The One Injury That Would Devastate Your Team

[Twisted Blue]

Shattenkirk left the game with lower body injury. PP went to crap and Pietrangelo can't play 30+ minutes a game. Elliot/Schwartz would also really hurt the Blues.

 

[Coldplay619]

Backstrom for the Caps.

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

_________ season ending early would definitely hurt the __________ chances.

*Insert starting goalie and team name into blanks.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

The Blues were 1-5-1 when Jaden Schwartz was out.

I'd probably lean towards Alex Pietrangelo being the true answer but the results show that were LOST without Schwartz. Without Pietrangelo, though, we'd be in bad shape too.

 

[Sheva7]

Halak

 

[leafsgirl12]

i would say Rielly or JVR both have been playing very good though this losing streak and both play with heart and are dedicated. Rielly has been the leafs best dman lately so if he got hurt that would be awful.

 

[Proust*]

A fused urethra to Erik Condra.

 

[ottawa]

Habs with Price = top 5 in the East
Habs without Price = bottom 5 in the East

 

[Addison Rae]

Henrik Sedin

 

[Mike Liut]

Perhaps Brian Elliott. Jake Allen has been just average this season and we have no one else in the system who's played an NHL game.

Since the Blues are a system team, losing any of the following for significant time would be bad:

Backes
Schwartz
Tarasenko
Steen
Pietrangelo
Shattenkirk

Allen has been real good this year with the exceptions of about 2 starts when the team was playing horrible in front of him. The team had about a 5 game stretch where they were bad.

 

[Viqsi]

Johnson, as in Jack Johnson? Interesting..

The problem with JJ is that he can be "injured" mentally as well as physically. When he's off his game, you can see why he's got a less than happy reputation. When he's on... just get out of the way, it's safer.

I'm convinced that if ever we win the Cup and he's still on the roster and on his game, he'd win the Conn Smythe by a landslide.

Andy Greene

 

[RSeen]

Greene

 

[Wild11MN]

Would have said Suter last year. Now it's easily Parise. Dude is playing at an elite level right now.

 

[JCLiponfanboy*]

Jay Harrison

 

[The Nuge]

Boyd Gordon. The difficulty of his minutes is insane

 

[member 116861]

Erik Johnson.

Oh crap.

 

[Inapt]

Halak

halak would literally end us. We'd be lucky to make the playoffs.

 

[Russian Factor]

well I would name names but this ****ing team is cursed enough

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Elliott and Schwartz

 

[Mike Liut]

Pietrangelo
Shattenkirk


Steen
Tarasenko
Schwartz
Elliott
Backes
Oshie
JBo
Stastny

That's how's I rank them for priority.

 

[1989]

Boyd Gordon. The difficulty of his minutes is insane

No slight to Gordon, but it's not like his efforts will lift Edmonton from a bottom-3 placement this year. One might almost think Katz/Lowe/MacTavish would want Gordon to be injured to guarantee the 1st overall.

 

[Fighter]

Getzlaf.

 

[AstroDan]

Vlasic would be a bigger hit.

LHD
Dillon
Irwin
Hannan


Horrible.

What I thought too
Vlasic, then Thornton

 

[Dabeast]
