Mark Stone's wife, Hayley Thompson, was spotted posing with a fan wearing a jersey bearing the number 61 and the letters "LTIR," alluding to Stone's history with LTIR (Long-Term Injured Reserve).
The photo, originally shared by the user @German_Diver, quickly gained attention on social media, with the BR OpenIce page also sharing it.
The posts collectively garnered over half a million views, reigniting skepticism about Stone's frequent use of LTIR, especially just before trade deadlines, only to return for the playoffs. NHL insider Frank Seravalli humorously compared the timing to a high-end watch.
