In the last few days questions about Chris Kreider being invisible have been answered with the reveal of a hamstring injury. Also coming out today is news that Jesper Fast will be out due to a lingering upper body injury. Playing through injuries in hockey is just what players do. This is nothing new, but does it make sense?
A tough question to answer
Why do players do it? To be fair, we are talking about injuries that we don’t know the extent of their severity. This isn’t someone playing though a concussion. Chris Kreider isn’t 100% and it could be nothing more than soreness.
