World’s sick, injured travel to see NHL team doctors after they miraculously heal entire rosters in time for playoffs

LAS VEGAS – People with injuries and illnesses that conventional doctors have been unable to hear have begun making medical pilgrimages to see NHL team doctors after hearing how they were able to somehow get their team’s previously injury riddled roster healthy in time for the playoffs.

“My family doctor said my osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia was permanent,” said Ben Hsu. “But then I read how Vegas’ Mark Stone back was so bad that his team had to put him on LTIR for most of the regular season and trade for a bunch of players they could otherwise not have afforded under the Cap, only for the team’s medical staff to make him totally healthy right before Game 1, and I knew there was hope.”

“Remember when Nikita Kuckerov was so injured that he and his cap hit missed the entire regular season but, thanks to the doctors’ brilliance, was somehow healthy enough to lead the entire league in playoff scoring? I’m hoping they can do something like that for my misaligned lumbar discs,” said Randy Wagstaff.

Thousands of chronically ill people have been calling and emailing NHL team doctor’s offices for appointments, hoping that whatever magic they possess at this exact time of year could be theirs.

“One lady offered me 50k to do for her leg what I had done for my players as soon as the Salary Cap no longer applied. I wanted to tell her, but it seemed easier to just take the appointment,” said one doctor who wished to remain anonymous.

“Is it something to do with the weather getting nice that makes their work better? Or maybe they just focus more right before playoffs? Because if you look at the stats in the weeks before the trading deadline, NHL doctors absolutely suck at getting people healthy,” wondered Wagstaff.

In related news mathematicians the world over were gathering to try to understand how a team can simultaneously have a firm limit of 82.5 million to spend on players and have a playoff roster that costs about 90 million.

Oh yea, American ones are so so bad. lol

Maybe i'm just spoiled with Shorty all these years, but i find Singh super vague and sometimes he just completely stops talking, skipping entire plays, or only picking things back up at the end of the play (like his brain is still catching up to what happened). If you had to get up from your seat or look away from the TV for a moment, you'll have no idea what's happening just listening to him. Shorty will actually describe things as they unfold.

There was a thread on reddit recently where even the oilers fans were saying he's bad

He falls behind from time to time, but has been improving. I think he's clear and concise, and generally describes the 'feel' of the action well. Maybe there's a difference in calling in different languages, I don't know

I agree with the above, that Canucks fans have been spoiled with the best announcers in TV and radio. Hughson, Shorthouse, Robson. We've had the best of the Canadian broadcasters in the last 30 years.

Can anyone PM me a you know what, I only have the ESPN crew.....

Demko with a spectacular save!

After canceling cable and not watching a single game all year I couldn't resist and signed up for Sportsnet + or whatever it's called. Man can't believe it's been 9 years since we played in the playoffs with fans.

i believe this is free on gem.cbc.ca

lmao

Some Canucks seem to be playing nervous. Hopefully they get a good Toching to and come out more stable in the 2nd.

LINDHOLMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Cbc gem for all canadian games

Wow what an anemic first period but its looking a lot more normal now in the 2nd!

Special teams are the difference in game 1 so far. We cannot score on our PP.

O'Reilly scores for the Preds.

Stop taking penalties! :facepalm:

JT Miller's passes are spicy

Tired Myers got away with a trip, should be 2 man short handed right now

Quinn Hughes is a megastar

Let's fucking goooooo

Give that man a raise.
