There is still about month or so to go but people falling left and right.

Like…… wth?

Okay. That one is a little odd….

It's just a take ever since we paid so much attention to it, it never gets any better. So I choose to try and ignore it (I know it's hard to ignore) as best I can and these kind of threads I find depressing.

A little humor thrown at the inevitable.

 

[Night Shift]

It was overdo to happen.

Feeling it's going to be a long season!

Penguins getting a head start on the man games lost category already.

This team man...

Who will go down in the pre-season... and who will go down in the first week...

I'm guessing there are 4-5 starters out by the time the second week of the season starts.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Par for the course by this point, no??

I know it’s early, but when can we expect any updates on Sid/Geno?

I'm checking the obituaries every day.

After physicals are done at training camp. Anything earlier would be unusual.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

And even then Sullivan will just give his cryptic "they're progressing as expected" and nothing more.

I sold most of OUR health on this board for back 2 back Cups. So we are all in deep shit.

 

[Peat]

Hextall's said Malkin is likely to start the season on LTIR, but feels fairly sure Sid will be close to six weeks and only miss a few games.

Good news on Sid. Not surprised about Geno. He needs to come back 100% the first time and not go on and off the IR for a month.

The initial projections were that he could be out until January or maybe longer.

I still think there will be good news re: Malkin within that context.

 

[HandshakeLine]

My balse are also injured from all this blue ballin’.

“Week-to-week”.

For months.

My Balcers so not injured.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Why can't some 4th liner get injured? It is always Sid and Geno, ALWAYS! Oh, and Letang too.

Backstrom and Ovechkin never miss time, why can't that be OUR stars?

Backstrom missed the majority of the playoffs with a concussion last year and had a hip issue all playoffs this year.

You and your details...

Ovechkin only then

This f***er very rarely gets hurt. 92% availability or something like that.

Are Sid, and especially Geno, even over 75%?

I mean, look at Sid and Malkin's style of play and body type versus Ovie.
