Are injuries too high?

[Jiri Hrdina]

Just taking a pulse check here.
I know my team has consistently had 3-4 guys on IR for almost all year. Not sure if that is unusual or not but just want to see if folks think that IR is too high or not.

[SportsJunky]

I like it where it's at. I have had Steen and Olofsson out for 1 week each and Spezza out for a month. That makes the game more interactive in my opinion. Filling those lineup holes is an art sometimes.

[MJK]

I have 4 guys out now for about a month, before that guys like Burns and Jack Johnson were out. It’s higher than previous years but I bet it’s consistent across every team.

So I am voting no because I don’t like changing stuff during the season.

[Goffie]

I haven’t experienced too many yet knock on wood. Usually 1-2 guys hurt at a time. But I really spread out my playing time so not sure if that has an impact or not.

[Cheese]

Yes.. It is unrealistic right now. Same with goalie CON.

[Swayze11]

Also, as Cheese stated... something seems off with goalie CON

[Hanna Sniper]

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Yeah I have four d injured at once. Never had that before and all were gone for a couple weeks.

[Cheese]

Only six responses.. GMs must be hibernating.

[Goffie]

My goalie CON drops significantly. I find that a little frustrating but I have learned to adapt.

The vote is only yes or no and I really don't have a strong enough opinion tocommit to one side

I guess i vote no then, assuming that if I thoguht yes then I would have selected it right away

[JonDuke]

I've been riddled with injuries too. It is higher than past years for sure, but I voted no because...
I don't think a change mid-season is a good idea and also think it adds a different dimension to the game that everyone collectively needs to adapt to.

Last year got lucky and had no injuries all season long IIRC. This year have had lots of guys out and think they're a little high (yes it's a part of the game obviously, but I think they need to be toned down a tad)

They are high, but as others have mentioned it makes it fun and helps when you have depth. It's boring when you dress the same lineup for 82 games. Backup goalies and vet depth have more value and IMO will hopefully help increase trades.

[TurdFerguson]

I've found goalie CON to be far more disruptive then injuries. Both are significantly different from past years though.

I feel like injuries are ok where they are but it's really close to being too common.

Same, my starter has not even played allot of games.

Yet its really...really tough to keep the CON from dropping....

Coyotes backup is on schedule to play around 29 games....

Seems quite high.
