Injuries to the knee for an athlete are quite scary, and when you are a prospect looking to fulfill NHL aspirations like the Kings' Brian Boyle, it is almost as if your life is flashing before your eyes when the knee gives-out.
Boyle suffered a Grade 2 sprain of his Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) on his right knee in a game for Manchester on April 5th. The MCL is one of four ligaments that stabilize the knee joint. It spans the distance from the end of the thigh bone (femur) to the top of the shin bone (tibia). This is the same injury (Grade 2 sprain) that kept Detroit's Johan Franzen out of the Wings' lineup for three weeks back in October.
Thankfully, the prognosis for Boyle's recovery is a positive one, and today he spent a few minutes discussing the injury, his recovery and his future with the Kings.
