At the half way mark, Avs and Leafs lead the league in injuries

[RoyIsALegend]

At the half way mark, Avs and Leafs lead the way in injuries and, more importantly, the value of the players injured out of the lineup.

The Avs play every game with at least 5 guys missing, usually 6-7. Just last night, 7 guys out for their win over Minnesota who complained because they were missing 4 players.

Are you pleased with how healthy your team has been this season?

If not, has your team handled the injuries well and still found ways to be successful?

No, I wish my team was more injured.

But thats nothing compared to the wild. Their injuries are unprecedented! Their announcers told us so last night!

So the Avs are an injury prone team and a likely first round exit in the playoffs. Thank you for the info.

Not true, we regularly make it to the second round thank you very much. Then we get rolled.

Toronto was sitting right there for you dude.

As a Stars fan Seguin going down for the season abruptly and now Marchment missing a month is rough but thankfully we’ve got a solid group of kids (bottom 6ers) filling in.

It shows they have depth. I think Avs had injuries issues since their cup run. I'm surprised to see Toronto here though.

IMO if the Avs can just stay healthy come playoff time they're probably the most dangerous team in the league, or maybe you can say they have the highest potential ceiling. We'll see. I get that the goaltending isn't great but that group has proven before that they can overcome that when the rest of the team is clicking. Also curious to see if they're able to further upgrade the roster at the TDL.

Goaltending issues are solved by the Wood duo and so far they have done an awesome job and seem to have made the locker room trust their goalies again

Counting Landeskog is dishonest. In fact, counting Nichushkin being away on a nose candy trip is also dishonest.

 

[kthx]

Avs lead this every year no?

 

[JoeSakic13]

I don’t think that graph is a fair representation. I can imagine it includes Landeskog and Poolman who are still TBD if they’re ever playing another NHL game.

Avalanche have had some serious injury woes, granted. Just it’s not as monstrous of a difference as the chart suggests.

 

[Crow]

How do they determine the value of the loss? Especially like with the hawks. Some of these guys never really got a chance to see what value they could have.

Edit: it’s on the bottom of the graph. Can’t say I agree with that criteria or disagree. Weighted average war from 3.5 years ago to now. Weighted how?
