Backlund week to week on IR because of the same abdominal issue he was dealing with in preseason

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Uh, I posted it first.

 

[CraigsList]

Wow, we are already getting hit with the injury bug, aren't we?

Backlund's preseason injury is still hurting him. Hopefully he comes back when he is ready.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Backlund listed as week-to-week, put on IR.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Uh, I posted it first.

[CraigsList]

Lol, move mine then.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Happy to see this, but part of me wants to see Sven.

Waaahhhh

I wanted to break a story

Everything is going as expected.

Eichel here we come!

We are getting hit hard with injuries on key roster players.

Excited for the call up of Ferland, but with another center down, you would think that Reinhart or Knight should of came up instead? That's just me.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

I am actually disappointed in you, Hrudey guy. FFF. Whatever.

Lol, they can merge mine into yours.

Personally, I dislike Max Reinhart on offence - I find he doesn’t have that great of a scoring touch. His skating is all right, but I think he excels defensively.

I would think Byron will play centre

Glad to see this opportunity for Ferland arise. Wonder which centres will get to play their natural position.

Flames currently have Stajan, Colborne, Monahan, Granlund, Byron, Bouma, and Jooris who can all play centre.

Slightly off-topic, but at this point I have to wonder just where Baertschi lies on the Flames' depth charts.

At first I was like...

Backlund week to week on IR because of the same abdominal issue he was dealing with in preseason

but then...

Backlund being injured is basically like having your favourite show cancelled without any explanation or warning.

With Backlund, Stajan and Colborne out, #Flames have 1 player who’s taken more than 12 faceoffs: Monahan. Inexperienced up the middle

Yeeeeeeesh
