Thanks Stenlund for your solid play, and contributing to the CBJ hot streak.
I'm confident Bjorkstrand will step in and be ready, like Cam did.

And VV also played yesterday and was pulled after the 2nd so if he was called up to make a start, he'd also be on the 2nd night of a back to back with travel in between.VV isn’t the backup, Kievs is.
I'm sad he had to go back down but I suspect he'll be back again. He was more than adequate in his time.Thanks Stenlund for your solid play, and contributing to the CBJ hot streak.

Emergency recalls work for 9 games/30 days. After that point it will revert to a regular recall which allows for another 9 games/30 days before having to be subject to waivers.That’s what I read. He was an emergency recall. So when the player he was called up for is activated he has to be returned to the minors
I’m not sure if a player who is exposed to waivers would get an exemption going back down or not.
We have been winning since Dec. 9, with a league worst PP. Most of the game is played 5 on 5 anyway and Stenlund has been average 5 on 5.
People keep saying this, but it makes no sense. Resting from Monday to Wednesday does you absolutely no good if you're exhausted on Sunday night. That's not how rest works.You've gotta go with the hot hand in goal. There will be plenty of time for Elvis to rest until the next one on Wednesday.
Can someone explain why almost everyone is question Torts decisions? What the heck everybody thinks?
@DougKnowsBest mentioned this already, but Stenlund was an emergency recall. By rule, he had to go back down when Bjorkstrand came back into the lineup.Stenlund to the minors? Damn. Tough decision. I wish it would have been Lilja instead.

I don't dispute your numbers. Bottom line is we are winning. The forwards struggling will most likely catch up to them, unless they start playing better. Or if the goaltending takes a crap, then the forwards will really have to pick it up. Elvis has been carrying the team. Will the forwards be able to match that if Elvis has a bad game?Spoiler alert - all our forwards have been heavily negative in shot shares since Dec. 9th.
I think you, of all people, know that's their best goalie so in a way, bad news to the Jackets.NYR starting rookie Shestyorkin in goal
I really don't see how Torts is getting all the credit for wins. He should get credit for good coaching, but the players on the ice get most of the credit because they are the ones playing. When I see Torts get out there and play I will give him more credit. If I remember correctly, when they weren't playing well early, it was pretty much all Torts bashing, with some exceptions. He was getting most of the blame for the losing. People wanted him gone without giving him a chance to try to turn things around. Three straight playoffs and at the first sign of adversity, he should be fired. Yeah the PP hasn't been that good since he has been here. Do you think that is the only reason this team hasn't won a cup in that time? It would be nice to cash in on power plays, but how much of a game are we on the power play? And if you are going to give the players credit for winning, shouldn't they shoulder some of the blame also for the bad power play? They are the ones out there playing. As far as the Monster players go, there were only three in the line up last night. Robinson doesn't count because he has been up most of the season. The guys coming up from the minors and doing good is a product of the farm team playing the same style as the big club. They just plugged them in and it worked out. It very well could have gone the opposite direction. Torts decisions are subject to criticism. People are also allowed to make points if they don't agree with said criticism. Doesn't make them wrong or right either.It's not everyone but can you explain why his decisions for this team are not subject to questions or criticism. This is a message board and everyone has different opinions and ideas. Doesn't make them right or wrong. Why does it seem that lately Torts get all the credit for the teams wins and the players get the criticism when they lose? Why does Torts continue to get a pass for the horrible special teams, especially the PP, that this team has had in his entire reign as CBJ coach? It's a slippery slope. Just because I question/criticize some of his decisions doesn't mean I dislike him or think he's a bad coach.
I'm going to wait until this team gets healthy and gets back to a full roster. My criticism will only ramp up if this team starts trending down when the Monsters start leaving the lineup.
