Sometimes miracles
It may have been, I'm going off the initial info I had which was "weeks not days"I thought it was confirmed 4-6 weeks?

I think the biggest reason Wideman hasn’t been playing is because of the complete 180 Benning has done since Hitchcock put him back in the lineup. It really looked to me that Wideman was brought in to replace Benning and when that wasn’t needed there was no spot for him. I’m curious to see how he does now that there appears to be an open spot on the blue line.Wideman had three plus seasons prior to the last one ... he needs to get his **** together and play decent. It seems like he's done it before, Hitch needs to get him to work. There's no choice now.
I've noticed this too, Benning still has some issues, but he's been much better as of late.I think the biggest reason Wideman hasn’t been playing is because of the complete 180 Benning has done since Hitchcock put him back in the lineup.

Nurse - Benning (eep)

Wouldn't mind seeing Caleb Jones get a chance to be honest.

Very careful management of match-ups.

Nothing’s been confirmed yet that was what Gregor apparently got from his “insiders”.I thought it was confirmed 4-6 weeks?

Oscar Klefbom broke two fingers last night and will be out of the lineup for weeks, and could require surgery depending on what the doctor determines during the examination.Nothing’s been confirmed yet that was what Gregor apparently got from his “insiders”.
According to 1260, it could be less than that or it could be longer . Let’s just pray it’s his finger and not his hand.

Depends, if it's the pinky and index it could be lights out for awhileDamn TWO fingers ?
At least it’s not his hand . What’s your guys estimate for two fingers ?
Well judging by the amount certain guys get up front, it's probably not a horrible idea.so do you guys dress 7D now to take up the minutes Klef played
Hope they're keeping Klef quarantined in a frigging oxygen tent this time, we do not need a 15-16 repeat.

Yep... I've been saying that on the forums here for a while as well.
The team doesn't really have 12 good forwards on any given night as we've seen all season with the lack of decent winger options... and they can quite easily play the decent forwards they have for a few extra minutes to compensate for only having 11 forwards.
Having 7 dmen in the lineup would give them more options and would let a guy like Wideman/Garrison (or even Bear if he's called up) have more of an opportunity to be an offensive option on the PP and not have to play so many minutes that it hurts the team defensively.
I really do think that the 11F 7D option makes a lot of sense because of the way this team is structured currently.
Bouchard would have been a fantastic option in that situation as well if the team would have kept him up... playing as the 7D in the lineup with limited minutes and then giving him PP time would have helped the team offensively plus eases Bouchard into the roster as well by keeping his minutes down.
Be nice to see what Larsson could do, if anything, in a bit of time in that spot. Larsson doesn't have a poor shot.Oscar Klefbom broke two fingers last night and will be out of the lineup for weeks, and could require surgery depending on what the doctor determines during the examination.
