Again, with the injuries.

Last season the Penguins overcame quite a few injuries, namely to Sid and The Flower, and made it to the finals. Hopefully, they can do that again and hopefully the injuries will be less of a big deal than last year but so far it's not going too smoothly. Ryan Whitney went down in the summer and now Sarge is possibly out for a ginormous chunk of the season as well. These guys represent our top two defensemen so it'll be tough to start of the season without them, but I think we'll do just fine. True, Whitney and Gonchar are essential on the powerplay and we have a couple of more or less unproven D-men like Letang and Goligowski but we can't forget about the veterans we do have. Scuderi is solid, Eaton is good when healthy, Sydor is a proven vet and Hal Gill is possibly too gigantic to get around. So, after all of that babbling what's the point here? The point is we may be missing some good players but we are so unbelievably deep and ridiculously talented that the panic button doesn't need to be pushed just yet.
