Devils star Jack Hughes out 8 weeks after crazy freak accident

[Big Guava]

Apparently Hughes had a piece of glass pierced his hand at a team dinner and had to have surgery on a finger that will keep him out about 8 weeks...

Guess the Sabres aren't the only team dealing with weird injuries...

At least Norris had his injury happen on the ice!

Bad news for him.   Real good player.   Wonder if this will impact his Olympic participation?

It’s not expected to. To my knowledge, the handful of expected Team USA players that are injured should all be back in time. Matthew Tkachuk is the biggest maybe.

Hughes isn’t the only “freak” injury, Luostaren injured himself during a barbecue as well.

From reading the article (which reads like it’s AI generated?), it sounds like there’s hope he’ll return sooner. Great player. I wish him well.

Leads me to wonder if these guys were “over-served” at these team meals.

Possibly, although I've had a glass shatter just sitting on the table.. sometimes strange stuff just happens.

Hughes is hooking up with Tate McRae. He’s in no rush to hurry back

I had to look up who that was.

I never really followed social news, wives and girlfriends, pop culture, etc.  But lately when I see names of what celebrity is dating what celebrity, it seems like I have to look up who they are 80% of the time if not more.

Yea I had to ask my wife if I was supposed to know who Tate McRea is. She didn’t know either. Seems like I got old overnight.

The NHLPA is going to ask for personal chefs for each player in the next CBA
