Ducks are cursed with so many injuries.

[Ducks in a row]

Lindholm,Vatanen,Kesler,Miller yet to play a game because of injury.
Getzlaf,Eaves,Ritchie and Kase have all missed multiple games from injury during the season.
Fowler got hurt in tonight's game against Montreal.

So many injuries that I feel we are cursed this season.

Can you think of a team that has had so many injuries especially key injuries so early in a season?

There aren’t enough cuss words to properly describe this feeling.

For those keeping track, that’s our top two centers, our top three defensemen, our number two goaltender, and a couple of players who play in our top six.

This is not an NHL team right now.

I’m just thankful that tonight we aren’t playing an NHL team. Sorry Montreal fans.

you guys are finding ways to win though.

Early in the season? No.

The Lightning prefer to get injured right before or during the playoffs.

 

[Josepho]

Trust me, better to get 'em outta the way early.

Oh, that’s the best time.

Not sure if it's been quite that bad but the Blues and Wild have been hammered by injuries fairly badly this year as well thus far.

I feel like smashing things but I won't.

Pittsburgh have been surprisingly healthy this year so far.

When you play physical/goony hockey, you are going to have a lot more injuries. Not too surprising. Teams that play less physical styles like the Blackhawks have a lot fewer injuries every year. Not a coincidence.

It is an amazing amount of injuries in key areas.

Interesting narrative.

And you also know exactly what the injuries are, right?

 

[Del Preston]

You could put together a pretty good base for a team with just their injuries so far. I believe Gibson was also hurt this season, or left a game anyway.

[Sojourn]

He was, yeah. Took a shot off the hand in warm ups, I believe. Got yanked after the first period of a game, and missed the next.

Here, take this sympathy from a Sharks fan.

 

[nowhereman]

As a Canucks fan, no teams' fanbase will ever receive any sympathy from me when it comes to injuries.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Stop derailing this thread. You know who you are.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

So the Ducks are the Jets but with actual coaching?

 

[Legionnaire]

Their doctors are quacks?

 

[Machinehead]

Rangers fans can't relate.

We usually have a bunch of guys we wish weren't playing.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

You still have Manson and Montour on the blue line.

Blessed!

As I recall, Dallas had 6 of their top 9 forwards out for the first couple of months last season - we all saw how that turned out. Luckily for the Ducks they have better goaltending, so maybe their season won't be completely torpedoed right from the start.

Glad I wasn't drinking milk when I read that, or it would be coming out my nose MH!

Luckily I have found a more than suitable substitute... Also dulls the pain my Sabres are causing me currently.

Anaheim is top 3-5 drafting teams in the NHL behind Tampa Bay , and few others . They've had 19 mainstay NHLers since 2008 and have more NHL quality prospects still in the ranks. Very impressive , especially 2011. They will be fine they have so many players who hadn't been given the opportunity and I see them taking full responsibility and performing . They'll be fine
