by Adam GretzFiled under: Penguins, NHL InjuriesIt's not quite a "nearly catastrophic testicle injury," but Penguins defenseman Sergei Gonchar had his own set of problems during the Stanley Cup playoffs. After being involved in a knee-to-knee collision with Washington's Alex Ovechkin in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Penguins' No. 1 defenseman suffered a partially torn MCL that sidelined him for just two games. Had the same injury occurred in, say, November, it probably would have kept him out of the lineup for a couple of months. It's the second major injury of the season for the 35-year-old Gonchar, as he missed the first four-and-a-half months of the season due to a shoulder injury suffered in a preseason game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.Gonchar Had Partially Torn MCL originally appeared on Fanhouse NHL Blog on Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:00:00 EDT .

He could've taken somewhere around $80M from Edmonton to...
