Ha. Ha Ha Ha. Ha. Ha.

Add these three to the ever growing injury list

The hysterical laughing keeps me from crying

Brace yourselves, Pens fans. These hard times aren’t getting any better.

The organization this morning announced that Jordan Staal will  be out for 4 to 6 weeks with a knee injury, sustained when he got tangled up with New York Rangers forward Mike Rupp in Friday’s game. The good news, however, is that he doesn’t need any surgery.

Also injured is James Neal. The team leader in goals was hit by a puck late in Saturday’s game against the New Jersey Devils. According to Coach Bylsma, a timetable for the injury will be figured out in the next few days. All that we know is that it will be weeks, not days, before he’s back. Which sucks, considering he was well on his way to going to the All Star this year.

Feel like puking yet? Wait.

Apparently, Craig Adams has re-aggravated an old injury and will be looked at on Monday.

These three are now added to a list that include Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, Dustin Jeffery, and Arron Asham.

The saddest stat? The Pens are on pace for 431 man games lost due to injury. They had 350 lost last season.

Whatever it takes, we walk together.
