Do we even have 18 skaters (assuming both are injured) for Philly? This means Scott and Hannan are regulars now...

 

[DystopianTierney]

Hmmm... "Thumb injured, Arm in sling"? Is that code for the tank needs more Irwin/Hannan?

Hope Mueller isn't out long. Was looking forward to seeing him get some heavy minutes to end the season.

Scary cut for Hertl.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Since the games don't mean much, let's see Scott on defense haha.

Joke is on you. They were always regulars. We give Mueller and Hertl a chance and they go get injured. They will never see ice time again.

didn't Mueller have some kind of wrist earlier? Maybe also his shoulder now?
Maybe his body is still growing and not NHL ready?
He probably needs 20-40lbs of more muscle just to avoid injuries.

Mirco has actually held up a lot better than I thought he would. He obviously got a lot of rest, but he hasn't played soft. He looked like a baby giraffe last year. I thought he was going to get killed.

Adding more muscle probably will not help him avoid injuries.

But to help him more at being an every day nhl defenseman he could and should put on another 20 lbs. That would make him 6'3 205 lbs. Which is a good size for a defenseman, but it is going to take him 2-3 years of nhl trained offseasons for him to reach that size.

Yeah I agree with you there, he's been a lot more feisty than I would have expected. It's something I wasn't expecting from him, but love

 

[Alwalys]

It does seem that as the season has gone on, teams have figured out how to exploit him.

 

[LadyStanley]

OK, so possibly return for Colorado, or Phoenix.....

Kurz' headline: Mueller out indefinitely


Do have to wonder if they'll call up D man. Fedun? Tennyson?

 

[Led Zappa]

Wrapped and in a sling sounds a lot like broken, wait for swelling to go down until they know if it needs surgery.

Hope I'm wrong.

I hope he gets the green light to run around in the season finale.

 

[tahoesharksfan]

Toemash is really getting an introduction to the potential side effects of playing the game this season.

Between last night's skate to the face and the puck Cooter hit him with earlier in the season he's acquired some nice "hockey player" markings...

With back to back games I'd imagine they'll call someone up.

Hopefully it's Tennyson and they go back to:
Vlasic-Braun
Dillon-Tennyson
Irwin-Burns

That group was actually quite good for the 7 or 8 games they got to play together.

 

[LadyStanley]

Listening to McLellan, no one will be recalled for Saturday's game. (IOW Hannan back in.)

But they will evaluate and determine if someone else needs to be recalled for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh.


Have to think that with the team off Monday, and practice Tuesday, there will be time for further (medical) evaluation of Mueller. So, there might be a recall for Wednesday as well. (Perhaps for the rest of the season)

Mueller seems like a bit of a china doll. Hopefully it's just some physical maturation that is needed.

Braun broke his hand from blocking shot this season. (Now wears special pad on back of glove to help prevent)

As did Wingels IIRC.

 

[Boy Hedican]

Adding more muscle probably will not help him avoid injuries.

Maybe not for an injury like this one, but over all adding muscle will definitely help avoid injuries. Most joint related injuries can be reduced with muscle growth.

Yeah, he's got Ryan Murray disease

 

[Lebanezer]

I guess we get to see Hannan every game for the rest of the season.

 

[hohosaregood]

Damn Everett defensemen...

 

[Juxtaposer]

All Hannan all the time.
