Blues defenseman Erik Johnson injured his right knee in a golf-related incident on Wednesday and will miss the start of training camp, which begins Friday.
He will be re-evaluated before Tuesday's preseason game against Dallas, according to team president John Davidson.
"This is a hard one to believe, but it's the God's honest truth . . . he was playing golf and he pulled the golf cart up to where his ball was," Davidson said. "And he took his left leg and put it on the ground and the right leg, he sort of reached back and put it on the brake. A lot of us do it . . . I do it all the time myself. As he pushed the brake, he missed a little bit, his leg got caught under there and he slipped and that wrenched his knee.
". . . There's swelling there. We're not going to speculate on this thing because we don't know. And we're going to have everything hopefully cleared up by Tuesday as to what it is and if there's a length of time or not."
I guess I should be happy his leg dosn't need to be amputated.
Still, I liked this response from a reader over at STL Today:
Was he playing golf with Vince Coleman?
