Please start Hill vs. the Stars if Raanta isn't ready to go.

Louis needs to sit and think about what he's done.

 

[moosemeister]

Domingue really needs to sit out a game.

It’s a shame that the defense is going to hang Hill out to dry

Help me understand this. Which is the starter in Tucson?

 

[Mosby]

Why not recall Hill in the first place?

This tells me they wanted Hill to play the game in Tucson (Langhamer was unavailable as he was with the Coyotes). But Langhamer was perfectly capable of warming the bench. Now that the backup may actually need to play, they're turning to Hill.

No Raanta for Dallas. I hope like hell that Hill plays.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Yeah...Domingue has been terrible. No reason to think that Hill couldn't improve slightly on suckittude

Langhamer is on a two-way. He got an extra few thousand dollars for his few days on the NHL roster.

Yep... He was also called up on emergency basis. Whatever is bothering Raanta can't be that serious I would think. But any lower body injury to a goalie magnifies things.

I believe they alternate - like Captains on the main club. Welcome to the land of indecisiveness and weak (if any) structure.

 

[rt]

Hill played a lot more but I'm not sure about injuries or other factors.

 

[Prarievarg]

Hope Adin gets a start. Would be interesting to see how he handles a NHL game. Also the team should want to perform better in front of him.

Which one is the starter in Tucson?

So far this season Hill and Miska have one start each. Miska got pulled in his game for Hill after giving up 6 goals on 18 shots in 26 minutes.

 

[rt]

Hill started a bunch last year so I guess we can call him the starter in Tucson.

The reason I'm trying to verify this is to understand why Langahmmer was first called up and why he's now been sent down for Hill. If Hill is the bonafide starter it makes sense. We didn't want to rob Tucson of their starter just so we could have the better back up. Now we want someone besides Domingue to start, so we've called up their starter and sent their backup back down to them.

 

[Mosby]

That's how I see it.

That's precisely it. Langhamer is like the Mario Kempe of our goalie corps - a warm body who can be shuttled anywhere. But if Raanta is out for a bit, we need someone who might have a shot at winning a game since Louie has decided that the Coyotes still need a headcase even though Smitty's in Calgary now.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

There's got to be a first time for everybody. Today is a low pressure game for Hill, as nothing is riding on this game.

 

[rt]

Anyone need a goalie? If not, might be a good time to try to sneak Domingue through waivers and get Tucson a starter to replace Hill.

 

[Mosby]

There’d be no sneaking. No one would claim him.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

There’d be no sneaking. No one would claim him.

Have to admit, that was my first thought too.

 

[rt]

Fair. Let's do it then.

 

[Mosby]

Tocchet says Hill is likely to play the 2nd game vs. Dallas

As he should after last game. Hell even when Raanta is healthy, if hill is playing like this he should stay up and they can battle for the starting job.

Agreed.
