Maybe the reason their conditioning sucks is they keep skipping practices for therapy days.
It's a big circle.

I think for me the big difference this time around is looking at a guy like Farrell who I think is fairly similar to the Scherbak/Andrighetto/Hudon tier. A couple of years ago there was some hype around him after his big sophomore year and he was getting pencilled into all the "2 years from now" lineups, there were discussions about if we could make room for him with other small forwards like Caufield and Gallagher because he was seen as having an inside shot at becoming a middle sixer for us.I know!
it's just PTSD, it'll pass someday
but i'm telling you this future core of Scherbak, Andrighetto, Carr, Hudon and De La Rose will cause a lot of headaches to other teams

Only Price is on IR. RHP and Laine are on LTIR. Reinbacher is on SOIR which means his cap isn't counted on the Habs.6 game in 6 guys on IR 25% of the team + Price
Guhle
Slaf
Laine
RHP
Barron
Reinbacher
+ these 4 needed days off/missed games
Struble
Matheson
Armia
Dvorak
Total 20 guys that's half the team
Are the Habs leading the league in missed games again?
Mystery solved
In all honesty, i think the lack of structure and system is big part of these injuries
Defenseman and forwards are exhausting themselves defending, then taking big hits just trying to clear a puck, add in the blocked shots.
It has to take its toll
Damnit. I was the first to make gypsy curse jokes and none of you laughed! I’m totally bummed.Those dang gypsies can sure hold on to a grudge.

Maybe, but I personally don't see a lot of evidence of that.
Barron got hurt because he fumbled an easy Ozone pass and tried to recover while Trouba was intent on punishing him.
Laine got hurt while trying to carry the puck over the blue line.
Guhle got hurt after dumping the puck in the Ozone, and once again, didn't brace himself for an incoming check.
Reinbacher should have easily been able to take that check without a season ending injury.
Slaf/Math I don't think we know totally what happened.
