The Ongoing Ryan Johansen Injury/Illness Thing
Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY SportsMore information coming from this morning's practice. Something is definitely wrong. Or, the is the most elaborate hoax of all time.
So, when Ryan Johansen left Denver on Saturday to return to Columbus with a Blue Jackets' trainer, we all wondered about what might be going on. The club termed it an "illness" but clarified that he was non-contageous enough to take a commercial flight, and John Davidson called it "another curveball" in one of the most dissected non-entity quotes of all time, given Johansen's visible slump in energy combined with rumors that John Tortorella told Johansen he was out of shape.
