There’s the standard playoff injuries that always happen this time of year. Oh, one player had a dislocated finger, another was trying to play with a strained tendon on his ankle — and while those might not be the best to play through, a punctured lung while playing playoff hockey might be one of the worst I have ever heard.
According to Matt Dumba, during his last media availability before the off-season, he was doing exactly that — among other serious injuries.
In Nashville in first meeting last month, Dumba sustained a dislocated rib, a broken rib and that caused a punctured lung.
