Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson will need surgery to repair his left Achilles after the tendon was cut by a skate blade late in the second period Wednesday night against Pittsburgh.
You NEVER see these kind of injuries anywhere else. Athletes tear that tendon all the time as it comes loose from one of the attachment points, but having it SEVERED? This is going to take some time to heal and quite a bit of work by skilled surgeons to fix.
I may not like hockey much, but I sure respect the athleticism of the guys who play it. What a devastating injury.
