Yeah, knee problems for Bure, Hip problems for Gaborik. Latent injuries are the unfortunate side effect of their game. As if the standard NHL contact wasn't bad enough, all their collisions between players and boards are magnified because these type of players play at an even more exponential speed than their NHL counterparts. It's different when one is young. It's easier to handle anything. But once you age, the latent stuff begins to show.
Here's an example of Hossa. If it were any other guy, the front flip wouldn't have been as pronounced.
