So I missed the game on Saturday. Did someone get hurt?
Don't think so? Miller has been banged up. AV has shown a quick leash on guys like Lindberg/Jooris. Could just be wanting to get a look at Hartford's leading scorer?

Anyone is better than Lindberg or Jooris.
funny. that's how i feel about Puempel, and, lately, Pirri
Puempel and Pirri looked lost on Saturday.
Hoping they waive Puempel to HWP
and they should send Lindy to Hartford for conditioning and lots of icetime, 6 HWP games between wed and Sat 17
after Puempel clears (or not), call up Jensen as well, for the WinChi road trip
with Buch/Zib out, and depth F's not so hot right now, a good time to see if these other guys can add more ...
When we claimed Puempel I said it could be that the Rangers didn't want to have to risk bringing Hrivik up if they didn't have to, and that maybe they were hoping they'd catch lightning in a bottle. So that could be it.
Pirri is what he is. A guy with one plus-plus skill who runs very hot for a bit and then goes ice cold. Not sure if the team will bother with sitting him out for a game. Doesn't seem to be the kind of player who gets back to producing when subjected to that sort of treatment.
What's the risk with Hrivik? We have time for him before he needs to clear again after we bring him up.
Puempel is awful, too. Pirri is a one trick pony and I still laugh that people somehow thought he wasn't for a hot minute. It's not exactly as if we don't know what Pirri is as a player. The guy is awful at just about every single hockey aspect other than shooting the puck.
The former is waiver wire material. What was to be expected? Pirri is showing wards which was going to happen over time as he begins to play against better competition. It is one thing to be a 4th liner who is also on PP, it is quite another to take a regular shift on the top 3 lines. Sort of like playing Brian Boyle as a 2nd line center.funny. that's how i feel about Puempel, and, lately, Pirri
What in the hell?
gotta think that if this is something temporary that they would've picked Nieves instead. Wouldn't be surprised if pretty soon we hear some injury, waiver,or trade news.
I get wanting to give Hrivik a shot, hes earned it. But its not like Nieves was bad when he was up. Granted it was one game, but AV praised his play.
