[Amazing Kreiderman]

This is Quinn's chance to move McLeod up

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Just when he started to get his groove on....this guy can't catch a break...

 

[Larrybiv]

OMG! Well thats just frickin' great. Once again, this kid just starting to feel his oats and he gets derailed. Wonder if he broke it when playing tough guy a couple times.
This really sucks wind.

 

[Mike in Houston]

That sucks. Hope it didn't occur during that post whistle scrum.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah that is what I was afraid of.

Time to move Chytil up.

 

[Justin17]

Is Zuc still out? If so Chytil may actually get moved up.

 

[nevesis]

Tough news, but we can weather the storm without him.

[Mac n Gs]

Perfect opportunity to move a kid up in the lineup, and quite frankly, there’s zero excuse not to give Chytil or Lias this chance.

 

[offdacrossbar]

opportunity .....

 

[Mike in Houston]

So is this now three injuries in three seasons? Was he hurt for a stretch last season? I know there was the core thing his rookie year.

 

[Ori]

What a sad turn of events recently we had almost 5 wins - if u ignore the game vs Detroit, lol.

Oh well we had an easy schedule recently so I expect other teams to get points in our division.. ..well on the table in general - I don`t like the rebuild options if we fail to tank this year and end up as a playoffs team.

- Buch had some great games before his injury so unfortunate for him.

And the Nuck team should win easy tonight vs injured Rangers with better defense and speciality team - PP stats.
So that should be a start of a losing streak - we can`t have good bounces all season.

 

[Good Intentions]

Played his best game since (?) ever on Saturday in Ohio...

Seemed to be exerting more effort (same can be said of Namestnikov - who had alwo been dinged up recently with numerous blocked shots).

Clearly there’s a correlation between engaging in the physicality of the game and injury. The price to keep you in the lineup also takes you out.

One thing is for damn sure, Lias better figure shit out fast because he was a deer in headlights at Columbus.

 

[Idlerlee]

In 4 years we'll still be talking about what Buch could have been had he not broken his thumb.

 

[Inferno]

Blech.... developmentally this is devastating.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Blech.... developmentally this is devastating.

Eh it’s a month and a half.

 

[Ail]

Bad luck Buchnevich. Plays best game, breaks thumb

Yes the call up was too early - he was developing quite well at Wolfpack.

This is a great opportunity for Vinni Lettieri to take by the horns and become the top 6 six player he's always wanted to be.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

The tank is back on.

 

[NewLife]

Time for Chytil to ball with non-scrubs. That will be fun. Sucks for Buch though after a nice little streak. Oh well time to do some abs boy

 

[NYR Viper]

The good news is that he can continue to work out his legs and core for a month and a half. This may actually be a blessing in disguise.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Sucks. Was just starting to play well too.
