Yeah it looked pretty bad last night. If it required immediate surgery it was probably very severe.

 

[Marvie_3]

No

Fiala out for the rest of the playoffs, broken femur.

Not surprising given the way he hit the boards. :/

ALRIGHT it's Pens/Caps night everyone. Bottom of my heart I hope for a decisive Pens sweep but we all know that won't be the case.

Pens are 8-1 all time versus the Caps in playoff series.

Every time the Pens won the Cup (4 times), they've beat the Caps in a series and lost the first game of the series. When Pens won in '92 & '09, Caps jumped out to a 2-0 series lead.

I've broken my femur, it's about as painful as it gets.

This is from one of the producers at my station here in STL. Take it as you will, but if true, fuck man.

My insider nursing source tells me Kevin Fiala's playing career is most likely done which would be a damn shame

I'll wait to see what the Nashville doctors have to say. It's not even been 24 hours after his successful surgery.

There have been a few players (like Chris DiDomenico) who have gone on to have decent careers in hockey after a broken femur but the 'explosiveness' in Fiala's skating will probably never be the exact same as it was before

What a fucking travesty if any of this is true.

Although "insider nursing source" sounds quite stupid.

Fiala finally finds a groove after getting juggled between the majors and minors for "reasons" all season long, and then this happens.

It's really a damn shame.

Even Stamkos hasn't been the same since his injury.

Wanted to reiterate, because reddit murdered me, that the tweet isn't confirmation. Just what my coworker at our sports station has gotten from his source. He's obviously not Mr. Famous, and the tweet is doubtable. I just trust him enough to put it out there.

My kidney stones say hi

 

[Calamari41]

Imagine falling and breaking your femur while passing kidney stones

 

[Smiley90]

NOOOOOOOOOO Fiala

Okay before I was just mildly pro-Perds, now I'm firmly on the "fuck St Louis" bandwagon with the rest of you. Except Soc&Holiday.

 

[Red_Man]

The Subban trade was stupid then and is stupid now, but it's obvious why Bergevin did it, and it's not just because of Therrien. Doesn't change how idiotic it was.

 

[Reckless Abandon]

It needs to be 7:30 right now. Hell I'll take 7. Anything but 2:42.

edit: Wow that blows about Fiala. Poor kid.

 

[Holiday]

That's awful for Fiala.

Winning the Larsson trade continues to pay dividends for the Oilers.

City officially in bonkers mode.

Winning the lottery 14 times in a row and McDavid not being injured this year continues to pay dividends for the Oilers.

Yeah Hall would have gone scoreless in the playoffs.

I just came back from the upside down world and I can confirm that Hall hasn't scored any playoff games these playoffs, and can confirm that he also poured gasoline on a small child and set him on fire in front of the Edmonton crowd, no lie.

 

[MetatronM]

I have as many career playoff points as Hall.

Finally. The series we all wanted. Pens vs. Caps. In my heart I want our ex-commie friend Ovechkin to win, in my bracket I want the Pens.

 

[Futureman]

Alexander just seems like a mean person. I could never root for a guy like him.

Capitals are the Kremlin.

Something something, Tovarish.

It feels like Vesey is always there to almost finish off a golden chance.


King Henrik is still here, it seems.

[Sanjuro]

I wish I could have a goaltender this beautiful.

Leafs legend Michael Grabner almost made it 1-0.

He got close

Too many men.. so undisciplined.

Obviously the puck handcuffed Stone but that's one of those "great saves" where I'm like really? Goalie rolled over and the puck hit him because the shot was duffed? Yeah sure fire up the HOTN machine 🙄

It feels weird playing against Brass. I don't like it.

I don't blame you, it IS pretty great to look at pure beauty all the time

He played well for us but we need to shut him down now.
