I am just as excited about Fabbro/Carrier coming back as Forsberg. We need them BADLY.

Will be interesting to see what the defensive lineup ends up being. A lot of options but none I see as being the clear obvious choice.

 

[LCPreds]

If Fabbro comes back I don't see Carrier getting back into the lineup. Could be wrong/blind.

Hard to say. Hynes was super impressed with him. Just depends on if he has that attitude about losing your spot to injury or not.

What would a fully healthy defense look like? Maybe something like this:

Josi - Fabbro
Ekholm - Carrier/Ellis
Harpur - Ellis/Carrier

Benning/Boro/Guddy/Sbisa

I’d put carrier with Ekholm and Ellis with harpur. Each pairing would be competent and have an able puck mover

 

[adsfan]

Since a team carries 7 Dmen:

Josi - Fabbro
Ekholm - Ellis
Harpur - Carrier

Gudbranson

You have size and speed on each pair.

herzausstein makes a good point about having a good puck mover in each pair.

Benning/Boro/Guddy/Sbisa

I would do that, but I suspect we'd still get Gudbranson in over Carrier. 40 years of watching NHL coaches coach makes me expect that. Prove me wrong, Hynes.

 

[Kat Predator]

Sbisa was a real steal, eh?

 

[OldFan]

What the heck happened to him? It was quick and apparently serious.

NHL.com says that Forsberg, Fabbro, Carrier and Arvidsson are day-to-day.

Perhaps some of them will be able to play tonight?

Sheesh, biggest game of the season perhaps, getting almost everyone back. Feels ripe for us to drop a gigantic turd...one of those 3-0 less than 10 minutes in type of games.

Yeah, worrisome. We have seen that movie before.

That's upper body ... day to day.

All the returnees played pretty well.

Forsberg was banging. The PP looked better.

The HRD line with Richardson replacing Cousins was probably the best line on the night, Richardson didn't get returned to PK duty or take any faceoffs, but I thought he chipped in and was a little more noticeable than I anticipated.

And Carrier looked good, he seems to pair well with Ekholm. As much as I've always wanted to switch Ellis away from Josi, it doesn't seem like Ekholm-Ellis is really any fix for that... it would be funny if Josi-Ellis ended up actually being the best we can do with Ellis. At least they gave it a try. Still want to see what Josi-Fabbro / Ekholm - Carrier / somebody - Ellis would look like.

 

[Aardvarksson]

Ellis is +7 since he returned from injury

Ellis is +7 since he returned from injury

And that just goes to show how wrong that stat can be without context. He's played pretty bad in his own zone but others have bailed him out. Part of the problem with his defensive zone play is how hard he's pushing to score points and that gives him the positive numbers for the +/-.

And that's why I hate that the Norris trophy goes to the highest point total for defensemen. Look how well having two Norris winners is working for San Jose.

It reminds me of that last game against Carolina. We were all over Ellis in the GDT because of the bad plays he made. But he also scored 2 goals and was +2 because some of his bad plays were on PK and some of them he got bailed out on. So if you just read the stats line on that game, it looks like he was excellent and the rest of our team sucked. Whereas watching the game he was one of our worst players. There were 55 shots against Saros. Some of that is thanks to Ellis. But luck of the draw, Juuse (and others) managed to bail him out.

Or against Tampa where he assisted on a goal for them behind the net.

I came across that stat somewhere and thought it was curious. He has the highest +/- over the past 5 games.

 

[Predsanddead24]

I should have said it like... the only way we bring Richardson in is if we've already clinched a playoff spot with a week left and are resting guys, right?

But jinx-logic is weird... if you mention a negative thing, then you jinx it into happening. If you mention a positive thing, it works the opposite way? Damn, now I've REALLY done it...

As it turns out you did jinx Sissons

 

[herzausstein]

I'd really love to see what the team would looks like if they were all healthy at one time. Unfortunately, I don't think that's going to happen. We get a couple back (Forsberg, Carrier, Richardson) then a couple go out with injuries (Arvidsson, Cousins last game, Sissons this game). I think Forsberg Joey Tolvanen has looked good once they get into the offensive zone. Trenin Sissons Olivier looks great. That leaves us tinkering with the middle 6. Jarnkrok Granlund Kunin have been great in stretches. Cousins Haula Duchene have had a good couple games here. I just don't know where to fit players
