Malhotra is out for the rest of the season. Edler and Bieksa potentially not back up to 100% after their injuries. The Stanley Cup is slowly going down the drain for the Canucks.

Good ruling by the league! Finally starting to be severe on rulings for headshots.
Kovalchuk should have played like he has for the past 15 games from the beginning. In a sense he really screwed the Devils over this year with his subpar performance.
He needs banned from the league

How is it a major statement game? You won 7-0 Congratulations. We had 4 guys who returned from injuries, 2 of them haven't played in nearly 15 games, while the other 2 have missed the last 4. I'm not using that as an excuse. They didn't show up for the game it's as simple as that. If they came to play I guarantee the outcome is different.
Yeah you won 7-0. Don't let that get to your head if you think that means your just gonna run over the Habs from now on. You better think twice about that.
Just kidding, the Canucks still own this league lol.
Unfortunately it was a lot more than Kovalchuk. With his $100 million, 15 year deal they had to make some serious roster changes, and they also lost their head coach when Jacques Lamaire retired, and the defensed suffered tremendously because of this. They lost their best defenseman, Paul Martin, to free agency, and brought in two new guys from free agency, Tallinder and Volchenkov, and they both took a while to be in corporated. They had no structure or rhythm on offense in the beginning of the year and it was a distaster. It took a firing and Lemaire returning for them to turn around. Unfortunately I REALLY like where the team is now, but they'll simply run out of time. And this is without Parise...
Maybe the fact the Bruins were in a slump, only a few points ahead of MTL and a HUGE win of 7-0 in hockey? Sports momentum, heard of it?
until the playoffs start...
How is that working out? 1-0 loss against the Rangers
