Yep..would be great if he could sub in for Trotman tomorrow and help us push the puck in the O zone and keep it there, which was a major problem against Detroit yesterday...

the fact that he was skating with the team, maybe game 2 or 3 of the first round...If we are playing Isles that should be terrific..with aging Sid and Geno, Letang's role and importance has really increased significantly.....
We may not be playing the Isles if both he and/or Dumo do not play before the end of the RS...

My posts are jokes. And hockey is just a game.

But I thought Letang was done for the season, people on this forum were adamant?!?
Geno back is great to see, hopefully this will be the jolt we need to finally secure that pesky playoff spot.
Adamant or concerned?
Dumo being hurt is troubling. I'm sure he'll play in the game 1 of the playoffs but circumstances being what they are we still need one more win to ensure we get there. Hopefully Washington helps us tomorrow but we can't count on that.

This has nothing to do with Letang vs Dumo, but I feel like things are less hectic when Dumo is in. That's a HUUUUGE loss for us if Dumo is out

I've seen most every game but I swear I have zero memory of playing the Islanders this season?
I don't mind this. As long as it was one of Rust/McCann on L2 LW, Sully is getting it right.
Perhaps getting McCann back also will jolt Sid out of cruise control mode.
But, end of the day, these lines are best for business, especially if Phil plays like he gives a crap at 5 on 5.

I wouldn’t be encouraged by rumors coming out that he reinjured his neck.

Not to send people in panic mode but it's a common injury in wrestling that ends people's careers.

But we have known all along that it was almost certainly a neck injury and that it could be season ending. The fact that he showed up for practice and talked to the media is encouraging, considering the constant doom and gloom rumours on this forum .

A dressed Letang doesn't necessarily mean a healthy Letang. Same goes for Geno. They're surely going to be banged up if they play. To be fair though, a Letang and Geno at like 10% health are better than Trotman and Blueger in their respective positions. Not that I dislike Blueger (Trotman can chill in the AHL for all eternity imo) but he's not exactly scoring line center material.

I'd like the lines if AJ was in for Wilson. I know NHL coaches and front office guys love their grit, but there's no way I'd play Wilson over AJ. A Blueger-Cullen-AJ fourth line would be terrific.
I suppose that's a relatively minor issue though. Glad to see McCann back with Sid and Jake.
