anon who made the stupid joke and now heartily regrets it
That was sort of the point of the joke? It's the quintessential hockey player injury that coincidentally happened after he joined the Pens, so it's a little silly (in the sense of funny but also in the sense of absolutely without credibility because it's obviously a total coincidence and not a serious or rare occurrence?) to suggest it's the result of a "curse"? Just like the other examples mentioned of Despres' and Sutter's injuries right after leaving the Pens happening because of a "reverse curse"? I understand if people didn't find my dumb humor funny, but I didn't think it merited a response that was very serious and kind of hostile, and that also seemed to miss the point completely.
