But he ruled himself out for Thursday.

Is this in the video clip? I saw that same thing on Fear the Fin but missed him saying it.

Frankly, I don't want to see Couture play before playoffs. He needs to rest up, stay on the ice and work the "bike" to make sure he can breathe. Wouldn't hurt to take reps with practice with on the PP

It's not like he broke his leg/arm.....

I was watching periscope presser, so don't know if this has it.

[Negatively Positive]

Eating, talking, and breathing is overrated. Just suck it up and play.

This is what drugs are for.

Some say.

 

[Grave]

inject hgh into his gums

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Thc would probably work better.

just make sure its before home games..

 

[spintops]

Seems like both centers will be out of the first round, which likely means the sharks will be out

Where are you getting this? Thornton made it pretty clear he will be good to go.

I think Jumbo will play, but I doubt he will be effective...Couture is much more likely to be effective given that his injury was to his face.

Jumbo would play with a broken leg if the team would let him. I expect Jumbo to play but I expect him to be absolute garbage.

Sure. And I'll clarify, by "good to go" I mean "will be in the lineup." I'm not talking about his level of effectiveness.

So, hopefully the Ducks lose in regulation and the Oilers win today.

Just my feeling if Thornton is still limping, can't see him being any kind of effective. Couture can't receive contact yet, and he just looks defeated in all of his interviews.

I don't have any inside information - just my gut feeling

 

[WTFetus]

I never thought Couture looked defeated in those interviews. He looks like he's in pain, which he is.

Your Gut and mine are in accord. I think it's 25 to 30% the Sharks get swept and 75 to 80% they get knocked out in the first round especially if both J.T. and Couts will not be near a high level. I don't think they will be at a high level myself.
