If it wasn't for bad luck...

Haven't the Steelers been very fortunate in the previous two years with injuries though?
Last year the only injury I can remember them having was that forward who was quickly replaced with by Cruickshank.
Lack of injuries and a settled side was one of the reasons they won the league so convincingly last season IMO.

Depends how bad it is i guess, but I think he'll be back for the end of the season. This is now his third broken bone of the season! We definitely need a replacement as even if he's out for 6 weeks that's about 20 games, including both legs of the CC semi.
And? As people keep reminding Steelers fans, last season means nothing. This season our luck has stunk.
Yes Gillies was replaced quickly but Munn fractured his heel as well. All the other knocks were only minor and missed a handful of games.
I'm hoping we get a replacement forward in rather than Dman. But to be honest I'd sign up LeClair, Romfo and any other North American currently over here who can skate and hold a stick just for this weekend in Grenoble for the extra bodies needed.

Massive blow for the Steelers, every time I see them play I wonder what they will be like without Sarich and Legue. Unfortunately for them the rest of the team does not look anything special at all.
Incidentally, just seen that the both legs of the Challenge Cup semi final between Steelers and Panthers are being played within one week. Far more sensible than the other semi.
