Details of Kirill Petrov's injury include playing the entire game with a broken foot

Damn, son. Be careful.

We included in today's Bits post a tweet from Arthur Staple noting that Islanders prospect Kirill Petrov had suffered a broken foot and could miss up to two months. This morning, Connecticut Post writer Michael Fornabaio added more details to the injury, one of which will be of note to NHL meme makers and those concerned about the durability and dedication of Russian players.

From Fornabaio's Soundin' Off blog (which you should already be reading anyway):

On Petrov's last shift, in between the last two Hershey goals, he kind of spun awkwardly in front of Bridgeport's bench and — it was the end of the shift — went straight to the bench.
