RDS is reporting that Pacioretty will miss two-to-four weeks.
The articles on both RDS and TSN say they could miss at least a month...No confirmation that both will miss at least a month. They could both just as easily only miss 2 weeks.
7 are at home and 7 are against non playoff opponents.
Ideally this is the stretch that could have helped put us in a good position heading down to the final stretch. With the injuries these are still winnable games.
I don't know...i'm pretty 'happy' with some of the early reports of the length of injuries for Cammy and Max P...it could be much, much worse.
It's going to be a test of depth but it will also give guys like Eller, Pouliot and Kostitsyn an opportunity to almost start their season over again.
What's a Habs season without injuries right? I think the only season since the 93' Cup that the Habs have been relatively healthy, was the season they won the division (07 I think???).

Yup. The last time we went (relatively) injury-free was 07-08 I believe. And low and behold guess who finished on top of the Eastern Conference that year.
At least we've escaped the usual over the top injuries so far (Trent Mcleary, Lang, Markov, Audette, Koivu...you get my drift).
The team only plays 3 games in the next 2 weeks, surely they can hold the fort for a couple of weeks.
I believe the most annoying part is that they will be back around the deadline. It leaves us in some type of bind. Should we try to sell players, like Hammer and Spacek?..Or go after re-inforcements?
I wouldn't want Gauthier to give up any more draft picks for rentals.
