[Haite]

Gotta think Zucker and Granlund will be called up.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Welp, what do we want to do with that third line? Personally I'd call up Dowell/Fontaine and either put them in his place or move Mitchell up to the 3rd line.

 

[Jaykay]

Well I'm sure no one wanted an injury, but everyone who wanted Heatley out has gotten their wish.

Zucker time

 

[tomgilbertfan]

I'm not really a huge fan of Zucker with Clutterbuck and Brodziak. 2 players that don't like to pass on the wings of a struggling center...

 

[Nsjohnson]

I may be jumping the gun, but if Heater has positive fracture(s) in his wrist he will be out until the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Edit:If we make the playoffs.

Not that Heater was a huge help on this team, but he has chances every single game.

SMFH.


Injuries....about to start mounting.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Have definitely soured on Heatley a bit this season, but I hate seeing a guy get taken out of the line-up in that kind of way.

 

[State of Hockey]

Broken arm maybe? That was a vicious slash.

Zucker time.

 

[mezcal]

Yeo cut presser off after about 15 seconds because he's so upset with what went down w Heatley at end.

Ditto on that.

Your pickles suck, Vlasic.

 

[mezcal]

Parise - Koivu - Pominville
Zucker - Cullen - Setoguchi
Bouchard - Brodziak - Mitchell
Rupp - Konopka - Mitchell

 

[Lapa]

Samuel Savolainen, a Finnish hockey journalist living in St. Paul, thinks it's a suspension without a doubt.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

Parise - Koivu - Pominville
Zucker - Cullen - Setoguchi
Bouchard - Brodziak - Mitchell
Rupp - Konopka - Mitchell

Cullen's out 2 weeks.

Thought Cullen was out for another two weeks?

 

[Lapa]

Russo thinks it's his left wrist.

 

[Blakkmantis]

This is starting to seem like last season 2.0

 

[thestonedkoala]

This is starting to seem like last season 2.0

But we made a major trade!

 

[mezcal]

I read 2 games, aswell as 2 weeks. Mixed words.

If he is, we need to recall a C from Houston.

 

[Caior89]

anyone got a video of the injury? the one from russo is not working

 

[thestonedkoala]

If he is, we need to recall a C from Houston.

Uh, which center?

Can't we just stick Brodziak on the 2nd line, Konopka on the 4th and Rupp on the 3rd? Or Rupp on the 4th and Konopka on the 3rd? Or hell Coyle on the 2nd again?

Dowell, Rau, McIntyre, McMillian, Phillips, or Granlund. Take your pick.

Then your choices are Granlund, or granlund.

 

[Blizzard6411]

But we made a major trade!

And thank god that we did!

 

[thestonedkoala]

Then your choices are Granlund, or granlund.

Screw it. Bring up Phillips and see what happens. Didn't he and Coyle have good chemistry in the Q?

 

[Blakkmantis]

I'm not too overly excited to see FBJ again so soon. But we might not have a choice now, ackk

 

[thestonedkoala]

And thank god that we did!

Can't wait to see what Jason can do as a defenseman. Wait...

With that said, can we just dump Stoner, Falk, and Spurgeon and bring up Cuma, Scandella, and Kampfer and see what happens? It can't get any worse right?
