Injury Report: Cody Ceci - Suspected high ankle sprain - done for season?

[Wafflewhipper]

I'm petrified that it will be Marincin in the lineup, over Liljegren. Somebody reassure me otherwise.

Liljegren will be in

 

[Wafflewhipper]

If Liljegrin is not brought up it means that they don’t want to risk having 2 rookie d men on their roster....or they just don’t value him that highly,at least not yet.

That indicates two things instantly. Morgs injury is hurting us and two we need another veteran defenseman. Rookies need insulation and i see the overhyped expectations on our pkayers. Sandin and Liljegren deserve insulation to succeed. All the call ups are a form of insulation because it adds to their confidence and comfort level.

Dubas is going to trade for defense. The more steady they are defensively and veteran presence is likely favoured. Dubas is a rookie himself . He needs to learn and has. I think we might see a shift in his philosophy towards how he likes the composition of his team’s ingredients.

They should be nervous about two rookies in the lineup. Its how Keefe reads it and manages it that matters. I trust keefe to do that.

Would trying to bring Hainsey back make any sense? Not sure about his OTT contract.

Cody Ceci say hello to Robidas Island

I mean, I was going to suggest a catapult. But perhaps you're suggesting the target.

 

[MyBudJT]

He has been reliable, but when he craps the bed he goes into overdrive dysentery.

And when other Dmen crap the bed, not many people take notice...

 

[TheScandal89]

I like to assume Liljegren will be in aswell but its no guarantee. The PK is gonna be pretty weak with 2 of Dermott, Barrie, Sandin or Liljegren in.

Thats why, unfortunately, Marincin will probably play. Sandin or Dermott probably play the right side.

We need a defensive defenseman pretty badly, and the prospect system is full of just the opposite

 

[The Masters]

thank god

this guy doesnt deserve to play another game this season

Failing the ability to get a guy with term, it really wouldn't be the worst idea.

The problem is you can only really do it if one of Rielly/Ceci are going to miss the rest of the year, and he'll likely require another top 90 pick.

I think we've seen the end of Ceci in a Leafs uniform

Well, I think we can say with some certainty that Mo' isn't coming back until the start of the playoffs, so there's that.
BUT Ugh! No more picks out the door, thank you.

Jeremy Bracco...come on down!

Liljegren is better than Marincin on the PK and his defensive game is better than his offense.

Muzzin-Holl first unit
Dermott-Liljegren 2nd unit

Barrie and Sandin for the PP, its fine. I'm ready for a Sandin-Liljegren pairing at the NHL level.

 

[Golden_Jet]

I thought you couldn’t go on LTIR until you’ve missed 10 games or 23 calander days

 

[stickty111]

Yeah he's done.

 

[Morbo]

Robidas Island??

A 1-way ticket.

Opposite.

If you go on LTIR, you have to miss 10 games or a certain number of days...I thought it was 30.

 

[Stephen]

Feels like a mutually agreed upon Robdias Island here.

We're shutting you down, go home, enjoy your money. Don't come back.

And dont complain when your contract gets traded somewhere

 

[seanlinden]

Can a player go on a conditioning stint to the AHL while still on LTIR? Or do they need to come off LTIR in order to do so?

Hainsey & DeMelo for Ceci, Bracco + 2nd?

 

[Zybalto]

Arguments on his 5v5 play aside, its gonna hurt to lose one half of maybe the best PK pairing in the league this year.

 

[Zybalto]

I'm excited to see Lil in though. Hes been under the radar down there and hope he can adapt as well as Sandin has.

Don't be surprised it the Leafs go with Marincin for a little bit.

But I'm sure Liljegren will get called up and tested pre-deadline.

 

[Cynical]

Is it just me or do players seem to conveniently get injured when someone returns? This time around the player was sucking and probably on his way to being benched.

Ceci was one of our worst PK'ers this season.

He just had the misfortune of playing with Rielly so often early in the year when Rielly was really off and had brutal numbers with everyone. (It came out later he was playing hurt)

Muzzin/Ceci have been elite this year and are up there with the best (they have the lowest goals against/60 of any top pair)
