IrishPride Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I cant remember this many players being injured/suspended (marque players) in years? I know someone looked it up somehow? Has there ever been a season similar to this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I cant remember this many players being injured/suspended (marque players) in years? I know someone looked it up somehow? Has there ever been a season similar to this year? You know, I was thinking something similar this weekend and then I looked up the past few years and noticed that this actually been an upoward trend the last three year. However, I am sure if we went back the last 5-10 years, we would probably find similar trends. This year definitely has more higher ranking names than in years past.
