I'm Not Sayin', I'm Just Sayin'

On Monday night, the Flyers and Penguins faced off in another Battle of Pennsylvania. Now, as the teams prepare for their respective games tonight, each is faced with at least one noteworthy injury.

First, the Flyers' Mike Rathje:

Defenseman Mike Rathje, bothered by pain in his buttocks... was in Nashville, Tenn., on Tuesday for another shot of Botox that will keep him out of the lineup tonight when the Flyers face the visiting Ottawa Senators.

Now, the Pens' Sidney Crosby:

Pittsburgh Penguins star [and Canadian Diving Team Captain] Sidney Crosby will miss Wednesday night's game against Boston because of a sore groin.

A sore butt and a sore groin - the result of Monday's head-to-head (or so we'd thought) match up. Get well soon, gentlemen.
