Don't Trade Vinny Out 3 to 4 Weeks After Breaking Hand

"I lost another follower?!"
Tampa Bay Lightning blogger Don't Trade Vinny broke his right hand during Thursday’s game against the Washington Capitals and will be sidelined from three to four weeks.

DTV, who has 72 blog posts and 611 followers on Twitter after 10 months, was hurt early in the second period. He retreated to the bathroom and then to the bedroom, but came back to the game thread.

He didn’t come out of the game thread until after the second period, when he slammed his fist in anger after Mike "Grassy" Knuble broke a 1-1 tie, and then slammed it again harder upon finding out Vinny Lecavalier was hurt. Lightning coach Guy Boucher said DTV typed until he could no longer grip his mouse.

The break occurred in the lower portion of the hand, near the knuckle of the pinky finger. Boucher did not know whether the fracture would require surgery.

DTV missed a game earlier this season with soreness in the hand.

  2. OT but:
    take a look at this link http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8474085

    apparently, johan harju switched national teams from sweden to slovakia, quite amazing actually...

    on topic, having a sore hand usually means you're using it too hard, try switching to the left hand occasionally. it will be a totally new experience, and your right hand soreness won't be so bad in the long run... ;-)
