It may not be stated in the post game reports or in the official league statuses of the players but the following habs are ALL playing with some sort of injury right now
Rivet, Begin, Markov, Kovalev, Bouillon ( before he actually went out ) Plekanec, Koivu
and im still suspecious of Kovalev. I heard this from Sport 30. RDS's version of TSN's Sports Centre. These players have been giving it their all, but sometimes your body just doesnt let you. Lets be glad we are still in the hunt and kicking. We ALL know that the cup is for dreamers this year, but the playoffs are still a reality. Stick behind our guys, and lets let them know we're still behind them!!

Interesting, and I did hear about Rivet, but how did you find this out Johab?
It's obvious with Markov. Helps explain why Plekanec and Koivu haven't been at their best. I'm surprised about Begin, because he's still practically suicidal with the effort out there. You can't tell with Kovalev...
Begin is playing with a leg injury. He wouldnt say what it was, but he is walking with a terrible limp. Im guessing either a pulled groin or a ankle injury ( sprain ? ) But i found out about most of these injuries by watching the pregame news, morning skate news and also, Sport30 shared half that list, the others i put by my own observation.

Begin is really tough along with Rivet. Remember in the last season, Begin played with a torn rotator cuff most of the season then had surgery in the off season.
I think in this league and at this time, every player is probably playing with an injury, some more major than others. I also heard Ribs had a Ribs injury for example. It's just that you probably hear about the more serious one while the more minor ones go hand in hand with being a hockey player. This isn't curling!
