Injury Report: Gudbranson 1/18/16 (apparent back strain, not serious per GR)

[Gentle Man]

Man, Mitch went down the same time last year didn't he. Like 15, 16 games. ...

 

[ShootIt]

Dylan Olsen probably. Would be pleasantly surprised if it's Matheson though.

Would be nice to see Weegar or Matheson, but it'll probably be Olsen, especially since we are playing Chicago next.

Tallon needs to acquire a dman now

Tallon needs to acquire a dman now

There are no team in the NHL that Tallon can do a highway robbery on at the moment. So no trades will be made.

Honestly, with the way Mitchell has been playing lately, I'm looking forward to a d-man coming up from Portland and try to prove himself. I know Mitchell is still great for the guidance off the ice, which can still happen while not playing.

5 on 5 he has been lacking, but our PK WILL take a dive without him, similar to last year

Nobody was missing from Portland's practice. If someone is going it will be later today.

Did anybody watch the last "Leaving the Den: Panthers on the Road"?

I thought it was funny to see that Guds has a special pregame handshake with literally everyone on team - of course most of them do with each other but they showed him several times. Nice to get quick looks behind the scenes like that, I wish we knew more.

Hopefully he'll be playing tomorrow.

They should give Weegar and Matheson a look to replace Mitchell since it is likely that we will have to count on them a lot more next season. Olsen is a good temporary replacement. The final verdict on him is still out IMO

True, at some point in time the org needs to have a look at what is in the AHL to see what we will do moving forward. I also think this is why the Tom Rowe promotion was done. He knows the AHL kids for sure.

Would not mind giving some of these kids a cup of coffee while we get ready for the postseason, here and in the AHL.

From yesterday...

Confirmed. Call up coming later today.

It's Olsen.
