I like how there was no call on the play. Do we need to just hire a bunch of goods line Boston has?

 

[dj4aces]

Khan tweeted earlier that he's being put through the concussion protocol. I doubt we see him before next week, at earliest.

Who gets the call? Does ANYONE get a callup, at this point?

 

[Frk It]

Was really hoping he wasn't going to have to sit out any games

So who do we call up now? Does Jurco stay up?

 

[Bench]

Given this, I'd be happy with a couple of SO losses moving forward.

 

[Heaton]

Sounds like Sheahan will be called up.

 

[SoupNazi]

Per Khan:

Holland said they need a center and will decide tomorrow who to recall. Seems like Sheahan would be the guy.

 

[The Zermanator]

I'd rather Jarnkrok be called up than Sheahan. I think he'd fit more naturally in a top 6 position.

 

[Bench]

The youth movement marches forward!

 

[Heaton]

I'd be surprised if either were put into a top 6 position. I imagine Andersson will get a bump.

 

[detredWINgs]

Sheahan? Meh. I'm excited to see how much better he'll be than he was last time but at this point I think he'll top out career-wise in no better a way than Shawn Matthias has. Hoping I'm wrong but right now I'd rather have Ferraro get the call-up.

 

[dj4aces]

I'd like to see what Ferraro has to offer. At this point, it can't hurt.

 

[Bench]

I'd be surprised if either were put into a top 6 position. I imagine Andersson will get a bump.

Andersson as a #2 center. Now there's a rags to riches story that would rival Slumdog Millionaire.

 

[Vladdy84]

Should call up Toots. But I'm cool with Sheahan or Ferraro getting called up.

 

[detredWINgs]

I'd be surprised if either were put into a top 6 position. I imagine Andersson will get a bump.

Horrifying. But then again, I'm not on the Andy bandwagon at all. And sadly, he is the best option for the 2C position right now.

With how well Tatar and Nyquist have been, and how Jurco didn't look out of place in his debut, I think our lack of production speaks volumes about the importance of offensive center depth. Solid wingers don't cut it.

Helm. Andy. Glendening. Emmerton. Sheahan. Ferraro. Abdelkader in the past. I'm just really sick of the train of uncreative centers this organization has produced. This organization has produced just one 40+ point center in the past decade - Filppula. That's simply not enough.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Wings are really taking advantage of LTIR.

 

[Kronwalled55]

Datsyuk, Alfredsson, and the Griffins

IF we're resorting to that..... I'd almost rather see Jarnkrok/Ferraro get a shot. Since they can maybe provide more on a "skill line"

But can't really be mad if Sheahan gets called up. I expect/hope he's on the team next year.

 

[Bench]

Datsyuk, Alfredsson, and the Griffins

Maybe they can make one of those cultish bands like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

We need a center. Tootoo doesn't play center.

Any video or detailed description of the play? I am just now watching the Center Ice replay which is a TB feed.

They barely acknowledged anything happened and said it looked like Franzen had embellished. The quick reply they showed as a wide angle and didn't really show much.

 

[Detroit Sports*]

Sign Fedorov.

You'll get what is expected of an away feed. A single perspective of the play, and announcers that say "Gee, I don't know what happened there. Didn't see a stick."

Later in the third, you'll hear a Tampa announcer make a snide remark about one of their guys taking a random hit and not complaining about it like Franzen did.

(Yeah, I was stuck with the Tampa feed this evening)

Nothing from either Tampa nor FSD perspectives have been posted on Youtube yet.

We are starting to see the Griffins are NOT ready for NHL minutes!
