Wonder if hockey will be back by then, hmmm?

Playing with an injured shoulder for 2 months is pretty smart.

He didnt play a game after he got injured. Also unless people have been playing in some underground league, no one has played in 2 months anyway

Simon says....put your hands over your head...Oh, wait!

do what he says not what he does?

Wow, I can't believe he hurt it playing wiffle ball.

 

[Shockmaster]

Wow, I can't believe he hurt it playing wiffle ball.

More likely he hurt it whiffing on a great set-up.

Good news is if the league starts up again, Guentzel may be ready.

The next sport we’ll see will be Thunderdome.

We can't be happy about player injuries due to TOS

So....no comment

Even when they haven't played for months, Penguins are still freshly hitting the IR for half a year at a time.

Lol. Yeah. What a season..

Guarantee one of our stars is getting hurt at camp.

Would have to think that with everyone back and healthy, assuming there is even a continuation at this point, he would be either on the 4th line or 13th winger in the press box. I believe so anyways. It’s been so long since I actually thought of the Penguins roster that I could be wrong.

Just severely surprised on the timing of this and sitting around and doing nothing for two months. Only thing I can think of is with the shutdown and it not being life altering surgery, they simply pushed it off.

Or that he possibly re-aggravated the injury working out during the stoppage.

 

[Fordy]

yeah i assume he was avoiding surgery as does every pen, and attempting to rehab at home improperly

 

[HandshakeLine]

Or for the most juvenille comedic answer, he was furiously jackin' it, pulled a muscle, and then a weight machine fell on him, ala Marty Straka.

(Incidentally, I've always felt that Straka's spirit animal was Wile E. Coyote.)

Serious post, though. If Simon's been injured for a while and was trying to play through it, the Sheary acquisition makes so much more sense now.

I think he got hurt after the trade deadline. Simon got hurt on February 29th and they made the Kahun trade on February 24th.

February feels like so long ago. You're probably right and thus I'm back to "Ugh, the Sheary trade makes no f***ing sense".

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

I'll gladly sacrifice Simon for a fully healthy/ready to go Guentzel if/whenever the hell the season reboots.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Or that he possibly re-aggravated the injury working out during the stoppage.

Could also be true. Either way, it’s only something someone on this team would figure out how to accomplish while not even playing.

Pray we never see him a Pens jersey again.

 

[Shockmaster]

Pray we never see him a Pens jersey again.

Assuming play resumes at some point this summer, we'll mostly forget he exists. Hell, it was easy to forget Simon existed when Crosby was out with the core injury and he got pushed down the line-up.

Wonder if he thought if there was a chance the season resumed he'd wait until the offseason. I had a torn labrum, they suck but they don't always require surgery (not sure what his case was tho).

Any chance this move means NHL is donzo for 2020?
