Heard about Hossa's allergic rash to equipment last season. Source said it could end his career, but I didn't believe it. Starting to now.

Just in case you thought the credibility of the NHL couldn't get worse...

He could put up with the allergy when he was making $4 million, but now that his salary drops to $1 million, suddenly its unbearable.

I can't wait to see Luongo be forced into retirement early due to Italian Hand Talking Syndrome.

This is so odd. What is he actually allergic to though?
Cotton? Polyester? Plastic? Bacteria? Velcro?

He is allergic to receiving only a 1 million dollar salary.

It's a horrible disease. It cost him the series winning goal against the Ducks in 2007.

I heard that Brouwer was allergic to the flags on the shoulders of the Flames jerseys. I think it's time his contract is terminated as well.

Make sure to take a look back on this post in 2019 when he makes $1.6M on a $5.3M cap hit.

It's too ridiculous not to be true right? They would have to know that this would be ridiculed and scrutinized till no tomorrow?

This beats out Dustin Penner for the funniest/most ridiculous "injury" I've ever heard of.

He probably does get an uncomfortable rash wearing hockey, but how convenient is it that it comes to this when his salary drops to $1 million per year?

Uncomfortable does not mean career-ending, particularly when you consider how big the cap penalties should be for the Hawks if Hossa were to actually retire. There are many other ways to avoid a rash when playing hockey (different materials, under armor, etc.)

I wonder if players will start declaring career-ending injuries because of old age.

Well that's what I mean. It's ridiculous, they have to know a NHL doctor will check it out. Wasn't Pronger checked out independently?

You just know that they will get away with this.
