Esposito out of Super Series with injury

[skid.row]

I dont know if this has been posted or not, but NHL.com is reposting that Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Angelo Esposito has been ruled out of the eight-game Canada/Russia Super Series with a groin injury.

Damn it, i was really looking forward to seeing him play as i own him in several of my keeper leagues. Hopefully the injury is nothing serious.

Well that\'s really too bad I must admit. I was hoping to see the kid in action again.

do we start rumors here?

-Already with groin problems? The next Havlat/Gaborik ?

-Chances for Esposito to play with Pittsburgh went from 10% to 1%. If he\'s going to miss the summit series, I don\'t see him being fully healthy for the Pens training camp.

It might not be a bad injury, but this puts him back a little to be a star in the NHL.

bad timing that\'s for sure and as mentioned it starts the band aid rumors.maybe there is more to the picture than meets the eye.lots of pressure on these kids as they strive to hit the big leagues.
