Hossa Injury

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L49nD2U83B8
Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa is injured and will be out for "a couple of weeks" Now that we sort of know how long he'll be out the Blackhawks may have to make a move at the deadline. First things first the hip check from Anaheim's Hampus Lindholm wasn't pretty, but it wasn't dirty so it doesn't seem all that bad. The hit was at Hossa's leg and then he fell down and slid into the boards, but that's not where the injury came from. This is really going to hurt the Hawks since they can't put Kane on the first line since that'll ruin their amazing second line so the Hawks need a replacement. The worst thing is that the Hawks don't have a true first line left winger since Shaw isn't consistent enough, and now they don't have a 1st line right wing. Luckily the trade deadline is coming so they can maybe trade for Andrew Ladd for Dano and a second or something to get a left winger, but that means Shaw will have to move to right wing or vise versa. The Hawks need to do something about this or the rest of the season will be rough and they could drop in the standings, but they should be able to pull through. Will this injury have a huge effect? Will the Blackhawks be fine without him? Will Hossa recover in time for the playoffs? stay tuned....
