GDT: Game 25: CANES @ HABS | Ready | Nov. 27, 2018 730pm ET, TSN2, RDS

Lol. Tyler Myers gets super unlucky. Gets a broken leg by a P.K Subban shot and an injured knee from a Shea Weber shot. Not worth shedding a tear over him though. He hunted down Habs like a piranha and needed to suffer some karma.

So, HF, which Myers injury is the best? Subban's, or Weber's?

DAVID POILE


LMAO

The story goes that David Poile was in the stands when he got hit by a stray Shea Weber pass. I never thought I'd see a guy in a suit included in a list of hockey injuries caused by an on-ice event.

 

[Runner77]

when is Paul Byron due back? week to week? day to day?

I heard an RDS pundit say it would be by this weekend.

Food for thought ... friendly fire incoming:

Message is clear.....GET THE f*** OUT OF THE WAY


David Poile???.....

 

[Habaneros]

Kotkaniemi getting acquainted with the notion of friendly fire ...

Notice 2009 to 2014 no injuries from his shot.
Then from 2014 on every year someone goes down

 

[cajmonkey]

Really hope Weber doesn't kill Kotka in his first game back.

 

[Habaneros]

If the boys can halt the losing skid tonight ..A loss tonight could get us 3 points away from a possible Kakko...lol

That is when his shot was at peak calibration. As he gets older it fluctuates in accuracy.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Food for thought ... friendly fire incoming:

Half of them are his teammates...

 

[sansabri]

Weber with the hat trick.

 

[Runner77]

I DEMAND THE REPLAY

Hummm ... turns out there is tragic outcome to the story, not immediately suggested by the table of Shea Weber caused injuries:

Poile was struck by an errant Shea Weber pass during the Predators’ morning skate at Xcel Energy Center on Feb. 6, resulting in a fractured orbital bone and nose.

This was the initial report. Several surgeries later, it was determined that Poile would never recover sight in his right eye.



That's really unfortunate.

Oh God, just heard the corniest line from the above video in the voice-over by a Fox Reporter from WZTV. After he explains the obstacles facing Poile due to his lack of full vision, he goes on to say at 2:12:

"Still, Poile isn't losing sight of his vision for the Predators's franchise."

To his credit, Poile played along by joking: "Absolutely. I always had a vision for this franchise. It used to be a two-eyed vision, now it's a one-eyed vision. But maybe now I can be more focused with that one eye."

Props to Poile for soldiering on. That injury must have surely haunted Weber even if it was purely accidental.

 

[Runner77]

Half of them are his teammates...

Yup. Hence, the notion of friendly fire.

 

[Belial]

Now that someone mentioned it, I hope he doesn't injury Gally or Shawzie or Kotka if they're in front of the net...

 

[sheed36]

Choice of sneaking into a wildcard spot and likely out in 4 or 5 games in round 1 or getting a Kakko or another top end prospect I'll take the latter at this point. The Habs really need more top end young talent and the next 2 drafts is apparently very good so the Habs need to stock up for the next 2 drafts and then go for it.

If the Canes play like they did when the beat the "mighty" Leafs the Habs could be in tough tonight. 4-2 Canes tonight.

Needs more dancing pickles, IMO. You can never have enough dancing pickles.

I wonder if Ahlzer counts pickles before falling to sleep.

 

[Runner77]

So, HF, which Myers injury is the best? Subban's, or Weber's?

What would really be HF is someone mentioning how Bergevin lost a major trade to a guy who only has the use of one eye. Wait for it ... 3-2-1 ...

Honestly, nothing ever ceases to amaze me in here.

 

[Belial]

I wonder if Ahlzer counts pickles before falling to sleep.

Pretty sure he has better things to do...

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Pretty sure he has better things to do...

Pretty sure you missed the intent of the post

And there isn't that much to do on the long hours of the bus rides he'll get in the AHL

Welp, pucks have killed people in the stands. Shit just happens.

 

[peate]

Weber should improve our goal differential by 2. Prevent one and score one. Could make a big difference in a lot of close games.

He should get a nice ovation on his first shift.

We need this game in a big way. 4-1 Habs.

Go Go

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Playing against Weber in practice is gonna be very useful for Kotka. Hope Weber teaches him a few tricks on how to counter big Ds.

Markov moved the needle 0,50 in both directions, and didn't reach even a full +1 tallied together and our win % climbed to 150%. I have a hard time believing Weber will have twice the impact. I don't think there's a single player outside Crosby and McJesus who can move the needle to that extent. We're not in the 80's

 

[Rapala]

why is mete on the right tonight.
Isnt he better on the left ?

You've seen Schlumpko and Benn on that side right?

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Lets hope they don’t piss any more points away
