  1. That’s gutting to hear. One of my all time favourite Preds. Ellis would always give 100% every game sometimes more like that huge save in the playoffs in 2017 against ST Louis.

  2. The business side of hockey makes me so glad we were able to get rid of his contract for Cody Glass, but the personal side of me feels terrible for the guy.

    I wonder if something else physical and/or mental/emotional may be going on with him, because a torn psoas muscle is just a torn hip flexor, and hypothetically speaking, should be able to be fixed with surgery and rehab.
