Joffrey Lupul stirred up everyone by making comments on social media claiming that the Leafs cheat when it comes to players failing physicals. He has since deleted those comments.

The truth is, you and I are not entitled to any player’s medical records. We aren’t entitled to a plain-language summary of a player’s medical status either. For all we all make jokes about the ubiquitous “upper body injury”, we aren’t even entitled to that. You can be offended at Mike Babcock’s joke about Nikita Zaitsev’s “middle body injury” while he was waiting for the announcement that Zaitsev’s wife had given birth — some people were — or you can realize that both the man, the baby and the baby’s mother are entitled to as much privacy as they want.
