Dominic Moore's Wife Has Rare Cancer

[Mr. Teal]

San Jose Sharks center Dominic Moore says he missed playoff games this postseason because his wife has a rare form of liver cancer.

Moore issued a statement Tuesday through the Sharks to explain his absence from San Jose's final two playoff games in April against St. Louis.

He says his wife, Katie, was diagnosed with the disease late in the season. She underwent surgery in California in April and Moore missed the final two games against the Blues with the team's permission.

Moore thanked the organization and his teammates for their support. He says Katie is still being treated and offered no further details.

Moore was acquired in February from Tampa Bay for a second-round pick and had no goals and six assists in 23 games.

Yeesh. That's unfortunate to say the least.

I feel very bad for him, I do, but it doesnt change the fact that he still fucking blows and I hope he never wears a Sharks jersey again...

Maybe he does blow but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Let's hope she recovers and everything works out well for the Moore family.

Awful to hear, you gotta think his mind was elsewhere during those games. Best wishes to Dominic, his wife and their entire family.

Yeah, but does rules still hate him for being a sucky player?
