Post-Game Talk: 5-1 win. Tarasenko gets 3 points and gives Ekblad his annual March leg injury

[Ratsreign]

Rodrigues probably has the bruise of all bruises right now.

I can imagine,
Glad it must’ve been the bottom edge of his shin pad being pushed out when puck hit that made it appear that his ankle buckled a little

I think he was in the same spot on the ice where Luostarinen was injured in the playoffs too.

Yes Deja Vu

 

[pantherbot]

Can we just rest Barkov for a couple weeks too? Guy seems to be on the verge of some injury half the time.

 

[Idiot Stick]

prob get some info around lunch im guessing.

Some hopium but i figure if it was broken (for erod) we wouldve heard about it by now.

i am never wrong

Time to make the game day loss thread off this momentum

Bobbys next target

Oooh look at that sparkle in his eyes.

 

[Chaos2k7]

How is ERods less serious than Ekblad, but are least we should be healthy game 1 of the playoffs, knock on wood

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

All in all pretty good news, Erod might only miss a game or 2 at most, Ekblad out 3 weeks.

 

[TotalHomer]

These knee problems are really stacking up for Ekblad.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Since February 1st, Bob ranks (amongst NHL goalies w/ 10+ GP):
• 2nd in save percentage (.946)
• 1st in goals against average (1.50)
• T-1st in shutouts (2)
• 3rd in goals saved above expected (+11.40)

I don't think he'll last more than two years in this league.

[Ghoste]

When you see the slo-mo replay of the Ek injury it makes sense he’ll be out a few weeks.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Will be interesting to see if both Mahura and Bjornfot will see time.

 

[violaswallet]

With Carlsson out for the year (Breaking Down Charlotte's Deadline Roster Shuffle - Charlotte Checkers Hockey - charlottecheckers.com), our waiver acquisition makes a lot more sense: We only have 8 D that I'd even want to consider icing (Uvis and Mahura), so Bjornfot is big

I don’t want to doubt “Water into Wine” Zito, BUT, shouldn’t he picked up a solid veteran defenseman at the trade deadline, just in case Ekblad’s injury history, Montour was banged up at the end of the playoffs, Kuli is old.

We still have Mahura who was very solid for us last year and can be a decent number 6 - OEL will take Ek's spot as he already did very convincingly at the beginning of the season. Still can call up Fitzgerald and Kiersted although I hope we won't see them 1 second on the ice this year.

 

[FrolikFan67]

It’ll suck when Stone magically is healed come playoff time and Barkov comes down with his monthly cold right before game 1

 

[batting1k]

“The Panthers have a .675 point percentage — meaning they’ve collected slightly more than two of every three possible points — in the Zito era; among every general manager in NHL history with at least 250 games on the job, only one has a better record. Sam Pollock’s point percentage was .685 in his 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. Nobody else has a better record than Zito does.”

Bill Zito is a thinker and a problem-solver. The approach might bring a Stanley Cup to Florida | TSN

Didn’t know Okposo was in Reinos wedding party, makes a lot of sense now.

Was his best man i think

 

[batting1k]

Standings update: The Boston Bruins have a chance to get back into a tie for first place if they can manage another OTL tonight.

Looking good, folks.

I have zero doubt that he inquired constantly about just that but given the current depth, he wasn’t willing to pay the asking price.
