Top 10 Underacheiving players (THN)

Sorry to go OT...If I could find the video of what caused it, I'd show you, but it was a hit that made you think knee and not groin. As to he is ALWAYS injured, you can't really blame his injuries last season (puck to the head and Stephan headshot) nor can you blame him for his 1st injury this season (again, dump in cought him in the face). Yes he gets injured a lot and he needs to do a better job not taking hits unnecessary hits, but this injury was a result of a knee on knee hit...

Edit: found a video of it NHL On The Fly: Mike Green Injury Video - NHL VideoCenter

I am not blaming last season's injuries on his shape. Knee on knee or not, if your musculature is better built you can avoid those injuries or take the impact better. It also has a TON to do with how long it takes you to come back.

You can not achieve if you are not on the ice.....ergo......

His leg gives...it wasn't that big of an impact. A pro athlete should be able to stave those off....just my opinion. A pattern is forming with him, and you and I both know his reputation in the offseason.

 

[ritari330]

You say a pattern is forming, yet you say that you don't blame his injuries last year on him...So a pattern is forming off of which injuries? Yes his conditioning isn't great and he has gotten injured a lot, but at the moment they aren't connected.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

The pattern of being out of shape and taking forever to get back up to speed from injuries.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

We can agree to disagree on this.

 

[ritari330]

I think we agree that we'd have a hard time giving him a long term deal after this season.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I say we sign him for 15 years......signed the New York Islanders
