Injury Report: Demers out "a couple weeks" with knee injury

[Mosby]

Hammer is back soon but this sucks. Hopefully we add something instead of using Ness and Bush and other Tucson veteran trash.

God damn it man

Damn! Demers was doing a good job on that pairing too. He's had some bad luck with his injuries last season and this one apparently.

 

[Prarievarg]

Shit!

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Team Twitter now says he's "week to week," which makes it seem a little longer-duration than the OP.

“Might require minor surgery to clean up”

I’d put it at near to when Hjalmarsson returns in about four weeks.

They also said that Hammer has started skating and going through some skill practice. It sounds like he's closer than 4 weeks

Too bad, our D now looks scary:

1st Pair: 2d(Goose)2d(Chych)
2nd Pair: 2D(OEL)AHLer(take your pick)
3rd Pair: AHL/AHL

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Yep, not sure why they wouldn't call up Capobianco.

 

[SCT]

Not sure why they called up Russo. He has been Tucson's 4th best D behind Capo, Gross, and Mayo. Maybe even Dineen. IMO its not particularly close either.

Right hand shot.

Right hand shot.

If you're looking for a RHD both Gross and Mayo would be a better option IMO.

Curious to see who plays with OEL. You either give him Oesterle and then limit the last pair to 10 minutes, or you give him one of the AHLers and see if you can get a bit more balance.

I assume that can't be rushed. Want it to grow strong before he goes out there again.

Gross and Mayo are helping Tucson. Russo isn't as integral a piece either there or here, so he's ideal to be the 7th D here.

Damn. That really was the worst game of his career as a Coyote. Haha. Caused a goal, took a stupid penalty, chickened out of a fight, and got his ass whipped anyway, then blew out a knee. Jeeze. Bad game for Demers.

 

[Mangosteen]

It was great him walking away from that fight! The penalty given to the other team won us the game. should of been a 5 min.

Hard to see what happened. The other guy was so aggressive, it wouldn't surprise me if he was the one to remove the gloves from them both, but I didn't see. So. Demers was really not interested. And as you say, well played.

 

[Summer Rose]

Week to week? See you next season, Jason.

It was smart to generate an instigator penalty. I commend Demers for ensuring Gilbert got the extra two. But once the gloves were off, Demers got his ass whipped. Haha. He drew the penalty for waiting, not for losing.

Next decade, actually.

Doom!

 

[Jagged Ice]

Damn. Can't put Hayton in that slot.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Damn. Can't put Hayton in that slot.

OT, yeah, but whoever said we've only suited up 13 forwards all year...we're the only ones under 15 still, I think. (!) Chayka probably had a much higher over/under of our "top 12" missing games by now than the total of 14 Hayton's played in.

Either way, it's critical Oliver steps up his game immediately.
