  1. Ouch que le caliss

    Je sais pas les circonstances de son accident, mais ça me surprend toujours les histoires d’athlètes qui subissent des blessures graves durant la saison morte. 

    Quand ton corps est ton gagne-pain, fais y attention au cube.

  2. Yup sucks for him but probably end of the rope for him. Too many good young players coming up to stave off for long.

  3. What!? I thought it was a minor lower body injury. What “other sport” was he doing where he broke his fucking leg so bad it needed surgery?

  4. Sadly this is the kind of injury that might ruin his chance in the NHL. He’s gonna miss camp, so he will not have a chance to show that he deserves a spot. Meanwhile, new rookies are getting close to NHL and will take his spot.

    It’s the sad thing about beeing a 7th round pick. They will give you less opportunity than a first round pick.

  5. It’s over for RHP, he needed a good camp and start of the season to cement his spot in the line up. Another player is gonna take his spot now. When he does comeback, he most probably will be in and out of the line up as an 13-14th forward

  6. This is bad. Not good optics for RHP. 4 months out.

    Tells me he’s out into contention for the other upcomers like Farrell, Tuch, or Mesar.

  7. I know this freaking sucks, but at least a broken leg is not the worst injury. It’s going to take time for him to get back, but it’s nothing compared to Dach with his torn ACL & MCL.
    That one is scary…

  8. So no training camp for him…very important season for him and he’s going to have to dislodge someone on the top12 and hop on a moving train…

  9. I dont really care tbh, hes a good 4th line winger we can easily replace with a young prospect

  10. I heard Paul Byron broke his collarbone just from reading about RHP’s injury.

  11. How did he get hurt? I must have missed that. Got hurt mowing the lawn at his parents?

  12. Didn’t Maurice Richard and Serge Savard suffer severe fractures early in their careers? It’s too early to wipe out Arvida’s dreams.
