Is he in the lineup today? Puck drop in about 10 minutes, by the way

I would assume so, but they don't really tell us much.Curious if anyone has any info on Justin Kloos. Doesn’t look like he has played since 2-8. Did he get injured?
AHL injury reports are like chasing high school whispers. Since there is no roster cap, teams don’t need to give information by putting players on IR lists, they just make sure they have enough players to ice a lineup and tend not to make formal announcements of injury status. Most times we find out by the radio broadcaster mentioning something in passing. So, no, no current information on Kloos , alas.Curious if anyone has any info on Justin Kloos.

Zilch just announced Dotchin, Kloos, and Gazdic are out with minor injuries, while Sideroff is out for the year. Sustr is a healthy scratch (lol)
Not for the whole game, but he was certainly trying to get SOMETHING lit for the Gulls' offense.Did I just read what I read correctly? Eakins pulled the goaltender down 5-2 with 9:29 left in regulation.

There appears to be some kind of agreement, if not formal outright affiliation, with ECHL Tulsa -- that's where the majority of our ECHL callups have come from, and where most of the people sent down have gone this season, IIRC.$1.3M for a guy who would be playing for our ECHL team if we had an affiliate. What a terrible signing.
It’s ballsy, and probably wouldn’t work most nights, but I can understand the reasoning. Or, I can imagine what he might have been thinking...
Think of it like this: When the team scores a goal, do they look more energized immediately after? More often than not, it seems to be the case, right? There is a morale aspect to scoring a goal. I don’t know if you can quantify it, but it’s certainly visible, right?
At a guess, that may have been what he was trying to do. Score a goal, get that emotional boost, and see if you can capitalize on it and bring the game even closer. 9 minutes is a lot of time, for a 1 or 2 goal game when your team suddenly has the momentum.
The downside, of course, is that 3 goals is not insurmountable in that same span. Difficult, but very possible. But, if your strategy fails, you’re now down by 4, and the game is realistically over. You would be removing any real chance of your team mounting a comeback with that move. Or you’d be creating a situation where they have a better chance, but the odds would probably say the negative result is more likely.
