While I agree that he should have been shut down, how do you know that he didn’t keep this hidden from the staff? I’m sure he has a lot of pride and he more than likely knew that his team needed him putting the puck in the net if they had any shot at making the playoffs. As a pro hockey player he probably didn’t want to let his team down and figured he’d just push through the pain.
Sure, in the big picture he should have taken himself out and got this taken care of earlier but id imagine he really wanted to keep contributing and help his team get into the playoffs
