Now for him to get in a game...

 

[Howler Scores]

We shall see if he gets into actual games. But unless he plays goalie, I dont think this helps.

Now for him to get in a game...

That's what I was thinking.

 

[ck26]

We had 22, right?

Moss, Hanzal hurt makes 20.
OEL, Z, Yandle, Stone, Murphy, Schlemko, Summers, Smith, Dubnyk means 11 forwards.

Unless Tim Kennedy and Jeff Halpern are still lurking, he can't not get in.

Hanzal is still skating and is a game-time decision; Moss is seeing a doctor today and depending on the outcome might be available too.

This is why Don likes running with 22 - because it allows for a contingency callup without putting one of Moss or Hanzal on the DL unless it's necessary.

 

[Plub]

It's a step in the right direction. Now put him on that third line and play him.

Maybe tip will dress moss even though he can't play so he can sit on the bench.

This call up could either make him or break him. I don't know if his stats are any indication but if they are, being sent down seemed to deflate him quite a bit. We can only hope he comes out big and makes himself a permanent fixture on the Coyotes.

He won't be. As soon as Moss and Hanzal are both healthy, Hodgman goes back down.

I was thinking he might bump someone more like Chipchura or one of our lesser lights.

It would be nice, but he'd have to score at a 1-2 ppg rate in order for DM to even consider it, and since we can't hide any of those guys' salaries in the A... *sad trombone*

 

[zerekstar]

yeah I guess some things will never change.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I don't expect anything short of maloney's direct intervention to make tippett replace one of his guys. It's been made abundantly clear he has his guys and he's going to play his guys.

He's only ready and done. He needs to be overcooked. And heaven knows this isn't the National Heating League. You can only cook (and overcoook) in the minors

If our prospects were so ready why does our farm team suck so bad?

Lessio with a goal tonight but wins and stats haven't materialized yet.

Different system, maybe?

 

[YandlesMother]

Damn, I almost believed NO WAY GUYS SUMMERS IS PLAYING WING. Happy with the news and I'm hoping Hodgman gets good minutes!

 

[rt]

I bet they're kicking themselves for releasing Kassian from that AHL PTO.

Is Andre Bulduc injured? He must be injured? Doesn't Kyle Chipchura have surly uncle that's a pipe fitter or something? You know, a real glue guy. Surprised he didn't get his shot.

 

[wildcat48]

Different system, maybe?

No. It’s the same system.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

No. It’s the same system.

You mean the old "OLE!" trap and then tiring the other team out by allowing them to keep possession for most of the game?

I've only see one game live so far this season but without Gormley playing we have no decent defensive prospects. PP had multiple mishandled pucks by our D, causing short handed opportunities. No one can hold the puck in the zone at the line.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

No. It’s the same system.

I meant different from the one the Coyotes used in camp, where the rookies looked so good.

Given how badly the Pirates did last season, I'm not surprised they're not flourishing under the same system this year.

I believe that is called "Rope a Dope"

Because they are not ready yet, it is that simple. Some of our prospects should be tearing up the AHL if they were really that great, and ready to be in the NHL full time. We will have more injuries though, and more guys playing poorly, so I think more prospects will get a chance this year to play in the NHL. The play so far in the AHL, is not forcing Tip and DM to call anyone up, not even close.
