Seriously the guys have been dropping faster than a classroom full snotty-nosed kids with H1N1.
What is going on this season?
And it's not just a bunch of fourth-line guys taking a few nights off after breaking their first on someone's face.
This is top line guys. And a lot of them are on IR, and "out indefinitely".
Evgeni Malkin, Marc Savard, Milan Lucic, Jonathan Toews, Jason Spezza, Sergei Gonchar, Alex Ovechkin, Daniel Briere, Simon Gagne, Eric Staal, Andrei Markov, Daniel Sedin, Roberto Luongo, Marion Hossa....
Just take a look at the injury report. You have to scroll down forever. It's ridiculous. The only team that hasn't been touched by injuries are the Calgary Flames. Then there's teams like, the Vancouver Canucks or Colorado Avalanche who have SEVEN guys out.
Not including the healthy Calgary Flames, the other 29 teams have an average of 3.5 guys sitting out.
How are these guys getting injured? Has something changed in the way guys are playing? Did they not do enough in off-season? Is this just fluke? Was it this bad last year and I'm just high on Clif bars and energy drinks? Are the injury gods punishing the NHL for being dummies about the Phoenix Coyotes and the 2014 Olympics?
Someone sacrifice Sean Avery to the Hockey Gods so we can get an answer.
