Glad to hear there was little to no soft tissue damage. Yeah, I doubt this season is going to be worth rushing his recovery. At least it won't impact his offseason and he'll be ready for next year.
From the way he went down, it looked like he could have completely destroyed his knee joint, a potentially career-ending injury.
Fortunately it was only fractures. That is fantastic news, bone being the only tissue in the body that heals with stronger, higher-grade material than the original.
That he didn't tear his anterior or posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament or medial meniscus is an absolute miracle. Everyone in Tampa Bay and the hockey world should be celebrating that until he makes his triumphant return next season. (No matter how deep we might go in this year's postseason, assuming we even make it to the show...why bring him back right away. If we've miraculously made it to the Final without him, there'd be no point in upsetting the chemistry that got us there IMHO.)
