Speculation is groin strain.

The only surprise is that it's not hi asss-grabbing muscle.

Well-played, sir!

If it is a groin injury and he isn't careful, this could turn into a nagging situation that plagues him for the season.  I'd almost rather he had sliced his finger again.

Oh FFS! 15 minutes in? Really? Did he follow the Kessel Summer Training Program^tm or what???

I agree with the earlier post - sounds like it's a conditioning issue.  You don't have to look far for what to do to prevent a groin pull/strain:

 

What can be done to prevent groin strains?
Competitive athletes who participate in soccer, ice hockey, or similar sports that are prone to groin injuries should focus some energy on groin injury prevention. Exactly what exercises and stretches are most important in still being worked out, but some suggestions for groin injury prevention include:

• Adductor stretching
• Hip adductor and abductor strengthening
• Pelvic stabilization exercises
• Core stability, including abdominal and lumbar strengthening

Together, these exercises and stretches can help control the movements of the hip and pelvis, and hopefully prevent many groin strains.

 

Come on, Claude!  You're killing me.

Maybe playing with Jagr rubbed off on him?

and so it begins....... (rolling my eyes)

[Mad Dog]

Oh God...    Here we go again...  Why do I have a feeling we are in for another long and frustrating season with this team?

@brelic

By the looks of things, he does not have a summer training program....

Because this crap ALWAYS happens to this team......... I swear to god this is getting old.

 Yeah....and we don't even get the smoking hot red head!

[OccamsRazor]

Yes we don't need it turning into a hernia. Let him rest they need him for the long haul can't afford him going out and back into the lineup all season. Give him rest it's the most grueling season of all sports bar none!!!!!!! October till June!

Here is a photo of Tawny Kitaen from 3 yrs ago....she still looks good!

Two training camps in a row. Kinda silly, no?

Well there is the out now for why it will take him a month to get out of the early season slump......just sayin.  Last year it was his hand and a bunch of us were ready to crucify him for that brutal start.  Well if this groin does not heal properly, we are lookin' at the same type of start.  Which means it will be a brutal first 15 games again.  Can you say groundhog day part 2.

[jammer2]

@pilldoc  Yeah, she does still look good. Little bit of plastic surgery etc....but what the hell, that video was made quite a long time ago!  She caused more woodies than Porky's.....ha ha!

[jammer2]

@pilldoc  I'm wondering out loud, if he was a work out fanatic, would he be hurt right now. Is that asking to much, that your 8 mill a year superstar is ripped and ready to go....this guy looks like he's more interested in partying than winning. He's not fat by any means, but he's not ripped with abs either. Little less ass grabbing, little more time in the gym!!

You mean like.....this?    Cornhole is exercise, no?

 

[jammer2]

@B21  Um, we'll let the Pens handle the cornhole side of things.....NTTAWWT.

[doom88]

At least he wasn't on Ovechkin's party boat.

[radoran]

Well, now we have the "reason" he "had" a slow start. Again.

 

Or something.

Totally agree with this, but part of me thinks that he did too much resting during the off-season.  I mean, even a little something in terms of exercise or workouts prior to this week and maybe this could have been prevented.  Especially after seeing those pictures of him posted above.  Cripes, he looks like me for God's sake and I'm definitely no professional athlete!
