Kyle Okposo out 6-8 Weeks

This is certainly not the way you want to start the second half of a season. One of your best players out for 2 months is not ideal, especially when they are trying to fight off the Rangers, Penguins and Capitals for the top spot in the Metro. KO had 44 points at the All-Star break, just one point behind his line-mate Johnny T and tied for 13th most in the league with Zetterberg and fucking Phil Kessel!! And why exactly wasn't he in the All-Star game?

And now he's gone. Fresh off of face-fucking the Penguins with 4 goals he goes down. If this were any other team I would be way more fucking mad than I am. Although losing Kyle is a MASSIVE punch in the dick, I'm hoping that the deepest team in the NHL can compensate. Everyone on this team fucking contributes and it's great to watch.

This is definitely a test for Capuano. How do you keep the team rolling with its second-biggest contributor missing? How do you also find another partner-in-crime for Tavares after he's skated with KO for the last 5 years? He's moved Grabovski up and Bailey over to right wing, let's hope it works Jack.

Let's also hope they can hold off the Rangers and get Henrik pulled again.
