Homer advised Clarke to waste the no 22 pick on a brittle pretzel.

Nothing personal but not playing, get the HB hits elsewhere.

Lower body injury for Giroux, although not yet officially confirmed to us by Hextall.

He tore apart the 1992-93 World Junior Championship to a staggering extent (in seven games, Forsberg compiled a record 31 points that may never be broken)

Just let that sink in.

That was after World Junior expansion, the competition was watered down.

I guess we'll never know but could it have happened outside practice or a game?

Didn't Hextall say he was fine last night? Giroux must've fell out of bed.

Yeah, but still.... other players benefited from the same thing and no one ever came close to approaching it.

Realistically, his point totals were exaggerated that year but you're right, it's not like in the next few seasons anyone came close to him.

I use that all the time to dig my Bruins friends over Bobby Orr post expansion. Drives them nuts.

Honestly, he has a normal practice and comes off ice looking fine, later that night goes to see Doctor, Hexy then lets everyone knows last night "he's fine". Today does not practice and now has a LBI? I will never believe any comments regarding injuries with this team. EVER!

I wish there was more betting on hockey so there would be pressure to disclose injuries like there is in football.
