More Islanders Injuries Revealed: Okposo's eye redux, Nielsen's ankle. Nelson to Worlds.

Wanna know how I got these scars?

Day two of the Islanders exit interviews brought forth more once confidential injury information, via Arthur Staple of Newsday. Staple specifically mentioned two guys who caused a lot of "Does he look hurt to you?" chatter among the fans over the last section of the season.

Kyle Okposo missed a month after the All Star break with the gruesome-sounding detached retina. But it wasn't that simple; Okposo actually doubled down on surgery on the same eye because of an infection prior to his return to the ice.
