[Samcanadian]

Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day.



At dawn ...look to the east

Bad news: with that D lineup we just became the Oilers

Woah woah too far

[Ducky10]

The Oilers?........c'mon man that's just low.

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Too late in the game to hope for the tank to return?

Hey arby! Haven't seen you around in a while. How are things?

Chairot - Byfuglien
Clitsome - Stuart
Pardy - Postma

I don't know how we're going to win with that D line up. No offense to any one individual, but as a group they leave a lot to be desired.

Thankfully, this will probably be the d-pairings:

Chairot - Buff
Stuart - Postma
Clitsome - Pardy

There: doesn't that make you feel better? No?

Bad news: with that D lineup we just became the Oilers

Its not THAT bad

Woah woah too far

I know I'm 'glass-is-half-full' guy (though I will dispute that - it's either full or empty, depending on where I am in my scotch imbibing), but I think we can weather the storm. I'm hoping that the new systems and increased defensive awareness and support of the forwards will help.

We'll be missing the puck moving abilities of Enstrom, Bogo, and Trouba, but Clitsome CAN be OK at this, Postma scoots along pretty well, and Buff will be Buff.

At least it's going to be ... interesting!

We are all men, grown men who can share their emotions

I feel like crying on Paul Maurice's shoulder. And he would say 'there there, Rob Brind'amour once told me that it's always darkest before the dawn'.

Excuse me. We are not all men here

 

[AlphaLackey]

Excuse me. We are not all men here

You give 'em hell, LJ.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Maurice would make a terrible doctor.

Disembodied head: "How bad is it doc?"
Dr. Maurice: "Day to day."
Disembodied head: "But my head was severed by a machete!"
Dr. Maurice: "It's not as bad as it looks."
Disembodied head: "I can't feel my toes..."
Dr. Maurice: "We'll list you as probable for tonight's game. We can just mount your head on a toboggan and slide you out onto the ice."

Dr. Maurice: "I don't know how to say this, but Jacob Trouba.. is dead."
Trouba: *groans*
Dr. Maurice: "Wait, no, not dead, the other thing!"

 

[wpgsilver]

Excuse me. We are not all men here

Yeah!
We made very clear that kiwi is a woman!

 

[Romang67]

I blame all those who said that we could be fine this season if we didn't get hit badly by injuries.

 

[JustGivingEr]

Dr. Maurice: "I don't know how to say this, but Jacob Trouba.. is dead."
Trouba: *groans*
Dr. Maurice: "Wait, no, not dead, the other thing!"

4:45 - 5:12

Ok, this isn't the END of the world (although it still sucks)

Enstrom will hopefully be back in a couple weeks (only a few games away)
The rest of our team (esp. goalies) are playing pretty well
Compare this to yesterday where we were happier about our outlook: the only difference is Trouba - is he alone really the difference between being great and terrible?

I think we can get through this.

Yes.
At the same time, if Trouba and Enstrom were out and we lost Bogo, it would be devastating.
With Buff moving back to D, we still had 2 two top four dmen on our team. Now we don't.

I'm not saying we are going to go on a huge losing streak, BUT losing Trouba is not like losing any other player at this time.

Exactly. Yesterday, we had 2 pairings that could handle big tough minutes. Now we have one. And if Chiarot starts to struggle... Oy vey.

 

[chancemc]

so does he have a concussion or what? sure sounds like it. i bet hes done for the year honestly if there sitting him out 8 weeks already

That looks fun lemme try.

Does he have lupus? Sure sounds like it. I bet he's done till 2019. I mean, why else would they sit him for so long.

 

[chancemc]

welp. probable for tonight too out for 6 weeks. i wouldnt put it past them if hes out till 2019

 

[JC Numminen]

They need to make a trade.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Excuse me. We are not all men here

 

[Bob E]

Yup.

We just can't trust PoMo and his injury updates one bit. Clitsome back in tonight, ya right. Guy is likely retiring tomorrow.

 

[StronGeer]

They need to make a trade.

At what cost though?

 

[KingBogo]

Heard about Trouba being out on the ride home from work. Wow that was a kick in the *****. It will be a real test for this team to hold up with 3 top d-man injured. Sure hoping Enstrom, Bogo or both get back a little sooner than hoped.

And if nothing else the next time someone thinks it is a good idea to trade away a top defenseman, remember you can't have too many good defenseman.

 

[Bob E]

They need to make a trade.

Player for player JC? Now you're talking crazy.

 

[winnipegger]

LadyJet I hope you can forgive me. We all say things we don't mean/ are ignorant of in these dark times.

 

[JC Numminen]

At what cost though?

Thats the million dollar question.

I dont think we are completely screwed, but we are getting very close to that point, IMO. We need a top 4 D man. We dont have ONE if you count Buff as a forward who is only playing down due to emergency. Ben Chariot is a top D man on this team
