We've discussed a lot about the fact that Tony Granto and Joel Quenneville have each had to deal with a considerable number of injuries during their tenure behind the Avalanche bench.
Just for kicks, here's the record for both Granato and Quenneville with and without Joe Sakic and Paul Stastny over the last two seasons. Interestingly, Sakic has missed all but one game that Stastny has missed since SOS joined the Avs - a loss to Edmonton on March 22nd, 2008 that Stastny skipped due to the flu.

| w/Stastny | 45 | 20 | 23 | 2 | 0.444 |

I'll leave it up to you guys to draw the necessary conclusions.
