I dislike calling up Jiricek.

Takes one of Cleveland's most important players away and puts him into a bad situation.

Sweezey would have made more sense here.

Much like Greaves, I think they’re “rewarding” Jiricek with a call up. I don’t think he’s going to stay for the rest of the year.

It made sense for Greaves because he hadn’t made his NHL debut yet and it was in his hometown. Jiricek already has.

Just don’t really understand the point; hopefully it’s just because they think it’ll help his development (although I’m not really sure how 1-4 games in our current situation would help him much longer-term) and not because they’re trying to ice the best NHL team possible for tonight.

 

[EDM]

Gives him an NHL paycheck for a game.

So are our defensemen Peeke, Boqvist, Jiricek, Bayreuther, Bjork, and Berni tonight? If thats the case Jiricek is our 2nd most expensive D for the game

Tough luck Cleveland. LOL. It's a way of life for a minor league team.

Giving him more NHL exposure can only help him. He'll have a better of idea of where he needs to improve. If he's all of what everyone here says he is, then he'll be able to hold his own on the ice.

Also, getting paid ten times his AHL rate as others have noted will not put him in a bad mood.

Giving him NHL exposure when the vets are going through the motions playing out the rest of terrible season vs being heavily relied on in a playoff push? Id say 1 is much better for development and its not the NHL option

A little off topic, but I just noticed there are 16 games on the schedule for today and tonight. Very rare.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Hoping Jiricek takes a lesson from his short stint and will be working hard in offseason to make it next year from the camp, never ever looking back. He needs those games even if he´s going to burn like paper(I hope he´s not going to) to progress to the next level.

First time ever

So... hopefully Jiricek gets a better idea of what's needed at the NHL level, the guys play hard to show him what they can do, but not well enough to win.

CBJ fan status "it's complicated".

There were none yesterday. Also weird.

 

[Cowumbus]

I hope Jiricek gets PP time and scores.

[Johansen2Foligno]

I hope Jiricek gets PP time and scores.

I hope he gets an 8X8 extension

 

[majormajor]

Uh oh, they're calling it fan appreciation night.

On the plus side the 4 call ups only got a few hours sleep.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

What does 'fan appreciation night' mean in reality?

Hopefully these little things being against us doesn't mean that they do the opposite and go and win this game...

Of course we get the first PP...

 

[MoeBartoli]

Seeing Hutch standing in net facing Igor I’m reminded of the similarities between the two. They’re both goalies.

McKown TFW and Foudy on the PP over Bemstrom.
