oops. you beat me.

I guess you can say Kyle Cappuccino finally gets his cup of coffee in the NHL. Only silver lining to an abysmal string of bad luck

 

[RABBIT]

oops. you beat me.

Guess we're comfortable giving out bad news

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Crazy... Yotes Life! Guess they gotta adopt that next man up strategy from last year already!

 

[AJ171181]

Damn, Get well soon Hammer!

 

[MarkT]

I feel legitimately bad for you guys on this. You never seem to have any luck. I hope you guys pull through and we see you in the conference finals.

 

[Fyreman]

I called it yesterday morning. I'll be doing taro card readings for a small fee later...

[moosemeister]

Just lost our best defenseman for half the season

lovely

 

[TheLegend]

The only bad thing I see about this is (in a smirky way)........... who's going to cover Goose's butt now?

Capobianco will get his chance now.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Opportunity for Chychrun to prove he's a Top 4 Dman and Capo (and Lbush) prove they're regular NHLer's.

Next man up.

Maybe I'll get flamed, but could this possibly be a good thing? Obviously terrible news given he's our best defenseman and second leading goal scorer! We can't win games with defense, only lose close contests and perhaps something will shift in the mindsets of the forwards, or even defensemen. Without hammer, you've just got to score more goals. I'm hoping this opportunity will ultimately be a positive (how is that even possible??) and shifts the focus of some players for the better.

 

[Lawson of Anarchy]

Being Yotes, what are the chances it is just 3 months?

Which teams are desperate for goaltending and might want Aiden Hill? Do any of them have a solid defensive D they’d be willing to give up? Someone who blocks shots and PKs? San Jose, New Jersey or Calgary maybe?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---

Too bad Soderstrom is in Sweden. I guess we get Capobianco and, I dunno, Goligoski gets the other A.

I think the nature of the injury makes the recovery time easier to predict. Some injuries like eyes, brain, back, and illnesses like Lyme disease are much harder to forecast.

I'm assuming not a displaced fracture, no surgery required. He'll be back for the playoff push.

You seriously believe anyone sees Hill as the answer to their tender needs?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Hate to see. Absolute best wishes to Hammer and hope he fully and quickly recovers.

 

[LuckyNumber11]

I tend not to be a sky is falling type of person, but this means that the sky is falling

[Jamieh]

Stay the course unless there is a real hockey deal to be made with future in mind.

A team who can’t afford another starter might. Pittsburgh as an example has Riikola just sitting there. Not being used. I’m not suggesting we get a top four D for Hill. But a situation like that might work.

San Jose’s goaltending has been a train wreck but they’re completely out of capspace. Maybe Hill for Trevor Carrick? I’d love to add to get Ferraro but that ain’t happening.

Nope, not a good thing. We play in a superstar league where a team needs shutdown players against the likes of McDavid.
