After months of speaking about their injuries in vague generalities and approximate body areas, Penguins players were finally able to get specific Thursday morning at their team locker clean-out.
The result is exactly as you’d expect: This was one injured team by the end of the playoff run.
“We’re a banged-up group right now,” coach Mike Sullivan said. “We had guys playing with broken bones, broken ribs. These guys have such an appetite to win and be a part of it, they’re willing to play through so much.”
Goalie Matt Murray didn’t break any bones, but the injury that kept him out for the first two rounds of the playoffs wasn’t any less painful.
