Recalled/Assigned: Dufour recalled

[MJF]

Bailey is a like a slug on the ice. the only thing he can do is score on a completely empty net from 5 feet out as long has a second or two if it's a one timer he going to miss.

Bailey skates like he’s played 2,000 games in the NHL. He lugs up and down the ice.

For those youngsters out there Wally Pipp took the day off 97 years ago (yes it’s that long ago) with a headache. Replaced by Lou Gehrig and we know the rest.

Funny, my wife had a headache last week and she’s still in my lineup.

Marriages need waivers just to send a message

You need a new GM

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I’m just worried that if I got a new GM, he might want a part time player/coach/GM position.

think Wally is "feeling the heat"

 

[CupHolders]

the guy is still way too young. who is going down is my question. i'm just hoping that the isles dont throw the kid into the fire just because of their scoring woes.

Don’t you remember, all of last year we were told DuFour is an overager… He’s practically 25 going on 32!

Seriously though, it’s fine. This is exactly how players need to be acclimated into the NHL. A cup of coffee this year. Then a more serious look next year.

well i just follow the belief that rushing someone up just to solve our woes is never a good idea, but i get that from baseball. besides, what could go wrong?

Solve our woes? No, we have too many of those.

Send a message? Yes.

I hope the call up of Dufour is a massive wakeup call to the regulars, especially the usual suspects.

 

[The Real JT]

If Dufour’s play impresses Lou, I bet Wally is gone in a TDL package.

I wouldn’t be upset about that. Wally’s value is leaking oil.

 

[Lek]

Is he playing tonight?, lol

 

[BrockLobster]

That went as well as expected

Trying to bring in Dufour against the Bruins and on the top line was a bone-headed coaching decision.

Benching him after a mistake....was worse.

 

[leeroggy]

He'll be fine. I think Lane overreacted for whatever reason, but he would have missed shifts when Barzal was on the PP anyhow.

He made a few interesting plays in his limited time and I'm fully comfortable in saying he'll be a player.

Less than 7 minutes of ice time, and Fasching only got a little over 10, as did Clutter. Lane was trying a lot of line switching. Casey had 14+. Believe it or not, Beau had the most ice time for the forwards!

I thought he was aggressive in the O Zone, and the one play that stood out is how he recognized the Bruin behind the net was struggling a little with the puck, so he jumped it and caused a turnover.

 

[Tres Peleches]

Good on the team to call up one of their better prospects and probably scare the shit out of him by benching him after making one mistake
