If you're an exclusively offensive player and cant produce because you're injured, you're not getting any brownie points. Get off the ice.

Look at that pathetic effort to backcheck by AO. He has a fractured foot? Great, put out someone who doesnt and can backcheck. That cost them the game. Series went to 7 and they lost.

Sometimes 'gutting it out' is the wrong decision. By both player and coach.
