STrib: Oto Osenieks to undergo knee surgery on Tuesday

[BleedGopher]

per the STrib:

This past winter, Oto Osenieks made the tough decision to leave behind one major facet of his life and begin the next phase.

Positioned directly at the intersection of the past (Osenieks' playing career at Minnesota) and the future (pursuing his second dream, to coach) is surgery on his left knee.

That knee, which has chronically bothered Osenieks, was the cause of his early retirement from playing. The surgery, which Osenieks told the Star Tribune he will have on Tuesday, will hopefully allow him the stability to continue with what's to come.

"I am relieved," Osenieks told the Star Tribune via text. "I just wish they could fix it so I could play."

This sentence really bothers me. First, there's a word for that and it's called the present. Second, you wouldn't be able to have an "intersection" of the past and future, it would be a line.




Third, good luck with surgery Oto!

Good catch. That sentence does rattle my brain a little too when I focus on it.

Oto was our best option at PF for much of last year, and made an important contribution in NYC with Eliason down. Hope all goes well with his surgery today and he becomes a successful coach.

+1 The snarky comments about him and wanting to run him off still p*sses me off, especially when he played after the announcement that he was done. No reason for it on a board supposedly for Gopher fans.

A point on a line.

Was thinking the same......you beat me to it.

Especially the shots by members of the media.
