Injuries are part of the game, they all skate on the same ice. Depth is a metric of the quality of a team, and it appears depth was a weakness of the Vancouver team.
If depth was not the weakness,then durability of the Canucks surely was.
I don’t want to be contentious, but you are going to have to man up and face the reality.
I think I'm through following all professional sports. It's a diversion for small minds, a waste of time, a cause of meaningless chest thumping that does not advance the cause of art, science, or anything else of importance.
