Line Combos: 2017-18 Roster Thread II - Massive changes not coming

[duxfan1101]

I'm interested to see how this line does.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Welinski recalled and Blandisi on IR

but, per Stephens, Ritchie is hurt and Blandisi is in his spot with Vermette and Kase.

i'm curious what Blandisi will do, if he wants to a make a good impression he needs to make the most out of this with being able to play while Ritchie is out, at least he's got better wheels than Ritchie.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Per ES...

Hampus Lindholm (upper body) remains on injured reserve and his return does not look imminent.

Ritchie set the bar pretty high

Per ES...

Wonder if it’s to do with the shoulder. Really hope he wasn’t rushed back too early..

I really doubt he was rushed back. It's always possible that any injury can have a life lasting effect, but I doubt it was due to any negligence on the part of management.

 

[Elvs]

If it's a shoulder problem again then that's worrysome. If you've never dealt with a shoulder injury you can't imagine the pain it can cause. The shoulder connects to basically everything you try to do with your upper body. And unfortunately shoulder problems have a tendency to resurface.

After long rehabilitation my shoulder is at least functional againd and 80% healthy. But it wasn't until I seeked help from the physio therapist/fitness coach of Skelleftea's SHL team that things got better. The good news is Lindholm is getting that kind of help on a daily basis.

We should be on pins and needles waiting to see if Boll clears. According to certain people, this is the type of player that is coveted around the league. Just the other day it was said that we needed him back “desperately.”

the only chance Boll gets claimed by another team is if that team has a player with the last name Schitt & another with the last name Fawking so that they can put all three players on the same line.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

With how the last Henrique line played i wouldn't have had a problem with putting Getzlaf in the Kesler spot to see if he can get Silf going but maybe Rico can?

 

[Dirk316]

If Boll gets claimed he will be replaced immediately by Llambias or another enforcer

 

[Dirk316]

Thankfully Shaw and Rasmussen are still here

 

[McDonald19]

Holzer has really fallen out of favor then? Why not just waive him.

Wouldn't mind seeing Sabourin up as 12th/13th forward.

Those two are soft as butter

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Good in the room and doesn't seem to mind sitting, that's probably good to have around. I guess you could argue Bieksa or Beauch should sit over Megna, Larsson or Welinski, but based on the one we've seen this year, I probably wouldn't do that.

Guessing Roy gets sent down tomorrow which is a bummer, I thought he's been better than Ritchie and simply been good enough to stick around. Maybe there's a few things he can work on and come back better than before.

Has there been any word on what his UBI injury is? Hopefully it's not that.

Hard to tell with him sometimes

Why would I think trash like Shaw and Rasmussen are tough?

Because you think Boll is useful, so I find it hard to trust your judgment.

A Stanley cup winning coach felt Boll was useful if he wasn't injured would be in the lineup. I have a feeling his injury is worse than is reported

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Linhold has been taken off the IR.. But sounds like it could very well be his shoulder..

INJURY UPDATE
The Ducks don’t figure to have Ritchie available against the Hurricanes as the winger hasn’t been able to get through their two practices since playing.
Hampus Lindholm was taken off injured reserve but the defenseman is banged up and figures to miss his fourth straight game. Lindholm and the Ducks will have to decide if he is able to play through his unspecified upper-body injury that’s kept him out of practice.

This same coach that regularly plays Shaw and Rasmussen who you call "trash?" Clearly not everything he does is correct.
