Tough news for JVR's brother:

@ChrisKuc 

#Blackhawks' Trevor van Riemsdyk suffered a left patella fracture. He will undergo surgery tomorrow. Out three to four months.

So what the heck is going on in Pittsburgh?  Letang has a stroke, Maata has a tumour in his neck, and now this:

@JoshYohe_Trib

Dupuis out at least six months with a blood clot in his lungs. Unreal news.

I know nothing is going on, that's just crazy.

Given that trauma and prolonged travel are big risk factors for developing blood clots I'm actually somewhat surprised that we don't see them a little more often in general.

Might as well just re-name this the Columbus Blue Jackets thread.

@Aportzline

You know what though, I wouldn't really be that upset if half our team got hit with injuries this season.

Aportzline: #CBJ announce C Mark Letestu has had abdominal surgery. Out six weeks.

Aportzline: Concerning trend. Letestu is at least the eighth #CBJ player in the year and a half to require abdominal surgery.

That is a pretty concerning trend. Feels like too many instances in a short time period for them not to be somehow related to something the team is asking players to do.

If they all have 8-pack abs though isn't it worth it?

"Abdominal surgery" is actually ab implants.

8 pack abs, zero range of motion . . . sounds like a lovely combo.

Or in other words, Lime's dream come true (too deep of a deep cut?).

Apparently Corey Crawford will miss the next few weeks because he fell down at a Rise Against concert:

From the link:

Crawford refused to give any more details about the incident, including whether alcohol was involved.

So basically alcohol was definitely involved.

And they didn't title this article "Rise and fall of Corey Crawford" why...?

Holy-moley

Holy-moley

5 of their 7 defensemen are out with injury.  That is insane.

Beau Bennett's entry there might be my favourite injury listing ever.
