James Neal was injured during a wiffle ball game (update: maybe)

Was told by source #Penguins James Neal's injury is something similar to strained oblique. Suffered it when Pens played whiffle ball on ice.

Just heard from someone else that Neal indeed hurt himself playing wiffle ball.

... probably because he's good at swinging and missing.

*obligatory note that this is just a joke and  we don't wish injury on anybody, even if said person likes to head hunt the star player of their biggest rival*

Okay, ruining the fun ....

It wasn't whiffle ball. That is all. Back to reporting I go. #pens
