[Hurt]

Another one bites the dust.

Injury bug hitting us hard up and down the lineup. If Phaneuf goes down for some reason, season is over.

 

[nsleaf]

Does not matter. Team won't even miss him.

 

[SprDaVE]

Orr hasn't done much but McLaren has been even worst.

Meh.

 

[Mr Scarface*]

I think Colton Orr has been injured the whole season. He has fought some yeah, but still, only his skating game and some solid hits have been working good. The man hasn't fought as much everybody thought so. He's been nursing some sort of injury like elbow the whole time. Now it's probably worse or not. He might be a healthy scratch too. Don't ever, ever trust if a ****er is placed on IR that he is truly injured. Sometimes these moves are out of RESPECT. Carlyle respects his players and veterans so much he gives them that IR stamp. Some of these situations are not true. They are resting, getting ready and gaining more energy. Energy for all those important hard games. Regular season games don't mean jack dirt.

 

[Kessley Snipes*]

This is actually beneficial to the team.

I hope he was injured the entire season besides that first game. Otherwise he has become a useless player. If he doesn't fight, there is no reason he should be in the nhl.

Agree so hard.

Respect is important I agree.
As for the rest of the team, they will be ready.
Rielly on msg from Carlyle yesterday: "He told me to play the game hard & if I'm chipping pucks off the glass chip it hard"
They get it.

You're right. I'm sure the D'Amigo-Smith-McLaren/Ashton line will be lighting the lamp...

 

[AustonMitchWilly]

Have we ever looked for scoring there? Nope.

That being said, FML can still fight and Smith is more beneficial than Orr. So is DAmigo, so is Ashton. So is Holland.

Very glad to hear Rielly is doing it big now. The talent is right there and this guy has guts... the way he has courage to take role during these games is exceptional.
Mistakes happen to everybody. Carlyle knows that and doesn't give a flying dirt of that. Carlyle's players always know that this coach doesn't bite non if a mistake happens. If Carly's soldiers are doing it hard enough and giving all that positive energy then all is good. Carlyle doen't even think about winning or losing: Just the effort. Carlyle doesn't want to win games. That's his code really: Show up with hard effort. That very often concludes into points... and eventially to Stanley Cups.
It's an automatic transformation really.

Except for the ones you need to win.

 

[mcleex]

Time for MacLaren to earn his keep. When is the last time he has gotten into a scrap

 

[Koolboss]

Orr is hurt omg, what are we gonna do?
what a useless piece of ******
not really but who cares

 

[Pitt the Elder]

You're right. I'm sure the D'Amigo-Smith-McLaren/Ashton line will be lighting the lamp...

They have a better chance of scoring than soup can-Smith-soup can

 

[Mr Scarface*]

Truth. There are some. But there are also those "Resting, relaxation, free nights off games" carlyle gave his players already this season. Many other great coaches also do that there.

 

[jimmycarter]

hopefully he will be ready in time for sochi.

thats the thing, hes wanted to scrap plenty of times, no one will dance...

no they really don't. but whatever you say.

It's been tough this year .. Then again Detroit's got Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Helm, DeKeyser, and Bertuzzi all out so we're not the only ones hurting

 

[glg51*]

Lmao yeah I'm sure they'll dominate on the score sheet. Just added all 3 to my fantasy team

 

[StuckOutHere]

hopefully he will be ready in time for sochi.

Finally opens up a spot for Crosby to squeak onto the team if he misses any serious time.

I look at your username and I look at your little blurb about Corsi and I can only conclude that you are either a troll, or belong to the "watch the game" crowd that doesn't understand the simple concept behind possession statistics.

If you belong to the latter than I invite you to provide me with one practical benefit that Orr provides to this team.

Note: A practical benefit excludes fighting.

So true.

I'm part of the crowd that understands offence doesn't come from the 4th line and thus you shouldn't expect it. Our fourth line right now won't put up more offensive possession stats than the Orr/Mclaren did. In fact I'd go out on a limb and say they won't get scoring chances in the offensive zone even if they have possession. Possession only matters if you're doing something with it. Orr and Mclaren provide a physical, intimidating style of hockey that can quickly diffuse a situation if one occurs. Ashton will get his nose broken
