Injuries are cropping up everywhere. Montreal has a pretty good record for a team that's apparently struggled (at least according to Carbonneau and some analysts). Maybe now they will *really* struggle. I mean, you're not going to get another hat-trick out of Lapierre, and probably not Kostitsyn either. Long-term injuries to Higgins and Dandenault, and now Tanguay, with Koivu also sidelined for a while. They are turning 100 and they're looking their age.
I'd say that Boston is about to run out of adrenaline. You can't continue with 9-10 game winning streaks when you are missing Bergeron, Sturm and Ference long-term. Sure, others have taken up the slack but if Bergeron is out long-term they *will* cool off. Hopefully in about three games
Bogosian is coming back to Atlanta's lineup. We only face them twice more this season. Here's hoping that Zach returns to game fitness after the Sens game on the 14th and helps Atlanta go on a mini-tear againts, oh, pretty much everyone int he East.
