Paul Stastny Out


And just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse for the offense of the Colorado Avalanche, Paul Stastny will miss a few weeks. From the Colorado Avalanche:

The Colorado Avalanche Hockey Club announced today that forward Paul Stastny will miss approximately two to three weeks after undergoing surgery this afternoon to remove his appendix.

What are you going to do, right? But still, what’s going to happen next?

“Paul experienced some pain in his abdominal area today,” said Avalanche Head Athletic Trainer Matthew Sokolowski. “Further examination by our medical staff following practice determined he needed the procedure. We expect him to fully recover in two to three weeks.”

There isn’t much you can do, except shrug and carry on. Life still happens, but this is just getting silly. The Avs have lost an entire first line of players at this point, and that isn’t even counting the Leopold injuries that have already happened this season.

Hat tip to Kukla.

  1. Does this make Tyler Arnason our first line center? Or do I not have to hurl myself off a 20-story building? Ugh.

  2. Katie – Get ready to Hurl. And it’s not like Arnason has been in that much lately. Just back from injuries is a lot better than not back from injuries, but still, we need our hockey players playing.
