I hope he is not jeapordizing his season by playing injured in October and November. That is irresponsible on both himself and the team. This happened once before with Pasta, when he has a foot injury and they finally figured out he had a hairline fracture. So much wasted healing time.

They should have also learned from playing Tuukka that one year in the playoffs when he could not move side to side but they let Ullmark play injured too a few years ago. Or not resting Bergy, Ullmark and Krech before the playoffs, they all got hurt at the wrong time. I know Bergy wanted to play in front of his father one last time but guys like Pezzetta are there to make a name for themselves.

Its way too early to risk Pasta, let him heal, if he is even hurt, which there is no evidence. I dont see him grimacing or sitting out practices, I see frustration and a tentitive player that has slowed his game down. He is risking further damage, not a great way to protect your prized investment before 20 games.

I think Lindholm broke his foot a month before the post season that year, too. They didn't rest him at all and he looked like complete dogshit in the first round against the Panthers.

Safe to say that if Pasta was leading the league in scoring, like MacKinnon is, no one would be complaining.

Also, not sure why you equate giveaways with laziness. No one thinks either MacKinnon or Makar are lazy players.
