Big news has broken in the world of hockey in the last few seconds.
The Washington Capitals just announced that their forward Nicklas Backstrom must leave the team urgently to take care of his health and injury.
For Montreal Canadiens fans, this recalls what happened with Paul Byron. Nicklas Backstrom loves hockey and is trying to continue, but his body is failing him.
A sad situation, but one that is out of his control.
Let's remember that last season, several experts suggested that Backstrom's career might be over.
He ultimately returned to play this season, against all odds, but he clearly wasn't himself.
