Actually, with Grzelcyk and Chara (broken jaw confirmed) probably out, and Miller questionable, it's a REALLY big deal. Losing half your defense corps is a possible coffin nail for any team. I don't know how deep they are back there, but it's likely not enough if those players can't go.

Unless they come back, I doubt anyone makes the Blues the underdog......they were favorites in Vegas for game 4....it will be worse for game 5.

The issue will be whether the new Blues show up or if the Blubs make an appearance. The series, if those injuries hold, is theirs to lose. (they still aren't much of a force if they don't score first and get the momentum.....Perron, etc. tend to fall off the page and try to fight the opposing goalie....the safest bet

)

BTW - it's pretty easy to keep track of the 16.473% of the team I can't stand.
