Heard on the Fan that no top players were injured. All were as healthy as you can be entering the playoffs. This would be really bad for Monahan because not only was he a non factor in the playoffs, but was absolutely terrible for 3 whole months minus 2 good games (NJD, ANA).
The only excuse I have for the big guys though is that the Avs neutralized their skill very effectively, much like the Knights did last season on route to the Cup finals. Their constant wave of speed and back pressure just tired out the opposition allied them to sweep the Kings, and beat the Jets and Sharks in 5 and 6.
