Stamkos broken leg??

[BF4L]

Just went hard into the goal post and was in a a lot of pain. Took off on a stretcher.

That sucks cause he is such a good player

More likely a torn ACL, which can be a career-ender.

How would it be a torn ACL when clearly his leg hit the post?

It looks like his leg snapped

 

[BF4L]

I hope not. I love watching him play

The strain would be on the ACL area which is not padded.

And if the leg had snapped he wouldn't have grabbed the area the way he did.

My own experience is with broken arms, not legs, but that doesn't make much difference. I know more
about fractures than I wish I did.

 

[puckhead]

ouch. that'll teach him to backcheck.

From a purely selfish standpoint, that could be a big loss for Team Canada in Sochi...

Ouch! I hope Stankos gets better soon. As to the injury itself, you are all wrong... clearly a lower body injury.

Not to mention my hockey pool!!!

That doesn't look good hope he's OK. I'm surprised they didn't have a lot more injuries like that when they had the old steel pegs. Those fuckers didn't move.

Ouch, poor guy. That reminds me of years ago when Yzerman ran into the goal post the same way and broke his leg.

Hope it's not broken, just bruised.

I guess Sami Salo was also injured in the 2nd period - That was practically an ironman streak for Sami.

/Afternoon games are the worst.

what the 2 periods

Im not shocked but again I feel bad for him he is a solid guy and dman

On TV replays he appeared to tell a teammate, "It’s broken," before the trainer got out to him.

Heal quickly Steve.

If they would do away with that damn slippery ice it would prevent a lot of these injuries.

as a goalie I always say...

some ice is slipperier than others.

slipperier is that even a word?

If it can be used in a pron movie, it's a word.

IDK but it seems pretty slick and even slicker at the start of the periods.
