About OV being on gear? Is that really taboo? We used to guess about NFL players all the time.
Who was the LB for the Patriots who went from special teams to pro bowl late in his career?

Go try to even INSINUATE it on the main boards. Let me know how long the post lasts.

Malkin tore his ACL and MCL in February 2011 and was doing on-ice workouts 2.5 months later. Karlsson also had a miraculous recovery timeline following his achilles tear. I think it's more or less an open secret in the league (and every major sport).
I’m pretty sure like 80% of the NFL is cycling on and off. Combat sports, 100% of elite fighters.

They're all on stuff that makes recovery faster, at a minimum. Some isn't all that illegal. But I'm sure boundaries are pushed.
Technically steroids are not illegal. Procuring them without a prescription is. It wouldn’t surprise me if they proscribed to athletes recovering from injury, or for other more dubious reasons.

No no he just happened to decline significantly in the prime of his career right after the 2010 Olympics. That’s just how it goes.

Lame, but the Pens have dealt with injuries to their stars for decades.
Just goes to show how much better the Pens stars (and the franchise) have been.

If Sid had Ovechkin's run of durability, he's probably sitting at like 1800pts.

If Sid or Geno were announced as week-to-week, they'd be gone for half the season. Ovechkin probably misses 5 games. Same thing happened with McDavid. Dude missed like half a dozen games after an injury that would have sidelined Sid/Geno for 30+ games.
Our stars' injury luck versus other stars in the league was truly brutal.

Monty wasn't even a bad coach either, imagine firing a coach that went 120-41-23 and the Pens refuse to fire Sullivan.
After that Mitch Miller shit, they can go f*** themselves, the only sad part is Mike Sullivan isn't there where he belongs, in a beantown shit show with his son in law.
I f***ing hate the Oilers but I hope Kapanen bounces back there, what Sullivan did to the poor lad still pisses me off and maybe this is the situation that gets him going again. Eat shit Sullivan.
