Why is Pittsburgh so injury prone

[Conbon]

Seriously, is it their play style? Was the arena built on an Indian burial ground? Did they anger the gods? Every single key player that they have had since they got Crosby, heck even Lemieux, just can't stay healthy. Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Shultz, Maata, Murray, Dupuis, Goligoski, Despres, Bennett, Hornqvist, etc. It seems even if they don't miss major amounts of time, if you are a Penguin, you'll never play a full season again until you wear another jersey.

Pens arena was actually built on an Indian burial ground, but they moved to a new arena in 2010

 

[Smelling Salt]

Would they be interested in one Martin Hanzal

 

[xVolchenkov]

They’ve played more hockey than any other team. Wear and tear has to come in to play.

Why is Pittsburgh so Stanley Cup prone

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

While everybody else is golfing and chilling by the lake they're grinding out back to back Stanley Cup runs. There's a lot of hard miles on that core.

 

[Frosty415]

They're tired from winning so many cups.

Yeah, but the new arena has cooties, and they get in everyone's Cheerios!

 

[Kale Hulls]

Because they tanked to get Crosby and Malkin.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Hilarious,only Penguin players get hurt in a contact sport.
Get well soon,Penguins.

Baby soft

 

[Fatty McLardy]

They seem to not have any trouble at all winning cups even though they're so injury prone.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

St Louis, Vancouver, and Tampa always struggle with injury issues too

 

[Macbanan]

Playing lots and lots of games and teams play hard when facing the stanley cup champions.

Personally, I have always thought it has something to do with The Hockey Gods. I'm an Atheist otherwise, but I do believe in The Hockey Gods. I think injury/sickness/tragedy is the price Pittsburgh pays for the gluttony of riches in the way of talented and elite superstars. The universe works in mysterious ways, but the law of equilibrium is still a law. The highest highs, come with the lowest lows. Pittsburgh lives and dies by that sword.

[DatSnipeMatthews]

I heard the Penguins tried to read this thread. Unfortunately, the shine from their two ( three for some) cup rings was too bright.

 

[GordieHowsUrBreath]

because every other team is extra dirty when they play them

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Bad form hopping over the boards for a line change. Pull groin.

 

[RDTBay4]

Tampa Bay says hello.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Because they tanked to get Crosby and Malkin.

You act like they've been injury prone for only the last 2 years. Not such a "duh" answer.
