The list of hockey injuries after the season is never disappointing

Jeremy Lauzon had to play with a splint on his hand in Round 2. Required pain management.

"It was good enough for me to play."

Tuukka Rask was compensating for his hip injury. Then his back seized up. Could barely walk for a week.

"It was hard. I had it all year."

Sheesh! I know this is the Simple Minds Sports show, so maybe someone can answer a question for me? Do ice skates remove all pain receptors from the body? Are Hockey players just not reliant on athleticism and twitch muscles or whatever the fuck? How in the world can we get lists like this every single year after the hockey season, but Robert Williams misses playoff games for Turf toe on a hard wood court? Kahwi Leonard plays a 1/3 of the season just in case he gets nicked up? Eduardo Rodriguez can’t be the opening day starter because his arm is not feeling its tip top shape that day. I’m pretty sure David Wells missed games because he over ate. That one I made up, David Wells could never over eat.
