This is nothing new.

I mean one of the most famous stories in Stanley cup history is Bobby Baun coming back into a game to score the cup winning goal..after his leg was broken.
No one said it was anything new. You're creating a strawman there.

What is being said, is that the team has to catch up with the times, and part of that includes resting players who need rest. No team had fewer man games lost this year:



The fact that the Flames had the "most" guys play through injuries accomplished absolutely nothing, other than probably reducing their performance or increasing their painkiller usage.
