Another Stupid Injury

Categorized | NHL

Posted on 10 December 2008 by Justin

On the heels of Derrick Rose sitting on a knife in bed and Plaxico Burress misplacing a bullet in his leg, comes this story from Denver:

Colorado Avalanche captain Joe Sakic, already sidelined by back problems, has broken three fingers in a snow blower accident and will be out at least three months.
Â Â Â The Avalanche say Sakic underwent surgery Tuesday night for the broken fingers and tendon damage. The team says he’s expected to make a full recovery.
Â Â Â The snow blower accident occurred at Sakic’s home Tuesday afternoon, but the team hasn’t given any details.
Â Â Â Sakic is being treated for a herniated disc, which was expected to keep him out until mid-January.

This is why NHL teams sign goons to protect their stars. Why isn’t Ian Laperrierre clearing Sakic’s driveway and cleaning the leaves out of his gutter?

I wonder what he did?

Maybe this is why my parents never let me use the snow blower
