In our series against Denver 3 weeks ago, we had 13 skaters on the ice. We just got Leitner back this last weekend after getting hurt on his first shift of the year. Dorr was out until this last series as were Burkemper and Gaede. Elbrecht was injured in the first game and just was cleared to start practicing this last week (he's got something like 11 screws and 2 steel plates in his arm). Heath and Stern are still out as well. We're still playing a forward on defense. Realistically, it was a huge volume of injuries that were concentrated in a short period of time. Alot of the injuries were ones that it's impossible to know how long the will last. They were separated shoulders, badly broken bones, etc. And now we're finding out that Grant is out for the year and he was supposed to be one of the leading scorers on a team that wasn't going to score a lot of goals in the first place.
Great Post.
Biddco, Bale's got your answer better than most could put it. We couldn't dress a full team for quite some time, and now we are starting to get back healthy, and improving in play.
