[Mr. Canucklehead]

It's been a long time coming but Woo has finally been recalled.

Someone must be banged up on the back end?

Interested to see him get some NHL time. Can any Abby fans comment on his play lately, I seem to remember reports weren't exactly glowing this year. This might be his last chance to show something.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Woo is a bit of a throwback, steady, physical defender that likes to lay the body. Outside of Wolanin, he's arguably been Abbotsford's top defensemen for about a year and a bit. Nice to see him finally get a call, hope he gets into a game. Maybe load management for Cole?

Wett Joo season

Hey look, Jett Woo has made it to the show. Great for him! He he gets into a game and shows well so I can be incredibly smug.

Interesting that they bring Woo up. With Zadorov and Soucy out, they leaves them with only 2 left-handers on the NHL roster. Friedman can play either side, however.

Weird call up.

Dare i say a trade is incoming?

Z is suspended and we already have too many RDs on the roster, Hronek, Myers, Juulsen and Friedman

My guess is someone is banged up.

My guess is someone is banged up.

Hronek winced and limped off the ice early against the capitals. Didn't seem to miss a shift. Cole has been struggling a bit, although then they'd only be icing one left-handed defenceman.

I think they are choosing to galvanize Woo with NHL experience to get him ready in case he is needed in the playoffs.

Wouldn’t be shocked if Bains gets a cup of coffee before the season is over for this reason too.

If our depth is called upon when it really matters—it’s better that they aren’t deer in the headlights when they first experience the show.

 

[Aqualung]

Woo was great earlier in the season but hasn’t been so sharp since taking a stick to the face. But I guess with Abby’s injuries on defense, he’s the next guy up.

MY BOY JETT WOO HAS BEEN FREED

LETS GOOOOOOOO

I agree. I'm hoping Toch really starts experimenting in that last 14 game stretch from mid-March onward.

Wolanin and Brisebois are out too - the left side is decimated.

Last night I was actually wondering if they would call someone up but realized the only left side options they had were Irwin and Cicek.

 

[IComeInPeace]

He has to clear waivers now if we try and send him back down, correct?

He has to play a certain amount of games.

Not unless he is on the NHL roster for 30 days or dresses in 10 games

 

[M2Beezy]

Play him cowards

 

[wonton15]

Chicago will be a great game to get him in beside Cole

 

[MS]

Somewhat surprising given that they called up Irwin last time when Woo was playing much better.

Woo has been better in the last couple weeks after having a big regression in Dec-Jan after taking a brutal crosscheck to the face.

Our organizational D depth is getting tested. Hronek got banged up, Myers is starting to look gassed again, Cole the same, Soucy hurt all year is starting to look like the Sutter acquisition without a massive overpay. Sucks cause he's looked good at times would be nice to see him get some traction here.

Juulsen after a really poor camp has grown in leaps and bounds which is great to see. On the farm Wolanin Brisebois Hirose is a big blow to Abby and our depth options.

Interested to see if they actually play Woo. I would think were shopping for a Dman on the cheap at the deadline

Strongly disagree here.

Soucy has been terrific and the two injuries that have caused him to miss most of the season have been bad-luck broken bones off shot blocks.

Nothing like Sutter who started poorly and then had all kinds of ongoing abdominal issues.

Soucy's season is just unlucky and I don't think that anything that's happens projects forward to future concerns.
