You're right I forgot about him. Lots of stuff I have suppressed about that shit show of a seasonLooking up the pairings from last season and seeing Garrison's name is the one that blew my mind.
Completely forgot that dude played 17 games last season.
Yup. He played the right side a lot last year in Bake.3rd pairing minutes is the ticket.
According to Woodcroft Jones can play both sides.
It’s a shame about Mandog’s hand injury. As usual, he was sticking up for a teammate and giving his all every shift.
Hurry back Brandon!!

I have a bit of a thing with Rum...a carry over from my teens.
Rum and I dont get along.
Thats said I havent tried it with eggnog and I do really LIKE eggnog.
I am very open to trying a White Russian.
No chance Benning is coming out.I can’t really recall how Jones looked on the right side last season up here or if he plays that side in Bakersfield. I would like to see him in a position to succeed. There’s no reason he can’t have as much of an impact for us as Bear has this year. I just don’t see him playing over Russell so it’s likely if he gets in it has to be on the right side with Klefbom.
I feel like a D of
Nurse - Bear
Klefbom - Persson
Russell - Jones
Would be our best option just unlikely to see.
Jones.....why...Holland breaking with his stated policy....a good policy....hope there is a good reason!
I consider myself still fairly young, at least not old (I'm 32) and I love a good White Russian. It's very good, especially around this time of the year.jeezus guys - I thought some of you were as old as me - and never tried a white Russian?
It's essentially if you take a coke float and melt the ice cream, add some coffee flavour and some bite from the vodka and yummy!
This old fart approves! (of both the callup and the drink )
Perhaps your right. I thought Jones showed relatively poorly in camp. However he is moving the puck fairly well in the A. I guess Holland after talking to Woodward has decided to give him a shot after just the 13 games this season. Maybe the discussion was ---Manning is hurt ....Persson needs 30 games in the A to develop some better defensive instinct and work on skills.....but we need a 7th...What policy?
He has a history of over-ripening players in the AHL, and leaving them down for at least a season.
Jones has played in the AHL since as early as 2015-16 and has 124 AHL games and 17 NHL games where he played decent to good. He has 10 points in 13 games this far with Bakersfield.
He’s undoubtedly earned this call up. I’m confused why you’re upset with this move.
This is also his last year of waiver eligibility. The team needs to know what they have with him since there could be some interesting decisions to be made with the back end soon.Perhaps your right.

To be fair, Larsson wasn’t exactly knockin the cover off the ball at the time either.Matches up with the eye test quite well. Fine bottom pairing guy that got caved in as soon as they tried to move him up the lineup.
Hopefully he's taken some steps forward since camp where he was frankly quite bad.
