InsaneHABSfan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 TSN STORY LINK Marian Hossa's first game as a Pittsburgh Penguin ended pre-maturely as the Slovakian sniper left after suffering a grade 1 strain of his MCL. The injury occurred in the second period of the Penguins game against the Boston Bruins when Hossa collided knee-on-knee with Glen Murray. He immediately left the ice and did not return.

This is going to suck for Pens management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 "grade 1" sprain? what does that mean? did he fall off the monkey bars at recess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMAC Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 "grade 1" sprain? what does that mean? did he fall off the monkey bars at recess? It means that Ray Shero is going to get roasted if the Pens dont perform. I know its wrong but my first, (and ok , my second and third ) reaction was a childish glee. As Bugs Bunny used to say: " I'm terrible". The Sens loss was icing on the cake :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAKS-AVENUE Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) It means that Ray Shero is going to get roasted if the Pens dont perform. I know its wrong but my first, (and ok , my second and third ) reaction was a childish glee. As Bugs Bunny used to say: " I'm terrible". The Sens loss was icing on the cake :hlogo: I wouldn't say I'm glad about this. I'm glad the Pens just got burned from a Habs fan stand point, but it isn't really funny. Price and Halak could go down and we're left with Danis, that wouldn't be funny........and no.......No ones going to burn. It's an injury. How could this have been predicted? You can't go pointing fingers at anyone.....It was a good deal on paper. The Pens looked scary with Hossa.........but he's hurt, How is that Shero's fault? Anyways........let's hope the Habs stay healthy for the remainder of the season and play-offs ....this could have been us. How long does an injury like this keep one out......approx?

jetsniper Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I laughed too. The irony is astounding. Oh yeah, I phoned my sister about this too since I was curious (she's a nurse), he should miss 1-2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Habby2919 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I laughed too. The irony is astounding. Oh yeah, I phoned my sister about this too since I was curious (she's a nurse), he should miss 1-2 weeks. Oh, I was kinda hoping that it was like Heatlys. Enought to put him out until the playoffs where he wouldnt matter anyway. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm just laughing at the fact everyone wanted this guy then its like the first shift, new team, injured. Habs fans should be like "phew, that was close" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneHABSfan Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's not right to laugh at the injury, but it is good that it hurts the Pens playoff push in the standings. Again, I only posted this news item as it pertains to the playoff push; not any feelings of bad for the player. In fact I hope the Habs can acquire Hossa in the offseason. If he is out 1 week, then it is not too bad. Any more then that, the Pens are really weak from the players they traded away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan84 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I just feel sorry for the Pens. They over pay for the guy and then the guy gets injured. Only good news for the Habs because if the Pens begin to lose we move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Shero didn't havr a choice to make the deal. The owners forced his hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Players tend to exert themselves in their respective debuts with a new club - so it shouldn't be too surprising that this happened. If anything, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. I can only imagine how much heat the organization (as a whole) would take if Hossa was injured long-term and didn't re-up with the Pens in the off-season.

JMMR Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ya it probably is longer than just a week. Who cares they wont have enough ice for Malkin Crosby and Hossa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Not to mention not enough decent guys to play in the third and fourth line. Then there's the whole aspect of their shaky defense that needs to be sorted out :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
