Letang placed on IR with groin injury. Slight fracture in Kunitz's foot. No timeline, but could be a couple weeks, per Coach Johnston #Pens @penguins

Coach on Wilson: "He has a leg injury. Unfortunately for him it happened in his 1st game. They are going to examine him & see what’s wrong." @penguins

Really feel bad for Wilson ... hurt in his first game :(

They were doing so well after pre-season, too minus cancer and blood clots and the inevitability of a Beau Bennett injury.

All that means is that they've moved on to bigger and worse health problems... or are maintaining that.

Crosby and Malkin in the preseason
Bortuzzo out in the preseason
*Maatta's cancer
Bennett in preseason practice
Comeau got sick
Bennett again
*Dupuis with a blood clot
Goc faked an injury to escape
Letang's groin
Bortuzzo and Crosby are sick
Wilson tonight
Assorted WBS injuries and Kapanen did something at one point
Letang and Martin both got hit in the face during practice but were fine

:help:

I haven't watched the game yet...

...how bad did Wilson's injury look?

No idea. He just disappeared in the second period. It wasn't until the third that anyone noticed he wasn't on the bench.

Slight fracture in Kunitz's foot
That can't be true. Is it?
I thought he was lazy.
I mean there have been dozens of posts here lately with disrespectful, callous and downright vicious language declaring Kunitz "lazy".

Guess he was hurt all along??
And tried to play through it?

Yeah, looks like it:

“They decided to take a closer look at his foot, which has been bugging him,†head coach Mike Johnston said. “I don’t have a specific timeline for that right now. They don’t expect it will be long. He’ll be out for a couple weeks I would think.â€

That just means he fits right in.

While it's unfortunate that Kunitz is injured, hopefully his play this season can be attributed to the injury and not just a general decline.

He looked lazy. He played lazy. If he was hurt, he should have not been playing. Now he's not playing so he can get healthy. Woohoo.

Not only that.... but people keep consistently ignoring the fact that he's been playing largely the same crappy way spanning well back into last season. If he's been playing through a foot injury for 50+ games (and it was bad enough to linger all offseason, somehow) then I guess I'm impressed. And also have a bridge to sell you.

Trust me, I hope we get the old Kunitz back more than anyone. But he's long in the tooth and has played a very physical brand of hockey his whole career up until the last couple of seasons. Do the math.

It's not luck. The Penguins own Gary Bettman. :sarcasm:

Seriously, as of today, the chances of McDavid landing with a Metro team other than the Pens are pretty good.

Nice to see Goc back at practice. Hopefully BB will return "on schedule".

Yepp. I look at the broken foot as good news. Gives me hope that he's not just playing terrible hockey.

I don't know... I mean he's no spring chicken anyway. Any injury that inhibits his mobility is pretty bad news IMO. We'll see how it goes once he comes back I guess.
