Injury Report: Dermott Shoulder Injury - Babcock plans back Saturday in Ottawa

[taurine330]

Dermott is on the 3rd pair in practice today!!!!

Yeehaaw!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Dermott is on the 3rd pair in practice today!!!!

Yay!

But he's paired with Marincin. Boo!

 

[FlareKnight]

Yay!

But he's paired with Marincin. Boo!

He's just holding the spot for Rosen.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

He's just holding the spot for Rosen.

I'd imagine Rosen won't play till Monday. He plays with the Marlies on Friday and Babs will probably want him to get a practice in with the team first so its likely one more game of Marincin on Saturday. Should be Holl though IMO.

 

[Loosie]

Yay!

But he's paired with Marincin. Boo!

Yes but with who they have available right now (Oz, Holl and him) he's really the 'best' option. He's been the better player out of those three (which is not that hard to do). So unless Rosen get called up he'll stay there until Gardiner is healthy.

 

[Burnie97]

Not exactly the place.... but just throwing it in here

 

[Burnie97]

And the Gardiner thread got taken out... so putting this here too... need these 2 back asap

After Saturday, I'm hoping we see:

Muzzin-Rielly
Dermott-Hainsey
Rosen-Zaitsev

Gardsie replaces Rosen for the final regular season game and into the playoffs.

[PromisedLand]

isn't this dermott's first full team practice? I hope both him and Gards are not being rushed back

 

[A1LeafNation]

Rielly Hainsey
Muzzin Zaitsev
Rosen Dermott

20 min each pair. Gardiner replaces Rosen when ready for a smooth transition.

I think he's been in full team practices for about a week now, but first with a non-contact jersey, and then not on an actual pairing. I think this is his first time on one of the top 3 pairs

 

[Buds17]

Definite upgrade to the blueline. Will be great to have him return with enough time to spare prior to the playoffs.

I don't think so. If anything they are taking longer than needed to ensure they are healthy.

 

[Loosie]

Dermott has been on the ice for a bit, it's the first time he's been slotted in with a line. Gardiner is still non-contact. Dermott will also have tomorrow and the game day skate on Saturday before getting back on the ice, plenty of time to determine if he's ready.

Lets gooooooooo

Our chances in the playoffs goes up a lot with these two in the lineup

 

[Jozay]

I hope Gardiner can get in a couple regular season games.

We start vs Boston on April 11th, so he has fair bit of time to recover.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Yeah I'm hoping Gardiner can get a game or two at the end of the season. Hopefully Hainsey gets a game or two off as well.

Did you watch the 1st Flyers goal? I did. Honestly I would not have Marincin on any pro team. He is at best an AHL level player. At best.

Oh thank you hockey gods.

Marincin is a very good AHL defenceman. He's easily a first pairing guy down there. He just doesn't have the next gear needed to be an NHL regular.

Did you also read the rest of what I said? I didn't say he's been good, I said he's been the best of the 'worst' of what we have up right now.

Rosen-Zaitsev

That actually could be pretty decent

 

[Trapper]

Be glad when Dermott is back.
If there is any silver lining (don’t want the kid hurt for sure) but he got a little rest, wasn’t part of bleeding goals against and should have some good jump at this time of the year.
