As has been reported to death by now, Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa has come down with a nasty case of the "upper bodies", succumbing to the plague that has claimed so many before him in the NHL. However, the exact nature of the hit which landed him in the dressing room during Wednesday night's third period against the Los Angeles Kings has been woefully undershown. The reason? It's either that there is no footage that captures it at a good-enough angle, or, what I've been telling myself, the footage that is available makes King Jarret Stoll look like Jerry "The King" Lawler delivering an armbar takedown on Maid Marian, himself (couldn't think of a better wrestling gimmick for a dude named Marian).

As per head coach Joel Quenneville's comments, Hossa will be out several weeks, which can only be considered a huge blow to the Blackhawks with Hossa actually living up to his potential as a point-per-game player (11 points in 11 games) in this season's early going. Now, if only he got healthy and started living up to the expectations of his insane 12-year contract. By the time it's over, he may very well be going through menopause.
