One of the interesting things about Andy Sutton's disciplinary hearing? It was entered into evidence that Gabriel Landeskog suffered a broken nose. The rookie hasn't missed any games and blamed himself for keeping his head down, but I don't think Sutton was very happy. I had no problem with the suspension, though, because Sutton's history mattered much more than the injury.

Can’t tell if Gabe the Babe really has a broken nose or not. I’m no expert, but don’t you usually/often get black eyes after a broken nose?

Also, if this is true (and Friedman seems like a really accurate reporter), then HOW THE HELL does this go unreported by the local MSM for more than a week?

Black eyes thing happens when injury is serious. I had my nose broken 2 times. First time it was nothing serious and no black eyes. So, we can’t really know. But it’s still remarkable that he was on the ice on the next shift.

Maybe no one wanted to announce it in order to protect him. Douchebags out there would target him more if they knew he was injured.

Anyone know how many points Gabe has scored since the injury?

He has 1 point in 4 games after the Edmonton game, and he had no points against Edmonton. Nine shots on goal in those four games, although he did have 6 shots against Edmonton.

No confirmation from any of the local MSM that he suffered a broken nose. I asked Moser about it via Twitter and he said he hadn’t heard anything about it. But I’ve got no reason to doubt Friedman.
