UNTIL A TEAM STARTS MISSING PLAYERS LIKE CHRIS PRONGER ,KIETH , AND DOUG WEIGHT AMONG OTHERS PLEASE STOP CRYING ABOUT INJURIES.

Man, is the air really that thin up there? Colorado doesn’t deserve the Avs, they should have never left Quebec.

Maybe if you read the article you would see that there is no whining in it whatsoever, the Canucks have been mostly healthy all year and I'm not complaining about this, unlike some fans would... ahem (flyers, leafs, avs) ahem.

This will only make them stronger in the playoffs, it's good that Ohlund and Cloutier can rest now.

Please don’t whine about injuries. The Bruins have been without Sergei Samsonov for a long time, Sean O’Donnell and Hal Gill have been out as well. Sometimes it looks as if the team that can stay healthy makes it to the playoffs, not necessarily the team with the best players. Like someone said, talk about injuries when players start missing 20-40 games or so – that is when it hurts.

Funny how Leaf fans will whine like bitches when Jeremy Roenick puts a clean hit on Robert Svehla but then they say things like this...

Marchment, Tucker, and Leafs fans - perfect dirty hypocrites together.

looks like the Canucks are set to fizzle. Good. The av’s deserve the record.

I am not talking about the previous 5 years, i am talking about this season.

This was the Rangers line up when it had the injuries (not counting Dunham, Mironov)

Barnaby-Holik(mssd 20 gms)-Lindros

Petrovicky-Nedved-Dvorak

Samuelsson-Messier-Lundmark

Donato-Fata-McCarthy

Poti-Bouchard

Malakhov-Kasparaitis

Purinton-Karpa/Cross

Blackburn-Holmqvist

Take out Holmqvist and put in Dunham as 1st goalie. Then take out Karpa and put in Mironov.

Now, this is what the Rangers are now:

Barnaby-Lindros-Kovalev

Petrovicky-Nedved-Bure

(2nd and 3rd line almost share equal ice time)

Lundmark-Holik-Dvorak

LaCouture-Messier-McCarthy

Leetch-Poti

Malakhov-Mironov

Kasparaitis (a +14 since January)-Cross

Marchment should have been kicked out of the game. His team was up 3-0 when he tried the knee on knee. Why even bother doint that?? He just goes out there to cause havoc with Marc Crawford and the Canucks. I'm thinking he was lucky that Bertuzzi was injured. Too bad the Canucks don't play the Sharks again this season. Good job by Langdon for sticking up for his team mates this game, and in the Columbus game when he hammered Richardson in a fight, after Richardson was checking Ohlund with his stick to the ice.

Ohlund being injured is huge for this club. He plays a ton of minutes for the Nucks. It's bad enough that Chubarov and Cloutier are injured. Ohlund and Chubarov are big penalty killers for the team. Too bad for Cloutier because he has been playing his best all season the past two weeks.
