Greatest contrast eVaR!

Elrock, I found this blurb floating around in ESPN.com.

"Heading into their regular-season finale against the Atlanta Thrashers Saturday, the Lightning had established an unofficial NHL record for the healthiest season ever with only 34 man-games lost to injury.

Thirty-four.

The Los Angeles Kings rack up 34 man-games while boarding the team bus.

Earlier this week, the Kings established a new NHL record by hitting the 629 man-games-lost mark, eclipsing the 573 put up by the Boston Bruins in 1991-92.

In the past two seasons, the hard-bitten Kings will have topped the 1,165 mark for games lost to injury."


Look at the bright side at least next "season" we probably won't have to worry about injuries at all.
