- Aaron Rome, who is head-and-shoulders above Bieksa, may be out again
- Bieksa got struck by lightning twice and has been pretty bad since returning
Who do we have left? Baumer is a good guy and has played hockey a long time, but he made a couple of plays last night that simply don't work in the NHL. Alberts can hit, but his mobility is limited.

Such a cop out. It's always the same story every year. Injuries.
It's all about how a team comes together for the playoffs and how well they sustain it for the next 4 rounds. There's been countless of times in the history of hockey where a team who just limped into the playoffs made it all the way to the final.
