Recalled/Assigned: Dufour recalled

[seafoam]

I’m surprised and thought there’s no way the kid gets a look this year. Too young I figured.

I figured wrong.

Assuming he’s in the lineup let’s just hope Lane doesn’t play him 6 minutes with the fourth line.

It’ll make the game a bit more interesting

His ELC won’t slide like Raty’s so I expect him to get more minutes and PP time.

He has the potential to become what I want Wahlstrom to be.

 

[Osakahaus]

Dufour will be 21 in two weeks. This is Wahlstrom’s 3rd season and he’s 22. I’m more interested in seeing what GMs show up to the game tonight

who would even want Wahlstrom?

 

[xIsle]

It looks like Dufour is playing with Barzal tonight.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

I'm excited to see Dufour play. I'm not excited to see the walloping we're going to receive from the Bruins.

 

[JKP]

meh, give him a little taste (a game or two) as a reward for having a good season so far. Can he be much worse than some of what's been happening...?

 

[MJF]

they said pageau was on ice today. and dufour isn't a center.

looking at what Gross just tweeted, the fact he's on the first line with Barzal and...bailey, is damning to where we are offensively as a roster. Looks like holmstrom is the odd one out, which makes sense.

You’re right about Pageau, just saw the tweets from practice.

Why anyone should have an issue with a first year pro who is scoring in the AHL being called up on merit is baffling to me? Isn’t this what we should want?

The offense dried up here. Dufour has 12 goals in BPT. Bring him up.

 

[The Real JT]

I have to say it because I’m a beaten down Isles fan.

Let’s hope Lou isn’t showcasing this kid for a TDL move.

 

[MJF]

tbh I'm much more concerend about having Cholowski play than Dufour.

Amen to this.

then lets hope he does well. Raty also showed good flashes in his short tenure.

And he left here with a good report card. That’s what we want. Small successes to build on.

 

[The Real JT]

With Bailey on the wing at least we know he’ll get some passes sent his way.

Really excited to see this kid. If he ever hits his ceiling, he is precisely what this franchise needs.

 

[WangMustGo]

play the kids, bench the losers

So i guess we are dressing 3-4 players tonight

 

[The Real JT]

Josh Bailey with yet another game on the top line. With that in mind there need to be a moratorium on criticizing Barzal until he’s not paired with him.

Hopefully Dufour makes both of them look good tonight.

unless this goes into overtime

 

[xECK29x]

Guess I'll be watching tonight after all.

I'm hoping that changes to Parise-Barzal-Dufour by the 2nd period.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Can't wait for Willem Dafoe!

 

[seafoam]

I'm excited to see Dufour play. I'm not excited to see the walloping we're going to receive from the Bruins.

Bedard-Dufour combo tho…

I'm hoping that changes to Parise-Barzal-Dufour by the 2nd period.

Absolutely, that line needs more of a lunchpail guy than Bailey. Hell, I’d even take Lee there..

Because why not have 2 guys who can shoot the puck like Parise and Dufour instead of Bailey’s rotting corpse.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

The fan base and their obsession with smothering prospects till they are 23 yrs old is mind boggling.

I think the problem usually isn't how young they are, it's how good they aren't. The age thing, for fans, is just a rationalization.

 

[The Real JT]

I'm hoping that changes to Parise-Barzal-Dufour by the 2nd period.

I really like that idea.

If Dufour turns out to be the real deal (no, not tonight) that line could, dare I say it, be formidable.

 

[The Real JT]

I’m hoping Dufour doesn’t have his driver’s license and Chowlowski volunteered to drive him down to the Island before returning to Bridgeport.

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.

 

[leeroggy]

Love it

Let’s see how he handles himself

His hockey IQ is a better fit than Wally for Barzal

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.

AND it reaches the net . . .

 

[doublechili]

If Dufour pots a goal or two, can we start calling Wahlstrom "Wally Pip"?

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.

You need a new GM
