Injury Report: Buff injury

[pucka lucka]

And what you get in offense from Niku is lost in his defensive abilities...kinda of a trade off no?

So Morrow is good defensively now? Morrow is only near the NHL because of where he was drafted. He is a terrible d-man.

Buff will have plenty of time to ice fish.

Hopefully he doesn’t get fat during the lay off.

Jets metal will Truly be tested now.

What are you guys going to do as far as replacing Buff on the PP? Does that go to Trouba? A forward?

Unlikely it will be a forward since we already run a 4F-1D #1 PP with Laine on the left. Likely Morrissey will be the 1st up in Buff's spot.

I have such a disliking for analyses like yours, pointless harsh scrutiny that is completely void of anything concrete or truthful. In other words, you dont know what you are talking about.

Morrow is a very serviceable 6/7th D man on any roster in the NHL, has played some solid games for us since joining and has shown skill in skating, passing as well as getting shots through from the line.

To say the only reason he is here is because of his draft spot, tells me you have ZERO knowledge of his game or skill set.

You want us to make a horrible trade for a defenseman?

We can do a Premier League type loan of Nate Prosser if you want. He's pretty horrible.

Morrow has sat for every NHL team he's played on. I don't see him as a lock in any of the better D-corps round the league. I agree that he's played some solid games for us, but he's been pretty poor this year and I see Niku as having much higher upside. I do think that PoMo views Morrow as the safer option.

So Mo listened to me and put Lemmy in over do-nothing Applecart!

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Sipowicz called it...

What you get from Morrow is a big fat zero in offense, and poor defensive numbers to boot as well. Niku is raw and has struggled in his own end, but Morrow should not be an option at all.

Morrow looked decent last night vs the Oilers. Created some offense from the blue line, too. Niku might have to wait for another injury or a couple of really bad games from Morrow.

Buff sited in Petersfield Hotel after a day of fishing on Big Windy! Maybe the injury is not that bad.

A friend of mine was in there and bought him a beer and had a pic taken with him that she posted on FB. No crutches or cast...

Buf not skating is not good. The guy seemed lighter and faster this year. I have a feeling that that can change quickly.

Let's hope he's not 300+ pounds when he returns. If he is, maybe he can play OL for the Bombers this season!

 

[CaptainChef]

all i know is when i tore my ankle ligaments i wasnt able to walk for 3 months and still have horrible ankle mobility.. they said it would heal in 6 weeks ...

Haven't heard what the suspected injury was but ankle ligaments seems plausible -- looked pretty innocent really! I've also had ankle ligaments that took forever to heal, but suspect with proper care it might be completely different?

 

[CaptainChef]

I might be a tiny bit worried.

that's huge!! OK I'm now a bit worried as well.

Ya I wld expect the care they get to be top notch where as for us it was suck it up and deal with it lol

Tell your friend it better have been a low carb beer goddammit!!

 

[pucka lucka]

Well, I totally screwed my ankle and could walk on it immediately. 10 years later it's still completely messed up. This isn't an MD forum

He doesn't want to get too heavy because if he does he'll fall through the ice and the fish will end up catching him.

"Here's an elastic bandage, kid. Now go play tag."

 

[Maukkis]

I might be a tiny bit worried.

a) do we underrate Buff
b) do we overrate Chiarot
c) both?

If you are going to start doing this you are going to have to quit your day job

 

[Brominator]

Any chance Buff will be at the Jets skills competition tonight? Obviously not dressed but maybe around just to sign autographs?

My guess is he likely won't be there. My kid is a huge buff fan so he'll be a bit disappointed.

Yeah mine's all messed too but I can walk on it and could the day after the injury. Unfortunately no cast doesn't say much.

 

[Tommigun]

Was Buff even nominated for the all star game? I can’t understand how he’s not voted in or possibly not nominated.
