Speculation: If Boyle is out "a while", who might get called up?

He was definitely knocked out. He's going to be out a while with the concussion potentially being a problem. The neck twist may be a concern as well. We'll have to see what they report but man that was a rough ride. Tennyson is going to get some time, that's for sure.

With the way he played in the pre-season wouldn't be shocked to see them call up Albetshauser.

I think we're going to get a variety of guys coming up.
Albetshauser, Acolatse, Tennyson. Maybe Doherty.

This what I think too. The Sharks have seen him play and with Stuart coming back and with Hannan playing well, he will probably have a nice view from the press box.

Ya, they have 6 healthy d-men that they'll probably use in Dallas, just slot Stuart in with Irwin, and from there it'll depend on what they find out about Boyle and how the 6 D they have play.
They would only do that if they don't have any options cap-wise. They don't want to only go with the bare minimum on D in case something happens between now and the game in Dallas. They do have options if they so choose but we'll see.

I'd imagine they'll call someone up, I don't think that someone will be playing in the next couple of games.
Considering the type of player that Boyle was and what Stuart is, it would be a good idea to put a guy of Tennyson's skills into the game. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't just due to their perceived value in what Stuart-Hannan did at one point but I don't think it's the best thing for them to do.
If he uses that suspension in his explanation as something against him, it will get appealed and lowered. And the chirping thing is only going to be substantiated by an official if it were to be utilized for a punishment. They can't go off of what a victimized player's teammate is saying. And that is going to be very difficult.

I think they'll go with the D they have for the next couple of games and if they play well, stick with it so I'm not sure who they'll bring up to sit in the press box. Petrecki is as good a guess as any.
That said, I'd imagine they'll want to bring up a right side d-man who can move the puck and add some offense so I'm guessing Tennyson, though they weren't exactly happy with his play through camp and pre-season.

Don’t say eye test when you mean points
.....................Stuart is coming back so just in time but it would have been nice to see Hertl on defense, imagine him that much closer to the opposing goalie than when at forward.

Havlat, Torres, now Boyle... If this team can keep winning with those three out long-term than I would be insanely impressed.
We have 6 healthy "NHL" defensemen on the roster, so I don't imagine a kid will get into a game... I wouldn't be shocked to see Petrecki up to sit as the 7th.

move Burns back to D
play Irwin with Hertl & Jumbo
use more drop passes on zone entries
stop blocking shots and clear the lane so Niemi can see the puck
go back to read-and-react diamond PK system
refuse to call timeouts when our players are gassed and are asking for a timeout before a big power play

no way, it's nice to have a proven vet on each pairing and it screws up chemistry for 2 pairings that shouldn't be broken up at this point. Irwin-Stuart is the only way to go until proven otherwise.
