GDT: It's been so long since we've played, we've forgotten how GDTs work

[HisIceness]

I don’t think he’s terrible but I could live without orlov

Yeah, I don't hate the dude but I'd rather have a scoring forward with his contract. I'd also rather not have our goaltender get hurt from "friendly fire".

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Donnie better go and get an intervention.

Last year Svetch and Patches, this year it’s two two goalies.

There isn’t a real starter available

 

[Svechhammer]

In reality, if Kooch is really out, this is a lost season without a move for a goalie

Freddie isn't coming back anytime soon, Raanta cannot be trusted to play anything more than an occasional strategic spot start, and the only other goalie on the roster is an ECHL backup. We are f***ed if he's down

 

[Blueline Bomber]

What happened to A. Dell? Did we decide on a Lenovo instead?

He wanted to stay with his family. Got a PTO in Ontario now, I believe

 

[DaveG]

Koochie listed as upper body (does that actually mean anything?) so may be as I initially suspected, concussion protocol… not good but better than any significant long term lower body injury if this is the case

That would actually be preferable. I didn't like how he was favoring his left leg though.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

TML & Isles 3-3
Tb up 3-2
Blues up 2-1 on NYR
Canucks up 3-2
Seattle up 3-1

Isn’t that basically what happened to Halak too?

 

[Derailed75]

It's crazy Raanta was waived, played in the AHL and now is our only hope. My how the turn tables.

Help me Raanta you're our only hope!

 

[HisIceness]

I'm all for cloning 2009 Cam Ward or 2005-06 regular season Martin Gerber.

If he is really out, I would be shocked if a move isn’t made within the week.

I wasn’t a big “need a move right now” guy when Kochetkov/Raanta were struggling. But Raanta/Perets would be a borderline emergency even if Raanta was himself right now.

Can’t move forward with a guy who’s supposed to play every 10 days and a guy who might as well be Jack LaFontaine.

It was in jest saying he needs to go see a psychic to get his world better aligned.

Yup, I realize the market is non existent for a reasonable price.

So brain or knee. LOL

Team orthopedic followed him into the lockerroom but came back out shortly thereafter. Probably a good indicator it is a concussion rather than knee

In 1928, head coach Lester Patrick, a former star in his playing days, inserted himself into the net when his starting goalie was injured. He successfully defended the net and won the game, and his team went on to win the Stanley Cup.

I’m just saying.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Kooch could be out zero games or all of the games. No way to know, now that the protocol is so strict. It's obviously not great, but somehow Raanta has a good home record, and we may as well see whether Perets has the goods now.

Rod the Bod doesn't even need to don goaltender equipment. Those muscles are already make him to cover more of the net than a Michelin Man like Vasilevskiy

Jason Muzzatti still with the org? He was always fun to watch.

Yeah I mean it wasn't ideal before but Kooch calmed a lot of worries with his play. But outside of him our goaltending situation is probably mediocre for ev n AHL standards, given Raanta's play in Chicago after being waived.

We are in dire lost season territory if Kooch is out for any significant time.

Who's trading the Canes a quality goalie?

 

[The Faulker 27]

If it's a concussion, we're probably talking 2-3 weeks. Just enough time for the org to keep rolling the dice in goal, unfortunately. Especially when you have a team that can play shutdown pretty well. The problem is that really messes with the current mojo. Oh well. Shit happens.

 

[Canes]

Who's trading the Canes a quality goalie?

I will. Anyone got a copy of the newest NHL video game? One from 10 years ago will do as I'm sure it's the same game.

Define quality

 

[MinJaBen]

Maybe Don can execute the trade quickly enough that Toronto has to turn on the goal lamp and have Gibson switch creases.

Actually probably better

Well, Gibson went for X-rays after the 2nd, so...
