From Darren Dreger:
“Phaneuf suffered a deep cut last night. Burke says he’s out at least 4 weeks.”
See this?…
This is me, not panicking.
For some reason, I’m not really all that worried about Phaneuf being out for a few weeks.
Does it suck? Yeah. But the defence right now should be able to perform well enough to get by for a few weeks this early.
Looking for an increase in ice-time, Komisarek? You found it.
Of course this is brutal news for Phaneuf and his teammates, there’s no doubt about that. But this is one instant where that logjam of defencemen actually helps.
That doesn’t make Burke a genius for signing fifteen trillion guys for the back-end, but it does help the team right now, luckily. Twenty five minutes per night is tough to replace, but if there’s one team in the league built to do it, it’s Toronto.
