I don’t know what happened but any tweet someone posts won’t show up and does not link to an actual page when I try and view it. Anyone else having this problem?

Tough loss for an old bubble team to absorb. Wonder if they turn to sellers and move Staal?

It's an issue with CP Style 2a, most likely. Also, Staal would be a very intriguing sell.

Gio made contact with Koivu's left leg. Don't know if this would have affected his right.

He is going to miss more than the rest of the season. At his age, it might be a lot longer.

Knowing the NHL department of player safety I wouldn't rule out a Gio suspension just yet.

Could not have happened to a nicer team.

I hope they panic give up a first for help, then crash and burn.

Minnesota is no good.

Wait, am I missing something? Why is Gio getting suspended again? Or am I mis-reading ?

ACL reconstruction is a big surgery but every injury and recovery is different. There's a chance he's back in six months, most are back by nine, some take twelve or more. It's a big "it depends".

Same. He's my favourite player of theirs to watch. I don't want to see anyone injured, what a bummer.
