Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar on Ilya Kovalchuk: ‘It’s not a great situation’ | TSN
“First of all, it’s — how do you want to call it? — it’s not a great situation,” Anze Kopitar said, per The Athletic. “Kovy is a good guy. There’s nothing that’s wrong with the attitude or anything. He wants to win. He wants to do the best. He’s a really good guy off the ice. Everybody can probably say that about him. It’s just, for whatever reason, it’s not working on the ice.”
Being 36 years old and still trying to play hockey at the highest level will do that to ya, Anze. Eventually the game passes you by.

Report: Penguins’ Crosby has sports hernia, mulling over surgery | Sportsnet
So apparently Crosby delayed having sports hernia surgery because the Penguins were dealing with so many injuries early on (which, by the way, doesn’t seem very smart). He’s now considering having the operation, which would put him out of action for 4 to 6 weeks.
