Good for him. Piss off N(BC)HL. He'll still recovering from your Flyers.

He's missing the ASG because it's stupid, and he's missing the next game because of the 1 game suspension for missing the ASG. I have no problem with this, he could use a 6 or so day rest more than anyone.

This is where I'm at. I know it's irrational, and I know the injuries are no one's fault. But it's really difficult for me right now to keep my interest in hockey when my team's roster seems to constantly be missing 5 or 6 of its best players every single night. It's just so frustrating at this point.
I was having so much fun watching this team at the beginning of the season. They had a full roster and they were playing a cohesive brand of hockey. It started with Maatta's cancer announcement, followed by Dupuis' blood clot. Ever since then it's just been a parade of injuries/illnesses to every single key guy on the club.
What really boggles my mind is that they don't even play a particularly physical game when compared to other teams. I'd understand and expect more injuries under a demanding coach like Tortorella, for instance, since apparently he demands his players step in front of shots etc. It really is a strange phenomenon.
I'm curious as to how much we lead the league in injuries by and what teams are 2,3,4,5. Is it a different set of teams in those positions every year with the Pens leading the way each and every year or are there similarly injury prone teams that are in the top five every year?
MY Flyers? I ****ing hate the Flyers.
If Gary Bettman wants the league’s stars to promote the sport, maybe the league should do more to protect those stars in the games that matter.
I hope he's missing the ASG because the league do them no favors. They don't protect their stars let alone the face of the league. It's not even subtle.
I don't think sid or geno would do it intently......but as a fan i'll blame it on that.......maybe the nhl will take the hint.
And there's the outrage from the main board, saying how poor of a sport Crosby is for not wanting to go to the ASG. What a surprise.
i actually think Sid would
Good for Sid and Geno

It's not really good for Geno, though, his issues sound way more serious and honestly terrify me a little bit.
