He had a cyst on his ankle last year, that’s why he didnt play. He got surgery mid playoffs.
Still can't figure out why KK didn't play Stecher more down the stretch last year or to start the season this year. One of his few misses.
The NHL absouletly does nothing to protect its star players and actively undermines them to let scrubs even the playing field. It’s disgusting and it needs to stop.Gordie Howe too. You bring up a good point and its that todays superstars not only don't get enforcers, they are not even being allowed to push back or take any infractions further to defending themselves. Its increasingly a no win position for stars.
Gretz never had to contend with the stuff McDrai are made to absorb daily. No protection anymore from league or enforcers.
I truly thought that with McDavid getting to the finals last year he would start to get the benefit of the doubt on calls like other “savvy” vets get. Apparently not. It’s just more of the same. Hack, slash, obstruct and nothing.
