A safe bet with Sully is "he is currently being evaluated further" and then "week to week"

We saw him heading straight for the mountains

It’s insane to me that Zucker is back to practicing with the other injured guys already.

At what point do they fire they entire medical staff? I mean, Kappy was just unlucky, but Jesus Christ. It is EVERY FREAKING YEAR!

Heavily bet the Islanders this weekend. At least we should get paid for the impending misery we're gonna experience.

Yea it’s literally every year. New players come in who are historically fairly healthy and miss 10-15 games at least every time. Malkin and Letang are just injury prone athletes at this point but the rest?

They absolutely have to make a trade now, right? I mean you can’t expect to make the playoffs icing 6 minor league forwards for like 2 weeks.

Since the Pens' injury jinx inflicts usually healthy players prior to becoming Pens, we should try a reverse jinx by acquiring *only* players with extensive injury histories and turn them into ironmen.

Can't help but think of (retired) Sami Salo, and how by this logic he would be an iron man here.

I get the sentiment, but they're not suffering soft tissue injuries. It's not hamstrings and groins.
You can't do much to prevent injuries that come from a guy landing awkwardly in the boards like Zucker, taking a shot to the ankle like Kapanen, getting hit illegally like Blueger, or going knee to knee like Malkin.
