Point is missing from warm-ups

 

[Hoek]

This is fine.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I mean, we're not playing for February 2nd against a non-playoff team, we're playing for April. If Pointer needs a day, give it to him.

 

[berlin]

What’s the point of not playing point? Is he injured?

 

[Fabiobest]

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Pointer hasn't looked like he's had his speed for a few games. So it makes sense to me.

 

[dechire]

Just win.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Sit him until he's fully healed.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Sit him until he's fully healed.

Yes, please. We need him healthy for the playoffs!!

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Sit him until he's fully healed.

probably one of those injuries which wont heal for months so you grin and bear it

 

[DFC]

This Point injury, given that it's popped up on the second day of a back-to-back, and wasn't mentioned until warm-ups, feels like an uber precaution. We need to get Callahan back in, the kids need reps, and if Point so much as sneezed on his way to the arena, I'm okay with sitting him. It's all about the long game this year. I think we might finally be doing this right.

ya pointer plays hurt a bit all the time 165 str8 games.... id say is probably a groin injury myself those can require surgery and you simply play through them so back to back give him a night offf

 

[Stormbreaker]

We can't get away from Pierre

Speculation is strong with this one.

 

[rangerrat]

Let's go Dom hold the fort!! Let's go Bolts!!

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Zibanejad has been on fire for the Rangers.

 

[Stormbreaker]

A line of Joseph Johnson Gourde could be a lot of fun.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Domingue with some big saves already

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

good positioning by dom

 

[DFC]

I have high hopes for this makeshift second line. Wouldn't mind seeing it as a 3rd line when Point gets back.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Yanni scoring Yanni-type goals

 

[Fabiobest]

OH MY GOURDE!!!

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Yanni on the board

 

[Hint1k]

Gourde!
