Fantasy League Injuries

[charlio lemieux]

Man, injuries are everywhere this year. Groins are popping, abdomens herniaiting, and all on top of the regular mix of strains, sprains, breaks, and missing teeth.

Right now I have a team in a pool that has a full 25% of the roster and bench players out with injury. I have 4 goalies active and 3 on the bench and only 2 of them are healthy. I can't ice a full healthy team.
Hopefully this trend will diminish as the season goes on, and there will be fewer injuries.
I call this my "everything I touch dies" phase of the season. The surest way to have a player get injured is for me to activate him on one or more of my teams. :(
So far Miller, Legace, Palffy, Forsberg and Kovalev have been among my biggest losses of the season.
Is anybody else getting bit by the injury bug in a fantasy league?

I've noticed that the injuries seem to be up this year. At one point I had Sergei Fedorov, Alexei Kovalev, Nathan Horton, and Tuomo Ruutu all on IR. It's killed the production from my centers, especially since I thought Ruutu would have a breakout season. Not to mention Fedorov is a shell of his former self.

And on another note, I keep kicking myself for dropping Staal from my team early in the year before he caught fire. Brilliant move that's turned out to be.:curse:

Injuries have hurt a little bit but I still seem to be doing well. Rucinsky was hurt for me, Rick Nash hasn't been healthy at all, Shawn Bates is out for a while and Foote is messed up too.

In the baseball league we had, the injuries completely decimated my team. At one point I had Clint Barmes, Vlad Guerrero, Randy Wolf, Jason Schmidt, Octavio Dotel, and I think someone else out. They were all ranked in the top 100 before getting injured.

At one point I had 4 guys on the IR... 3 goalies (Miller, Denis, Caron) and Tkachuk.. I'm suprised I'm doing so well in the league with the goalies I have... :laughing:

They do seem to be up, especially among goalies... just look at Atlanta.

I got Ruutu back for 4 games, now he's on IR again. He seems to have caught the "Los Angeles Kings Injury Bug".:curse:

The Fantasy League playoffs start March 20th and the Dominator is out. This is going to hurt. With any luck Biron goes to a contender who needs a hot goalie, man he is just waisting away in Buffalo!!!
