There has been a lot of discussion in the hockey world today about how John Gibson’s history of injuries and historical concerns about durability are a big question mark heading into the Anaheim Ducks round 1 playoff series against the San Jose Sharks.
Before this season, those arguments would have held water. Gibson had not played more than 52 games in a season in his career; with most of those lost games coming from primarily groin injuries.
Now, with Gibson having missed the final 3 games of the regular season due to injury and the playoffs fast approaching, those cries of the Ducks number one netminder being fragile have risen back to the surface among waves of playoff preview articles.
