Injury Report: Stastny LBI 10/8

[mundyc3]

Patches is hopefully on a maintenance day.

VGK Twitter confirms Stastny in.

Wondering if another line would be Pacioretty-Eakin-Carpenter.

There are grumblings that Patches will be a scratch tonight.

And this:



I'm bewildered.

Turk said someone will be scratched and they'll make the decision tonight. Nothing wrong with Pacioretty.

Alright! Lets hope Stastny makes an impact. On STL he didn't always show up on the scoresheet but he makes guys around him better. His passing is phoenomenal!

He was skating as a 4th line extra and was off the ice early.

Patches won't play due to minor injury.

Patches won't play due to minor injury.

That jibes with the fact that he was off the ice early.

While I don't want him reinjured, I do want to see him push hard to know what he can do for the team

Pushing hard and keeping it simple don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Am I the only one who disagrees with this? Sure if it was any lesser known player, but it is Statsney. He would make us better if he was in the lineup rather than out of it.

I wasn’t suggesting that I still don’t miss him. I don’t miss him as much, but that’s because I don’t have the desperate feeling I had earlier in the season.

The title of the article tried to make things seem more dramatic. I tend to ignore the titles because they just try to get our attention.

Patches has already missed a game recently. Is this injury still going to linger if he sits out another game?

I think it's like. "Oh no! we have our 2nd line together! Patches pretend your injured so no one gets for reals injured"

 

[CupInSIX]

One step forward, one step back.
Life truly is suffering.

 

[Super Cake]

f***ing bullshit. Finally get Statsny back and out goes Patches due to a injury.

But what about the REAL elephant in the room? Eakin getting kicked back to the third line after holding Stastney's spot nicely in his absence. Lindberg moves up so line 3 becomes Nosek, Eakin, Carpy?

Having a top line C like Eakin playing on your 3rd line is a luxury few teams can boast though
