“He’s one tough SOB.” Less than 48 hours after learning he had sustained the second stroke of his 35-year-old life, Kris Letang was asking his general manager and head coach if he could skate on Wednesday. The answer was no. For now. ✍️ JoshYohe_PGH
However, Letang’s medical ailments have always been part of his story, and Wednesday they produced another upsetting piece of news for a person who was otherwise blessed with the physical jackpot.
And yet, it’s still a concerning day for the Penguins and for the person who has been their No. 1 defenseman for more than a decade.The Penguins practiced at the Hunt Armory rink in Shadyside on Monday. Letang was in the locker room following practice and appeared in reasonably good spirits.Letang told Stewart that he was having a significant migraine. After consulting with team Dr. Dharmesh Vyas, Stewart told Letang it was best to have tests done immediately at a local hospital.
The mood around the Penguins on Wednesday was predictably somber. Players were informed of Letang’s situation on Tuesday night, following the Penguins’ overtime loss to. Letang himself stood beside Sullivan and shared the news. It was important for Letang that his teammates saw him in good form, looking healthy and eager to get back on the ice soon.
Letang has enthusiastically become more of a team leader in recent years. While he was always a great talent, Letang entered the league at a time when the Penguins had veteran presences such as Sergei Gonchar and Bill Guerin on their roster. Only in the back-to-back Stanley Cup years of 2016 and 2017 did Letang begin to assert his voice in the locker room among his teammates.Pierre-Olivier Joseph
So long as it’s medically reasonable — and all early indications are that it will be — Letang will be back at some point this season.
