GDT: Feb 25 - Flames @ Devils [5:30pm on SN]

[Yung Rotini]

If Gio is in fact injured for a few games (maybe for precautionary reasons), it's a good test for our team.

Hopefully the team doesn't fall apart like last year.

It doesn't seem like the injury is 17 games long though.

True.

Any update on injury?

 

[The Gnome]

silence is not good. Guys on the Fan are saying that the atmosphere in the room after the game was pretty somber for a win. Not a good sign at all.

[GAMO1992]

that does not sound good, not good at all. I'm thinking it's a bit more serious than we thought....

 

[Calculon]

 

[InfinityIggy]

I do not like the sound of that. Not at all.

 

[CraigsList]

Good for Ramo. If I do remember correctly, he got hot down the stretch towards the ending of last year too.

Yup. When it became apparent that Berra wasn't the guy, Ramo stepped in and gave us a pretty decent run after the Olympic break.

Props to the young guys and Hiller for doing the optional practise

 

[Master Bill]

It's all Hartley's master mind-game with the Islanders, to get them to be all complacent and think "Giordano's out so we will beat the **** out of them", but to their surprise Giordano will pop out of nowhere during the game and beat the **** out of them.

 

[Taranis]

Well if hes considered a game time decision that's a good sign. Honestly despite watching the game I just remember we scored an empty netter and I got distracted and the next thing I know every ones saying he got injured and I'm like wha..?

Did you catch Ramo's comments after the games? He did the optional skate yesterday because he was bored

 

[DRL]

If he is a potential game time decision sounds like not a long term injury. Good news.

 

[Lunatik]

I do not like the sound of that. Not at all.

what? why? game time decision is good news, it means it's unlikely it is serious.

 

[DCDM]

A May Ray Bay Bay?

 

[Bouma Fett*]

If its game time, sit him even if he's OK just for one game. Make sure. Its a game our odds of winning aren't great of regardless against an eastern team
Make sure he won't aggravate something

 

[InfinityIggy]

Sounded more to me like he was saying they wouldn't have the evaluation until later, although them not getting it until tomorrow seems odd. So yeah, I get it could be good news.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys, I was just listening to the radio, he's not a "game time" decision per se. Right now, he's being called that because they don't know how serious the injury is. It's the same as saying a guy is day-day until he is further evaluated. It could very well be that he's out for a lengthy period of time. Derek Wills did not sound to optimistic about things this morning based on the "feel of the room". But that's just his opinion, so take that for what it's worth.

For all we know, that could be because the team hasn't seen or heard from Gio since yesterday so they're in just as much concern as we are.

Sounds like we need an optimism thread...

Really, his status is a total unknown right now. They are just saying he's a gametime decision because they don't know. Maybe he can play tomorrow, or maybe he's out 4-8 weeks, no one knows as of yet and probably won't until tomorrow.

I wonder how quick I would get perma-banned if I started one.
