Clearly Beau is a jinx, I'd get him out of there. He may be like the Billy Goat in Chicago, I don't know. Afterwords get a witch doctor, a priest/rabbi, someone who can come in and set up the locker room with good Feng Shui and exorcise the demons out of the joint.
Now that you mentioned it. All the bad stuff like Sid's concussions, Malkin's blown out knee etc. have happened since the day Bennett was drafted here. Maybe he is cursed.

Silly children... you think Beau's test sample sent to the CDC merely contains the Mumps? Clearly he's infected with a small pox-polio-malaria-bubonic plague-Bovine spongiform encephalopath hybrid and will miss the next 2-52 weeks with an "upper body injury".

The only one powerful enough to withstand that force is Adams (knock on wood and say a prayer for the man that I didn't jinx him).

The odds of Bennett getting that second issue that 15% of the mump cases gets (dont remember the name). It must be closer to 95% in his case 
Speaking Moistly
What a terrible image.
Oh, BB. That's awful and all too predictable. Good luck not getting any of the bad extras from the mumps, you unlucky s.o.b. /
He's the balance to Adams.

The really bad thing with Beau his trade value is less than zero. Who would honestly want his bad luck. I think we are stuck with him.

I seriously/sincerely/nothing mean-spirited meant by it, wonder how long Bennett has mentally. This has got to be so draining on him. I hope he can fight through all of it and get to a point where he gets past the injury situation and just plays.

Poor Beau is like that sick little fella from the movie "The Little Giants" that they had to put in bubble wrap
he already seemed relatively humiliated after the preseason injury, so id imagine staying positive at this point has become a real chore.

Yeah. Making jokes at the guy's expense is easy... and somewhat understandable considering how progressively ludicrous his situation has become. But mostly I just feel bad for him and wonder how he must be dealing with it, mentally.
I get that he's living the dream in a lot of ways. But especially as a pro athlete and competitor... this constant sitting around waiting to get back into action while the months and years slip by has to be really depressing.

He deleted his freaking twitter after the second knee injury. I can imagine he didn't want to hear all of the bickering and jokes made at his expense...although reading some of the replies to his tweets, he gets some pretty sexy women beckoning at his every word...so that's definitely something that should have kept his morale up hahaha.

He's a multi-millionaire at age 23 despite missing ~2/3rds of every season. I'm sure he's doing fine.
Feeling sorry for a multi-millionaire athlete isn't something I'll ever do, but whatever floats your boat.
