Was it or was it a slash or net front casualty? But not a tonne.
This season
Shot block: Cole, Rowney
Not shot block: Hunwick, Schultz
Last season
Shot block: Bonino, Cullen's foot, Hornqvist's concussion (maybe, could have been from a goal post). Was Kunitz' lower body from a shot block? Probably Dumoulin's hand and Cole's hand in the playoffs but those could have also been slashes. Hornqvist's hand apparently.
Not shot block: letang's neck, Maatta's hand, Crosby's concussions, Dumoulin's jaw, daley's knee, Schultz's concussion, Schultz's ribs, sheary's eye, sheary taking a puck to the arm, sheary's concussion, Guentzel's concussion, ruhwedel's wrist, Kuhnhackl's groin, Pouliot's knee, Murray's WCoH hand, murray's hamstring, murray's tweaked whatever, Cole's ribs, Hornqvist's other concussion
Malkin had whatever, I can't remember. Hagelin broke his leg somehow, Rust had some assorted things
How many of those are pace related either?
Hags ankle/lower leg was from a shot block I think. I believe both him and Horny attributed their injuries to the puck. In any event, your list is very good. Dumo broke the jaw because he was defending in front of our net. I would consider that a shot block. Malkin injured his shoulder blocking a shot against Wpg. I believe all of the hand injuries we had were from pucks while we were defending in front of the net. That's our style. This list, with some modifications, shows that nearly half our injuries were from shot blocks. It follows that we could seriously reduce the odds of injury and/or cut the injuries in half during the RS if we didn't defend primarily by shot blocking....
