Any Hidden Injuries acknowledged?

[Penspal]

I took a couple days off the Pens media landscape, it was charred, scorched and devastated, and for probably good reason. But today is Draft Monday, and I can't miss that

However, I've missed any reports of injuries... were any shared/announced?

- Sid missed some training camp, was the reason disclosed?
- How healthy was Jake, like really?
- Did Dumo hurt his foot in that first game? I'm almost hoping he did, cause he was FAAAAAR from what we are used to.

I have yet to hear anything official. From what I have heard, Sid was still being nagged by whatever happened in camp. I think in both Guentzel and Dumo's case, it was just long injury layoffs plus COVID kept them out of true game shape. Dumo had only come back and played maybe 6-8 games I think after his bad ankle injury.

I've seen some knuckleheads already writing off Dumoulin and ready to ride him out of town. He's been one of their most solid defenders for the past 4-5 years. I won't write anybody off for one bad playoffs, especially when the entire team was crap overall.

I did not notice anything wrong with Dumoulin. Dumoulin's pairing partner, Kris Letang, continued to provide legitimate reasons why the Penguins need to move on and move forward without him.

Disagree 100%. Compared to this year's regular season, and the past 2 years (regular season and playoffs), other than not scoring, Letang was pretty solid.

Dumoulin, on the other hand, made multiple poor decisions. He got caught pinching multiple times that left Letang back covering 2-1 against Montreal, among other poor decisions with the puck. I don't think you'll find many people out there that will state Dumoulin had a good series.

I'm not sure if they will have an official breakdown day as usual under these circumstances. I'm not expecting to hear much until after tonight. I'm interested to hear Rutherford's feedback a few days after the loss, and, see what his mood is like depending on tonight's outcome.

It will be very interesting to hear from GMJR and his view on this season. I imagine no locker room "clean out" talk due to Covid but I'm sure the GM will have an interview/talk with Yohe/Rossi. We should def. hear from him tonight if we win No. 1

Another early postseason exit and days without a media update should be clues something is happening behind the scenes. Someone has to admit failure and walk walks in changes being made.

I'm butthurt and my ego is bruised cause my team lost and didn't lay it all on the line.

Molinari reporting that Malkin just had elbow surgery today, and has a 2-3 week recovery time. Nothing further released from the team. Molinari says a source told him the issue that prompted the surgery existed before the start of the qualifying round.

With that turn around time it is probably just bursitis.

Maybe that's why his slap shot looked like a Ryan Whitney creampuff...So much for being healthy going into this with 4 months off. Sid was hurt, Geno was hurt, Dumo was hurt and Jake wasn't ready.

Madden says his sources say it was nothing more than minor arthroscopic cleanup (which fits the 2-4 week recovery time), and that it seems more like a convenient excuse to try and shift blame away from Malkin's poor playoff performance.

Madden would say that since he’s a hater. Rossi says Geno has needed major surgery, different from this current surgery, since 2016 and that’s why his slap shot has decreased in velocity, but he won’t get that done until his career is over

ZAR out 6 months after having left shoulder surgery.

ZAR out 6 months after having left shoulder surgery.

On the plus side, that's 1M in LTIR space to start the season.

[DelPen]

I can only think ZAR didn’t tell the team he was hurt. We literally had half a dozen guys who could have stepped into his spot in the bubble and could had also left him in Pittsburgh and brought Poulin with us if this was something wrong before the series started.

Unless it happened in the last game but after Sullivan laid into him there’s no way the team played him knowingly while injured.

Evgeni doesn't go on Madden's show, hence the hate.
He could have played more on the wing. Get to the net. Plus I go back to Sullivan's quote- We like the way Geno is playing. Low risk.

That is too bad though. I was planning on using him as trade bait. Some of the analytic teams out there would have value for him. I think he's been a shell of himself since he got his jaw busted.
