Injury Report: Andy DTD with kneee injury

[member 262271]

kneeeeeee noooooooooooooooooo

 

[rumman]

other than carrying 3 goalies I don't know what else Dubas could have done, he made the best of a no win situation imo.

 

[rumman]

hopefully Sparks shows his worth tonight.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Am I the only one not overly worried about this? They won't rush Andy back in with any sort of injury. They're off to a good start in the standings and this now gives them a chance to evaluate Sparks a bit more.

They play tonight, Thursday, Saturday, and then not again until next Wednesday. Lots of time to get Andy rested.

 

[Garbs]

Two unsigned FA goalies, as far as I can tell, are Steve Mason and Kari Lehtonen. I have no idea if they are in shape, or whether Lehtonen is even on this continent. But if Freddie’s problem is more than a tweak, it might be worth exploring these options

Oh my god, it's almost as if there's better goaltenders than Curtis Mcelhinney literally lying around anywhere.

 

[Warden of the North]

You keep 3 goalies to start the year.

Especially when Justin Holl has played zero games this far

Thats some amazing hindsight

 

[Faltorvo]

You don't carry 3 goaltenders. It negatively impacts their ability to even practice properly. Every goaltender, general manager, coach, skater, analyst, and water boy will tell you this.

How are you a fan of hockey and not know this?

well at least some in here are keeping sane

how about we see how this all plays out before we freak out?

it is ONLY day to Day

Nah, we are tanking for Hughes now.

 

[BertCorbeau]

It'll be funny if the Canes waive McBackup once Darling is back and the Leafs reclaim him.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Dubas caught with his pants down here. No excuse to have this lack of depth, sorry. Scary.

Lol how is this on Dubas. We were going to lose two goalies regardless of who was chosen.

 

[Faltorvo]

Nah, we are tanking for Hughes now.

i would be fine with that

[PromisedLand]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It’s f***ing Hainsey the way he fell on Freddie during the game

f*** am so pissed

 

[hotpaws]

he could have waived Pickard earlier in camp and if he didn't clear could have run with 3 goalies

without injuries i doubt both would have been claimed but Dubas would/should have known teams had injury problems and shouldn't have waived both

 

[mikeyz]

Cue the "Dubas screwed up" comments.....NOW

Whoever says that isn't wrong until Sparks proves them otherwise

 

[sxvnert]

Lol how is this on Dubas. We were going to lose two goalies regardless of who was chosen.

Its on him for choosing the wrong goaltender especially one who has zero chance of ever developing as a future starter.

 

[Muston Atthews]

This is exactly why we picked Sparks lmao. If Andy goes down for a longer period of time you want a guy who can handle a starters workload... like the AHL goalie of the year

 

[mikeyz]

Explain to me exactly how the lack of depth is Dubas fault?

Yeah!.... It's not like he's the GM or anything!.........

 

[Lansdown]

I picked up Sparks in my pool. Gotta give him the keys and see what happens.

 

[AppsSyl]

How can you justify letting UFAs walk for nothing because you are going for it, but then pick your back up based on the future in mind instead of that same going for it mentality? I mean your back up only can influence 40-50 pts of your season (20 to 25 starts). Lol.....Not that important right?

yup

I wouldnt be surprised at all to be honest

The only thing Dubas could have done was keep McEhinney or Pickard over Sparks.

Two of them were getting claimed off waivers in every situation (all 3 required waivers).

You can question his selection - but the lack of depth is not his fault.

 

[JadedLeaf]

D

Dubas gambled they wouldn't both get claimed, he lost. That's fine, but we are running 8 D so he had that option, and if he felt they would've been claimed, it was there without detracting from the team. Anyways, I'm judging his moves one by one, his handling of the goalies is in the minus column for me.

Dubas knew they would get claimed, just like 95% of us did. What he gambled on was that Sparks was the best option of the three and we've yet to see if that's true or not.

those have literally nothing to do with each other. For one thing, Dubas wasn't in charge of the team when they decided to keep our rentals for the playoff run.
