Yeah I think all the players this time of year are either hurt or just worn down physically. Nothing wrong with skipping, but like I said, this is the first time since like 2009 (thats as far back as I went) that Ovie has skipped the IIHF championships. So you gotta know it's something significant because of that right there.



Yeah I feel for the guy. Probably one of the few who actually likes Ovie, its unfortunate he's gotta go head to head with Sid every year to win the cup :/

Imo it's the about Ovi vs Sid, but the teams overall.

The Washington Capitals star said Friday he played through a knee injury suffered on the hit from Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri in their first-round series, adding that he also fought through a hamstring ailment sustained in Game 3 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.

It's kinda bad luck, just as Washington puts together the strongest team it has yet Pittsburgh comes outta nowhere with 3 US college players making elc $ playing like 6 mil players.

Well thats kinda the power of Crosby, he has the ability to make his linemates significantly better. Hence why he's the greatest in the world.

To be the best ypu gotta beat the best



So true, not only his linemate but all his teamates. Karlsson had the same impact on his team

When you see your best players giving all they got you got no choice but to do the same. Been begging for that kind of leader in MTL for quite a long time

Sekera out 6-9 months with Acl tear

Welcome to the kneegro guild

Wojtek Wolski back on ice 8 months after breaking neck in KHL game.

bonino update?

Doubt he plays. Last seen in crutches and walking boot and whenever he goes on the ice it's for a short time and he can barely move.
