Seemed like a failed experiment. He was favouring it the entire shift and ended up being directly responsible for the goal against. At least it’s not dislocated

No it didn’t. Pinto letting couture stand back door all by himself led to the goal

The fact that he returned to the game tonight is a good sign. I’d imagine he isn’t out more then a couple weeks. He’s clearly injured though.

OK, I called exactly White's injury. I'm going to call Pinto's. It's a sprained AC joint. 2-4 weeks.

Oh, what a loss. We don’t have an unmotivated player to call up. How will we survive?

What an absolute warrior. May not have been a storybook comeback tonight, but the drive and determination to show up and play again after that hit in game 4 of the season just shows the strength and character this guy possesses.
Pinto will be a beast in the playoffs. One of those guys who dominates only for us to find out how badly he was suffering throughout afterwards.
He's a game changer

I agree, but he has to figure out the threshold. If you’re going to tell the coach you’re good to go, you have to be able to finish the shift.
He’s a rookie, and the courage is there which is the hard part.
Completely agree. Its one of the places where you'll find a huge contrast between a 'good hockey player' and a 'veteran hockey player.' The body is at its peak in the early years, it's only when the head/mind levels with the strength that a player will really mature.
I agree. I respect the fight in the kid but if you cant even hold your stick with 2 hands its probably better if you sat this one out.
Directly responsible for the goal seems like he was trying to get off the ice when he left courture open infront

I don't think Pinto leaving the game again was related to the shoulder, it seemed to be the slash
Blaming him for not defending there is undeserved, he received a 2 hands slash. It should have been a Senators PP instead.
I was wondering why the refs missed that, I thought that he momentarily lost focus to move away from the action but it happened before so he must have seen it. Maybe he coudn't double task? lol that sucks because it probably changed the game. And it was lucky goal too, a shot through traffic that lands right on Couture's tape who is left alone because of the slash he gave
That game sucked. Sens deserved a much better fate
Is this already a meme?

I think it's really telling that he came back out, even for a shift. I'm expecting 2 weeks recovery but hopefully less.
