Bluecharm Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is it just me or are there way more injuries this year then in recent seasons. As an example I have a full IR in GNFL and no room in IR for Braydon Schenn. Vasilevskiy is a huge one. Boston’s defence is hit again with Chara out for a period unknown. Arvidsson out for weeks recently announced. Matthews of course. Too many to mention! I’m spending a lot of time managing IR. In Div 1 I’m on my third IR replacement for the injured Paul Byron. The replacements keep getting injured. Nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammynos Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I actually just saw a tweet about this yesterday...I believe it said something about there currently being 90 injured players and the average at this point in the season is 85. If I can find it, I will post.

Partly I think my teams are getting hit harder than the average and I'm just a bitter SOB. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougall Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I think the difference may be key players as opposed to fringe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarry85 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I'm playing against Vasilevsky in both CFHL and Div1A this week. Wish him a speedy recovery, but not overly upset that he's out this week. Edited November 16, 2018 by clarry85 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salros Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Thankfully, we increased the IR slots to 5 this season. I think the newly added Overager rule and 5 IR slots have kept a number of teams in the mix that would not be without the rule refinements. James did a great job crafting the rule changes that we made last season. It's almost seems like he has a crystal ball to see the future.

James Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Or maybe I'm the one injuring these guys... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
