I was originally responding to Roman Yoshi comment PK should be sitting. He is obviously injured and not half the player he was earlier in the year. I'm not jumping off a cliff by saying I'm surprised he came back not 100% and would rather he be 100% post any surgery than ??% he is now. IF surgery is still in the picture would anyone want him to wait and not fully recuperate for October because of a May surgery instead of a February one?
i don't believe subban is playing hurt or for one minute think we would risk him playing if we truly thought playing put him at any further risk.
think that's just being used as an excuse from some for him not being more dominating. to me, he's simply playing tentatively, which admittedly 'might' be him not having confidence in the injury not reoccurring (whatever it was to begin with, and i'm certainly betting it was back or neck again).
If there is one injury you can’t mess around with it is a back injury.
Tell a competitive guy that the team could use your help and you patch yourself up and take the ice even if you're not fully recovered.
If you add the fact how banged up those guys are sometimes during playoffs when they take the ice, a little twisted ankle or whatever feel like nothing.
Forsberg played with broken finger or what it was last year? If you knew it you might have noticed it, but could anyone then call it anything but just being a little off somehow?
Yeah but that ain't PK. Don't you listen? He's selfish and only gives to kids so he looks good. He isn't some character guy that will sacrifice his health for his team mates.
And I think the observation about his skating is dead on. Which makes me wonder if that rumor about his back was just scurrilous rumors put out by a media machine that has made a living off of ******** on him. Maybe it's a leg or knee issue.
I was under the impression he was being sarcastic but maybe not.Have you ever met PK? Spent time with him? Know his character? More than likely a no on all those questions. If you want to question what a player does on the ice that's fine and warranted. Calling someone selfish is bunk and off limits in my book. In some scrims recently he has been sticking up for his teammates. That doesn't sound like a selfish guy to me.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry it didn't read that way. An emoji would have been well placed I guess.
To be clear, I was being sarcastic in the first paragraph, but meant what I wrote in the second.
Sorry. Sarcasm doesn't come across as well when I'm hungry. Funny how that works. Lol.

bdub's avatar forces me to read everything as sarcasm first, then serious on the second pass through.
had hopes Josi would be ready for this homestand, but see he's still vague about when
Just noticed that we are at the 50 game mark and we have the exact same record this year as last year at this time:
24-18-8
We have scored 11 more goals this year and allowed 1 more than last year.
What is interesting is at this time last year, starting with game 51 we lost two straight at home in regulation and went on to lose 5 of the next 7. It appeared that all of our pre all-star break momentum was gone, but after that brief slump we really turned it on with a 14 game point streak that solidified our playoff spot.
Point is, we really didn’t truly put everything together last year until around game 60.
Which again makes the overreaction to one loss all the more ridiculous.
I'll be surprised if he's not back by Saturday. He practiced fully yesterday.
And going by the past, players are always vague, sometimes even on the morning of the day they wind up playing
