Ben Shelley: Hurricanes defeat Wild, but Max Pacioretty's injury a cause for concern

Trying to understand why there is concern about another Pacioretty injury, As good as he is the winger has made a career of being unavailable because of various physical ailments, This is a 34 year old that Waddell should have avoided.

Why on earth was Patches even out on the ice up 3 goals with under a minute to play. Rod should take some heat for this. Very dumb in hindsight

And where the hell is Bingo!?

I also wonder and question why Max was even out there in the last minute with a 3 goal lead. Hate to second guess coach RB, but this did happen last year too when Freddy was left in the Colorado 7-4 blow-out. I understand players want to play and don't want yanked, but sometimes caution precludes necessity. Coulda woulda I know, but still sucks balls.

Same Achilles. Clearly *clearly* rushed back. Somebody on the medical staff made a terrible call. And why, exactly? Canes didn't need him with any degree of desperation. Very unfortunate for the player.

Pacioretty reinjured his Achilles and is out until July.

Vancouver sports radio was talking up Horvath for Kotkaniemi plus. Was not a fan of the Kotkaniemi contract when it was signed and if Carolina can turn him into Bo Horvath, they should do it before it gets challenged

Hey

Looks like Max is done, torn achilles again. This one hurts.

The Waddell signing of Kotkaniemi was simply a revenge signing and really poor decision making, Waddell also made a huge mistake for picking up Pacioretty based on the fact that the star forward has a continuing history of injury.
