At this point they have to split Mack and Mikko up right?
Like if we cant even put together one super line what's the point to keep them together. Split them up and at least we'll have one big scoring threat on the ice for half the game.
Its actually incredible the injuries we have now. 4/6 Top 6 forwards is wild enough. Then you factor in a Top 4D, a 4/5D, our 4th line Center, our #7D... And even after that you've got injuries to a number of our AHL call up guys. Bowers and Maltsev are out long term, Ranta and Olausson are out right now. Kaut is still out with the flu...
Its just incredible. I really, truly dont think this team will be able to keep its head above water at this rate. They have to start getting healthy or it'll be too much to overcome IMO.
The good news right now is next game is against Philly, which even with the injuries we have... That's a winnable game. They aren't exactly healthy either and they suck. Still possible they lose though. But its not a guaranteed loss like tonight was.
After that, gotta hope or believe help will soon be on the way when they get home from this road trip. ERod was only supposed to be out 2-4 weeks and he got hurt on the 23rd. Bo and Nuke were both skating before we started the road trip.
We need guys to come back. Its as simple as that at this point.
