Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Injuries

Next time you're wondering why your hot shot hockey player suddenly doesn't seem himself, consider how much is NOT said about injuries during playoffs.

From the Baby Pens' beat reporter, here's the list of injuries to that team now that they're out of the playoffs:

Adam Berkhoel (goalie)-- had to have his knee drained six times during the Hershey series; scheduled for surgery tomorrow
John Curry (goalie) -- injured knee in Game 5 vs. Bridgeport; tried to take painkillers to get through Hershey series but couldn't go
Tim Wallace -- broken collarbone
Janne Pesonen -- broken bone in his hand
Andy Wozniewski -- broken foot
Joey Mormina -- high-ankle sprain; didn't miss a game
Aaron Boogaard -- probably needs shoulder surgery
Dustin Jeffrey, Connor James, Bill Thomas -- knee injuries
Joey Haddad -- had knee surgery
Paul Bissonnette -- had wrist surgery

Crazy, these hockey players, and don't you love 'em for gutting it out?
