Wow.
Another blow to the already injury-ravaged Red Wings. In the first game of the season, Babcock used these top three scoring lines:
Johan Franzen-Pavel Datsyuk-Tomas Holmstrom
Todd Bertuzzi-Henrik Zetterberg-Dan Cleary
Ville Leino-Valtteri Filppula-Jason Williams
Of those nine players, only five remain. I'm officially going to say injuries are now impacting the wins/losses. Yes, I know it's no huge revelation, but I figured injuries was too convenient an excuse. The team needed to take responsibility for the awful results. I doubt many teams would be able to compete with so many forwards missing.
The silver lining is that the two best forwards remain. They need to carry the load. That means you, Datsyuk!
