Are we ever not sithpoasting?
Reading the topic title (out for playoffs) I thought he is going to play even with a broken hand.

I would sit TT as well. The team is playing Rod’s style perfectly right now. We honestly play it better with less skill. If we lose a couple of games and need a shake up then fine.

So, what I'm hearing from you is that they should play Puljujarvi more, amirite?

Impressive. Most impressive.
Btw, I don't care what anybody says about the prequel trilogy, Episode III Revenge of the Sith is an excellent movie IMO. The others? Well, not quite as great to keep it brief.

Unfortunately they had to make jar jar so annoying. Having him as a Sith apprentice that got close to the Jedi would have been one good storyline to inject into II and III

True, Jar Jar could've probably been a fairly interesting character since it seems George Lucas was originally going for that plot twist. It's also a shame that Darth Maul's epic fight scene isn't enough to offset the Phantom Menace's problems.
However, we probably wouldn't have one of the few silver linings of Jar Jar being an annoyingly goofy character with this parody (they even got the original voice actor for Jar Jar):
*Edit* I almost forgot Darth Jar Jar since we were speaking about that cancelled plot twist.

Legitimately no idea this year, but that said I'm not sure he was ever legitimately healthy all year. I also don't think he's quite as effective on the left as he is the right wing for whatever reason, but we kindof shoe horned him into that spot because there wasn't a RW spot open in the top 9.

Probably not enough time off this time to heal too....

Tripp reported that, in addition to the injuries, his grandfather was ill and later, passed away as well.

if i were a betting man, Turbo was given the option of playing on it or going for surgery. he wanted to play. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that he has surgery this off-season

Guess he's not out for the playoffs. Who could have seen that coming?
Not Rod, Precision Diagnostics-R-Us, that's for sure.

No but seriously, he had surgery 25 days ago on a broken hand.
And he's apparently set to return for the ECF. f***ing nuts.
I mean, if you are a professional athlete, or really just about anyone, broken bones are usually some of the easiest recoveries. Obviously, there are exceptions. I bet Svech and Patches wish they had broke a bone of some sort instead of the tendons and ligaments they each are dealing with now.
A typical broken bone, yes.
A broken bone in the hand for a professional athlete using his hands (not a football lineman)? That's a trickier recovery to full performance.
A broken bone in the hand that required pins? I'm stunned TT is even skating without a non-contact jersey already.
