Are you arguing that injuries aren't one of many reasons as to why a team would lose? That seems rather obtuse.
No, I'm just arguing that they're not always a good reason. A report that a player was playing through something doesn't necessarily mean that it should be seized on as a partial explanation for the loss. He could be exaggerating or making excuses for his performance, his performance might not have been any worse than expected and/or the other team could have just as many (if not more) players who could claim the same thing, but won't until their run finishes.
Kings got off pretty lucky, got their injuries out of the way BEFORE the playoffs so they could come back in time to lose
That's what I was arguing with someone, that the Kings were pretty healthy, but he was counting Anderson and Durzi as injured, even though they came back a week or two before the playoffs started, as well as Fiala, even though he had 6 points in 3 games that the Kings lost all of, anyways. He also counted something having the flu. I'm sure that just about every team has a few players who recently returned from injury or are a little under the weather, though, including the Oilers.
