Sunday night the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley cup in 6 games against the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
We well know that hockey players play through some pretty extreme injuries during the playoffs for a chance to try and win the cup, but some of the injuries we've heard of this year has been insane.
We saw the list of Tampa Bay Lightning players injuries the other day and they were bad, well, the Colorado Avalanche lineup is almost just as bad!
Today the Avalanche released their list of injuries from the cup run:
During the Stanley Cup playoffs, Bednar says Darcy Kuemper had to go to optometrist 2-3 times a day to "re-train his eye".
Other injuries:
Val Nishuchkin - broken foot
Andre Burakovsky - broken foot/thumb
Nazem Kadri - broken thumb
Samuel Girard - broken sternum
Darren Helm - abdominal tear All of these players were vital to the Avalanche's playoff run and to see what they played through is inspiring ... and also insane!
