I know they don't owe us anything, but still, it'd be nice if they adopted a policy that didn't make the North Korea Ministry of Information seem open and forthcoming with details by comparison.

Part of me wonders if Penner feels insulted that he (probably) hasn't received any offers despite all of these preseason injuries. Part of me thinks he doesn't give two ***** and he's enjoying being rich.

You know what they say, "it's never too late".I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
Frankly this was not even worth the effort to read. We know he had surgery, where the area was, and how long he's out. Your comparison is just downright silly. Actually beyond silly.

Gotta love the Airplane reference!
Personally, I'm beginning to think this team needs a professional to handle this bad juju

One day next week
Boll, Gaborik, Horton... All of those guys have had injury issues going back many years, to previous teams even. I think if the Jackets have more than the normal rate of guys with major core injuries, it might be because Jarmo has shown a willingness to acquire injury-prone players.
Prout too, right?
He didn't acquire Prout, Boll, or Savard.
And I'm not as familiar with injury issues for Cracknell, Hjalmarsson, Hartnell, etc.
Prout's not on Jarmo, but Boll I think is. He gave him a huge extension despite Boll's inability to stay in the lineup (or play competent hockey, but let's leave that aside).

Sorest of them all
I had hernia surgery in November. Couldn't skate again until February, though I know my recovery time is nowhere near the same level as a professional athlete.
Hope Dubinsky recovers quickly and gets to 100%. The last thing we need is half the year without him.

I can only hope that halfway through the season we can say "Dubi's injury was a blessing in disguise because ______"
I doubt Jarmo has even given a second though to DMac since the end of last season. Dime a dozen player.
Even with all the injuries it's not as if DMac could have played up in the lineup or contributed anything more than his usual ham-and-egger duties. Guy had no versatility and the hands of a stone gargoyle. Even though Testy is a bottom six player, he at least has the skills and ability to play up in the lineup or even contribute on a PP if guys are out with injury.
Perhaps. However we brought back Skille.
As far as the last part, MacKenzie might not be anything close to an all-star but your player evaluation skills are total crap.

Concur, unfortunately. While I think the "OMG we lost DMac" issue is very easily potentially overblown, he's still much more valuable than the above rebuttal would suggest. Consistent reliability is a rare and wonderful quality.
I don't agree with a lot of what you say but I'm with ya on this 1. I think you refer/consider too many guys as "ham-and-eggers", but Mackenzie def is 1 of those guys.
Even Skille is on a whole different level offensively when it comes to Mackenzie. That says a lot right there. I also think Mack's worth to our team the last couple years, or if he were still on the team, is way overblown. We have plenty of guys(Dubi, Anisimov, Foligno, Letestu, Calvert, Jenner) who can play the PK just as good or better than him while bringing an offensive element that he cant bring. The amount of defensively capable forwards/centers we have is the reason we have no use for him. One guy I've left out so far thats the kicker is Chaput. Personally, besides a little extra speed and "tenacity", I think Chaput is a way better option than Mackenzie.
I normally agree with a lot you have to say, and agree that most of the time IHZ is pretty terrible at evaluations but I think he's right about Mackenzie. Tropp and Mackenzie ARE "ham and eggers". No use on our team at all. In 2006 they would have helped us but not now. Letestu, Boll, Skille, Dano, Gibbons, Rychel, Anderson, hell even probably Cracknell are all better options.

DMac's goals produced per 60 minutes at ES was 6th on the team last season and 4th on the team in 2010-11. He was 8th in this category in 2011-12 and 2013-14

While I'd certainly never label DMac as a "goal scorer", his productivity was more than acceptable for the role that he played.
In the "did you know" department, DMac was named an Asst Cptn on the Panthers.
