To sit in the press box.
Hunwick is going to play, no doubt about it. If he fails or another injury on the right side occurs, McIlrath would be called up and in the lineup, imo.

This sucks..
Our first line was so good I didn't even miss Stepan and now this happens.
At least we are getting off to a good start this time.

Of course. Great win punctuated by an injury. Put Klein up to the 2nd pair and then Hunwick with Moore? I don't know.
We don't have a first.
This sucks so much. Seriously. One game in and we are down two major offensive players. On a team with offensive concerns even with a healthy roster.

You could tell immediately he was really hurt. Oh well, he looked like hot, wet trash for the most part anyways. Good thing we have Tarase...er, ahem, McIlrath to step in. Couldn't look much worse.
I was actually pretty hopeful for Boyle when we signed him, but after watching him play for years while living in SJ, I guess I have to admit that many were right and he is not the same player. I know, I know, one game does not the player make, but Yikes he was bad. That Staal Boyle pairing is/was cringeworthy!

My instincts say 100 percent to go with Mcilrath. But my instincts are right 60 percent of the time...everytime.
Yeah I don't know why but I few like why not try him out now? Keep Klein-Moore together and then maybe put Mac Deisel with Staal? Again, I don't know. Was so pumped about this win. So deflating.

Change is good.
I really want to see ONE of McIlrath or Allen. Both Hunwick and Kostka (gag) are stopgaps at best - fine for one game, but when you know you're looking to cover a month plus of games, might as well throw one of the guys who actually has a future into the fire.

I think that Boyle should pull himself from the lineup when we face St. Louis! He's had some bad freaking luck against them .

There absolutely is doubt about it. If this was a day-to-day thing, Hunwick would certainly be the one to play. It's not. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone if they call up Allen or Mcilrath to play over the next 4-6 weeks.
Is Mcilrath that poor of a skater that he still cant get in the lineup?
I mean come on it's been 4 years now since we drafted him. I know it takes a long time for a defenseman to develop but if he doesn't get a chance it speaks volumes of his ability to compete in the nhl

Honestly, it would be great to at least see McIlrath and either put to rest the Fowler/Tarasenko hindsight, or prove we Jessimaned that pick...

Didn't expect all 18 skaters to stay healthy all season, bad timing but we've done well without a legit ppqb for how long now, what's another 6 weeks

Also, now who steps in on the PP? Hunwick seems to have a hard and accurate shot, but I don't know that he has the ability . If we had Fowler, we never would have signed Boyle. A face puncher taken so early is really not smart. Could have just signed a plug for that role. Also a face punching D seems a waste, since 5 minutes in the box just pushes our D harder.
(Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if McIlrath becomes at least a serviceable third pair guy. I'm not rooting for him to fail, the opposite really... I'm just getting nervous)

I'd hope for a guy with at least some kind of offensive spark. I think Hunwick would be the preference. I don't know about McIlrath, and Kostka did not look that great in the preseason aside from one or two games. Hunwick would be my choice with Kostka as the 7th.
Would anyone be interested in putting Staal with Girardi for old times' sake? I'd do that if a rookie comes up, reuniting Girardi and McD on the PK and in shut-down situations.

Rather grudging acknowledgement. Staal was pretty good against those big St. Louis forwards.

I'm not nervous yet, he's a long term commitment, if he doesn't make it next camp then i'd worry.
Sucks to finally have a decent RD on the PP and then lose him one game in for extended time. Better now than later, but i've said this twice now, lets hope we can keep this team healthy.

I doubt they want to experiment with Allen or McIlrath at this point. I think Hunwick comes in based on his experience and the fact that he is a smooth skating blueliner.
This is very unfortunate. We weren't the best offensive team to begin with and we lost our 1C and the top offensive D. How we'll score is beyond me.
