Sports hernia is actually an oblique tear, I believe.

You have a bad feeling in the pit of your stomach. Sorry. This is a fractured idiom that just drives me nuts. Probably largely because Anthony Gargano, purportedly a professional writer, uses it all the time.

Conversation came up the other day about Renberg's sports hernia in 1995-96 that negatively affected the rest of his career. I forgot that when he had sports hernia surgery in 1995 preseason, he was back in the lineup (opening night in Montreal) just 10 days post-op! Then when he tore it again in December, he suffered a complete muscle separation from the pubic bone and still played that way -- poorly -- for an entire month until the pain was finally too much take in the first game back from the All-Star break.

For the rest of the season and post-season, when he did play, they numbed the lower half of his body with a gigantic needle injected somewhere too cringe-worthy to even describe.

He never had the same skating jump again, even after post-season surgery and so-called "complete healing". If he had sat out the 6-8 weeks in the first place during the preseason, he may never have had the second, complete tear.

At any rate, the thought of sports hernia surgery being a 10-day injury would seem utterly impossible just seven years later. Back then, no one made a big deal out of just how much Renberg rushed -- with team approval -- to play in October.

Oh, get over it. It's the same thing, for all intensive purposes.

Didn't Briere have sports hernia issues his first season here? Or was that a simple groin pull? I thought he was done.

I mean come on, it's the spitting image of the proper phrase. Of course, here come the grammar police calvary to rain in our fun.

Rennie ended up having an OK NHL career, when he was on track for an excellent one through his first 2 1/2 seasons. After that, he had an endless series of major injuries. Sometimes, talent and hard work aren't enough. Takes some sheer good luck to avoid injuries, too.

I hear you, but nonetheless, his knowledge of hockey personnel and talent is quite extensive.

I actually think McGuire might make a decent GM if not director of amateur scouting for a team.

No doubt. What will help them settle down is a big O push against a weaker 4th line...

Read - Schenn - Simmonds >>> Carter - Gionta - Bernier

Kinda unfair, really, IMHO. The Flyers 4th line could be a big difference maker tonight.

- dcflyerfan71


Not so sure about that. On paper maybe, but that Devils 4th line is a solid bunch. They provide energy and physicality and have been providing offense.

Walkom is nowhere as bad as Lee. There has never, ever been a referee in any sport, that is as bad as Chris Lee.
- hscesq


Dave Jackson and Stephane Auger. Right there are two in the NHL. Maybe Lee likes to go ticky - tack and over control a game, but Jackson and Auger just plain get poop wrong. Two worst officials in the league.
