Why All The Injuries?

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,
While the messes in both Phoenix and at the NHLPA are of concern to the league, the glut of superstars stuffed in the trainers room should be the NHL’s most pressing issue at the quarter pole. As injury lists go, this one has been unprecedented.
(Ken) Holland sees two reasons for the trend.
“First off, it’s a freak occurrence,” Holland said. “To have so many top line guys go down, what else can you say?
“Secondly, it shows that those who claim the regular season doesn’t mean anything are wrong. There are so many teams so close to each other in this age of parity, every game means something. Guys are going that extra mile, blocking shots, sacrificing their bodies, because they know every point matters.
“In a cap world, with the majority of teams within five points of a playoff spot, guys who are bigger and stronger than ever before are playing very intense hockey.”
