So much for being worried

For what it's worth, the team says it was a shoulder injury that kept Mathieu out for 8 games, not the hamstring pull initially reported. And according to Mathieu I need not have been worried:

"I’ve done this many times in my career. I know it seems a lot longer, but it hasn’t even been three weeks. That’s just a long All-Star break for me."

Fair enough, it wasn't really a long time. But, dude, you've almost missed as many games than you've played. Can't you spot me something (semi-inconsequential) to worry about. If I don't worry about something, I feel naked (and not in a good way) and I'd prefer to worry about hockey than become totally and overwhelmingly depressed about things that matter.
