Alex Ovechkin is back in the team hotel. Walking on his own, no crutches, but limping. Team doctor says it's "better than expected" #Caps
So much for karma.

Acl's don't take as long to heal for hockey as they do for football.

Hell, even in football, you aren't even looking at 12 months anymore.

It's kind of a weird thing in football. Like, AD (Adrian Peterson) came back in around 8 months or so and literally almost the best season for a running back ever and then RG3 came back a little bit sooner and obviously wasn't fully healthy at all.

RG3 tore his ACL, LCL and MCL. I thought AD just tore his ACL?

you can walk with a torn ACL, so it's not surprising to see him walking around.

IIHF suspends the German who hit OvenChicken even though they agree it wasn't intent to injure. in other words, "OMG!!!! don't you know who you hit?????"
