There’s a word we don’t dare mention. Kind of like when a pitcher in baseball is throwing a no-h***er. Or a goalie in hockey is posting a sh**out.
The word I’m referring to? It starts with an ‘i’ and ends with an ‘s’ with six letters sandwiched in between.
Yes…injuries.
Why am I bringing it up? I guess it was the news that Casey DeSmith was being evaluated for an upper-body injury.
Save for Teddy Blueger sitting out the first month of the season and a handful of short-term absences, our Penguins have been remarkably injury free thus far.
