeks to recover than not. Unless the guy who says "Hedman needs surgery" has an inside source who somehow blabbed (I call bullshit on that) we're gonna have see how it plays out.

I don't have a hell of a lot of faith in us outscoring our problems but I have faith we are gonna figure it out

Outscoring our problems means Kuch and Stammer come back firing and that’s a big ask. I do think Pointer will have more ice with Kuch on his wing allowing him to be potentially dominate

Before. Stamkos was there helping him off the ice.

March 30th to be specific. Still played 24 minutes that night.

I can't remember the play in question but I definitely remember making jokes about "more ways to abuse LTIR incoming" before he returned minutes later.

Huh, if only it had been able to work that way.

I'm the farthest thing from a doctor, but maybe it's a knee injury based on the awkward twist he makes in that video? Skating is a relatively low impact activity on your knees, which would explain how he's been able to play through it.

I tore my patellar tendon two years ago and roller blading was the only form of cardio I could do pain-free. I imagine other aspects of the game would be difficult. He seems to shy away from net battles which would certainly be a stressful act.
