What a day....

 

[NYRFAN218]

Hoping Skjei but expecting Summers.

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'd guess they call up Summer or Bodie.

 

[Mikos87]

If they have the luxury of doing this, they should give Girardi and Staal some extended time off if they are concerned with the playoff mileage on them

They played an entire season's worth of extra hockey over the last for seasons.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Watch us get a shutout and keep the Oilers to less than 15 SOG

According to reporters at practice, the swelling is due to a blocked shot in Vancouver. Probably got worse in the EDM/CGY games.

No surprise.

Stoll got waived partially because of this, I bet. Partially because of his play on the EDM GWG...

Welcome back, Chris Summers.

 

[Cassano]

Injuries are bad, but this could open up a huge oppurtunity for McIlrath. Play him 20+ mins for the first time this season vs. EDM and see how it goes. Can't be any worse than the display Girardi had when the two teams last met.

Not to keep harping on this but it makes even less sense to bring an extra forward (Glass) on the trip now. They had no cap space to bring an extra dman in case someone got hurt.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Even more importantly, AV said Stepan and Klein are "day-to-day." We need them back badly.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Bring up Skjei. Summers isgarbage.

 

[nevesis]

This is glorious. Wish it was because they just thought he sucked.

 

[RangerBoy]

Klein is close to returning but not tomorrow. Give Skjei a look see.

 

[Matz03]

Give Skjei a look. Play McDonagh on the right side, give him that challenge, it'll be good for him.

 

[Tawnos]

Klein is close to returning but not tomorrow. Give Skjei a look see.

Yandle-McDonagh
Staal-McIlrath
Skjei-Boyle

is what I'd hope to see.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Handle-McD
Staal-Boyle
Skjei-Mac

 

[Tawnos]

Handle-McD
Staal-Boyle
Skjei-Mac

I'm not a big fan of putting a guy in his first NHL game on a pairing with a rookie still finding his way, albeit improving game-to-game.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Figured I'd post the tweets in here also:

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'd love to see them call up Skjei, but I have a feeling it'll be Bodie.

McDonagh-Boyle
Yandle-McIlrath
Staal-Bodie

Staal - McDonagh
Yandle - McIlrath
Skjei - Boyle

Think that's what I'd go with. Don't break up the Yandle - McIlrath pairing, pair Boyle with Skjei and they get the much easier assignments for the night.

 

[Irishguy42]

It'll likely be Bodie or Summers.

 

[Miamipuck]

Would rather him being scratched for bad play not injury.

 

[Loff]

Summers got burned countless times... IN THE PRESEASON.

Stay away.

 

[Raspewtin]

Please please no Summers
