GDT: Game #3 | 10/12/17 | Wild vs. Blackhawks | 7:30PM CT / 3:30AM Finland | FS-N

[Dee Oh Cee]

Zucker is freaking awesome. We need him on this team long term.

 

[MehMild]

Sorry for the back to back post.. but hopefully just a bruised achille for Coyle, and please sweet clean shaven baby jesus nothing serious for Nino on the knee. Foligno probably concussed? Understand the fight but wasn't needed.

Fun game to watch.

I was thinking before the game that there was a good chance we'd win the game if we scored more goals than the Blackhawks. Turns out that was indeed true. Imagine that....

 

[Ban Hammered]

Sounds like no Nino or Coyle Saturday. Maybe no Foligno.
Yikes.

That's what I thought before the Wings game. Oh well..

So THAT'S how we can beat them in the postseason!

I'm gonna cry.

I have no idea how the top brass of the organization can't figure that out. If you score more goals than the other team, it gives you a better chance to win the game.

well poop. Loving Ennis over Poms though. At least he isn't terrified to play hockey.

POminville scored his 3rd tonight. I'll take terrified goals over whatever Ennis is doing.

Ok so let me get this straight. We were playing down a forward tonight, and 3 more got injured. We can only afford to call up 1 forward (by sending Reilly down).

So we're probably going to have to play down 3 forwards on Saturday? An entire line short?

Yup, that's what it sounds like if all of them can't go.

 

[57special]

I bet Spurgeon would be a good forward.

Good thing we have a long break after that game.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Unless one of the injuries is bad enough where it would require IR.

 

[Lapa]

Stewie with two goals?

I should change my username to Top 6 Stewart.

 

[Minnesota]

Stewart doing what he did last season - Got hot early, then didn't see or hear from him later in the season.

 

[TaLoN]

There is an exception where you can call up a 750k player if you play one game with a shortened bench(not sure on numbers).
It has to be a legitimate injury and if any of the injuries we got tonight require missing games we will be able to call someone up but we must first play a whole game short players.

It was talked about on Russo's podcast this week.

Meaning a BRUTAL lineup Saturday if these injuries linger.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Stalock at forward?

We played a full roster of 20 tonight... 7 D-men, 11 forwards, 2 goaltenders. You have to play short a roster player to get that $750k player salary on a call-up exception. We won't do that until Saturday... even IF we send down Reilly.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Maybe Parise will somehow make a triumphant return...

 

[NHL1674]

Maybe Parise will somehow make a triumphant return...

Knowing Parise, he'll probably tell the trainers he's ready to go. We'll get him back for 2 games, and then he'll be out for another 20.

 

[TaLoN]

Maybe Parise will somehow make a triumphant return...

So we were down 1 forward without Parise... we lose 3, send Reilly down for another... Parise comes back, we're still down 1 forward and 1 active roster player.

 

[NHL1674]

Boots, eh?

 

[57special]

And Poms scores another goal, tying Stewart with 4 goals so far.
