I knew about this a while ago, but he didn't want to make it public originally. The Devils knew this to and went after that arm in one of the games. Scumbags.

Played a great series (better stats than Brodeur) considering the broken thumb.

I'm just amazed at how well he played with it, not that he played injured. Usually a player shows signs of his injury, but I disregarded what the press said earlier about his practicing without a stick as speculation.

LOL I was arguing with a buddy about that the other day. We were talking about pitchers' having hangnails and football players having &quot;turf toe&quot;. He was arguing that for those sports, those kind of injuries are serious. My reply &quot;yeah, I know. It just sounds so gay.&quot;
