We didn't just lose a game last night in Montreal, we lost Bryan McCabe for at least six to eight weeks, maybe longer. He broke his left hand in three places. A few weeks ago, I might have sarcastically deemed this a positive, addition by subtraction if you will. But, McCabe's been a lot better lately and seems to have stopped pulling all those boners, so this is a bad break for the team, pardon the pun.
McCabe typically plays almost 30 minutes a game. With him out for a couple of months, it means more Woz and some Kronwall or Stralman. That doesn't improve our playoff chances.
