A rather brutal injury update

  1. Yikes. Good thing GOD’Astous is healthy. James has been suck a good energy on the ice so that blows.

  2. Actually rather have this and get them really healthy vs playing a bruised and battered team against the rags and kittycats. Let the guys rest and let the Syracuse boys have some fun.

  3. Ohh, many of our key physical players just happened to be injured so we have to call up a bunch of reserves to fight the kitties? How convenient. Now we can send out enforcers who won’t fear an NHL suspension

  4. Idk, I’m fine with a few games off in the middle of an 82 game season for our older guys.

  5. Scott Sabourin… come on down! Just in time for Saturday’s showdown with the pussy cats.

  6. We can’t actually make any call ups to the roster unless someone goes on IR (in which case they can’t play for 7 days) or James is sent down. We have 23/23 spots full right now and are very close to the cap ceiling, so even using the IR might not work (I don’t fully understand those rules though).

    James, Crozier, and D’Astous are the only waiver exempt players, and I don’t see Crozier or D’Astous going down

  7. A 4th line of Girgensons-Douglas-Sabourin incoming for the kitties. Could also call up geekie or Stachowiak since they’re waiver exempt. Pelletier has also looked phenomenal. Saw the crunch play in charlotte over the weekend and Pelletier’s two way game was one of the most noticeable things on the ice. That and geekie out-skating everyone.

  8. Genuinely wondering if this is them planting seeds of plausible deniability for if we decide to bring up a ton of AHL guys against Florida again.

    If we do it again the league will absolutely be trying to fine us and take all kinds of disciplinary actions, but if we can convince people it’s because of actual injuries then maybe now it’s more within their invisible rulebook.
