Injuries have devastated teams across all sports and all leagues, and even if no one wants to admit it, injuries have been the central cause in various teams championship runs. Would the Bucks have won in 2021 if Kyrie didn't get injured? Could the '09 Penguins really have overcome Detroit if Datsyuk and Lidstrom were healthy? The '08 Patriots went 11-5 and missed the playoffs... after losing Tom Brady for the season in week 1. The fact is, many seasons champions are determined by which team managed to stay the healthiest, rather than which team assembled the best group of players. Injuries can truly be the great equalizer, there is no preparing for it and it can strike anyone at any time. Except in the SHL of course, where for the 76th consecutive season, no player has missed a game due to injury. Which begs the question, why don't other leagues simply follow suit? Why should Flyers fans have to wonder what if Lindros never had injury and concussion problems? No one can ever complain an SHL team won the cup only because the other team got injured. It's incredulous that other league don't also do this!
