They have. Check what other teams have missed. How many games have been missed between our best players - Bratt, Nico, Jack and Dougie?

Agree with everything, other than Blackwood, as him being out HELPED us much more than it hurt us.

If it was the All-Star game stupidness how exactly did he play a full game with a ‘week to week’ injury then?

While I get your point, I think the luck of it has been that our big 4 of Jack, Nico, Bratt and Dougie have all been healthy to this point in the season which is something we haven't had luck with in the past. It's obviously a major reason why we've been successful as well.

Nah, the boys will figure it out. I still like our lineup.

So it has not been bad at all. Especially since our best players have been healthy.
I'm not really too worried about Hughes missing some time here. Much more important that the rest of the team performs better moving forward. Need some big performances from guys that have been passengers the last 15 games or so.

Damn from maintenance day to week-to-week, that sucks. Losing Jack is a big blow we need the rest of the team to step up now.

Other than the worthless piece of shit, suck goaltender that's probably in net for us tonight. It seems a bit obvious they're gonna play him, unless they just wait for Columbus next week lol.

Hopefully this will force some of the other F's to step up and contribute.
With Ruff saying he expects Hughes to be out on the quicker side of the week to week timeline, I feel like he'll miss 1-4 games tops.

To me, it’s a silver lining. They din’t have a choice. Jack will rest and come back fired up.

Said it yesterday, losing Jack blows but it gives someone else on this roster to step up. Namely Nico/Mercer/Holtz (since he's drawing back in it looks like). They've been playing like absolute horse shit so this could be a blessing in disguise.
Im on the phone with Timo now
If you believe them. This organization has done nothing to make anyone believe they when it comes to injuries.

indeed it is! Someone posted a tweet from Amanda in the GDT that Alexander the Great is drawing back in.

We were kind of due some positive ‘regression’ anyway after last year though between the goalies, Hughes and Dougie

No reason for Ruff to lie. Could’ve simply said “week-to-week” and not add the “shorter end part”.

I think the boys will get themselves rolling. Hopefully they won't be putting too much added pressure on themselves but there has to be awareness of how much Jack has produced over the past 2+ months.
I feel we have the depth to still be fine, we've shown it in the past. It's time for some of those guys who have been off the scoresheet as of late to step back up.
