I'll defer to them versus random message board user googling "fractured fibula" to complain about not shutting players down earlier based on whatever biased criteria they've concocted in their own mind.

"Athlete's play through injuries. that's it" - Kind of my entire grievance
You're more than welcome to defer to whomever you want, but you shouldn't be shocked to hear that some of us don't give unfettered deference to a Billon dollar industry with a storied history of putting the health of it's employees at risk for the sake of it's bottom line, and this most recent incident doesn't reflect any more favorably (for me at least) on the particular team that Monahan so expertly "hid" his incredibly obvious injuries from.
Edit: pretty sure this same board has almost unanimous support for the "Conspiracy" that teams have/continue to abuse LTIR to keep players out longer than they actually need to be to game the Salary Cap for the playoffs. So they're willing to lie to keep them out of the lineup but they'd never clear a player who shouldn't play because the player/team want them in the lineup?
