Injury Report: Injury Thread 2019-20: Pelech Out, Cizikas and Boychuk are healthy

[SI90]

Interesting to see how they split Aho and Dobson.

 

[BMOK33]

Occasionally it takes something like this to wake a team up. They’ve been miserable for the better part of 5 weeks now and even the games they’ve won they’ve been lucky to win several of them. This won’t sink them but if they were to suffer another major D injury that takes someone out 4 weeks or more then they could be in trouble

Sucks that this has to happen. Bright side is getting to hopefully see a more complete and full view of what Dobson can bring.

Meanwhile, Bailey is healthy as a horse.

Pelech's injury really hurts, no pun intended. Awful time to lose our best defensive defenseman. Let's see how Dobson can handle the pressure.

It is unfortunately time to see what Dobson has. This would be a fantastic time for Toews to not absolutely suck.

What’s happened to him? He’s been terrible.

I sure liked this season a lot more a month ago.


Lou- Please do not panic and trade a 1st round pick for a rental defenseman before the trade deadline.

I don’t expect he will pick up any major Dman. It’ll be a role guy like a 5-6. Does anyone even have a list of who is available? I would automatically cross off Staal as the Rangers are not likely to want to help out anyone in division

Pelech is a big loss; hopefully Dobson/Aho can fill in well.

He'd have to be awake for that to happen.

The Kings have plenty..
Alec Martinez, but he wont cheap
Ben Hutton
Joakim Ryan

Which is a good thing...

 

[The Real JT]

This sucks, no way around it but...

We finally get to answer the questions regarding our D pipeline. Not only Dobson and Aho but maybe Hutton and Wotherspoon at some point. We might not like those answers, especially with the veteran Dmen being moved up the depth charts.

On a more positive note, now Thompson will have another reason for losing games as his Dmen get shuttled back and forth to the Island.

Strong like bull.

There's one guy who's not unhappy with this news.

Pulock's agent

 

[Bones45]

He sweats more,, and puts more energy and passion into making commercials than his play during the game.

Thats awesome.


FYI -- still waiting for his wifes acceptance of my IG friendship.

The worst thing about Pelech’s injury is it probably shuts down the possibility of using some of our defense depth in the organization as a trade chip for a forward.

If Thomas Hickey wasn’t hurt he’d be up here today. Instead it’s Sebastian Aho.

I hope she doesn’t talk to Shannon Hogan. They’ll both take out a restraining order against you.

 

[PK Cronin]

Will you give it a rest already? Your posts are a constant flow of garbage (and largely incorrect).

Losing Pelech is a huge blow. Dobson better be ready to step his game up because last night he looked like ****.

No injury problems except for the 90 man games lost this season, 12th most in the league.

There's more than a few Aho fans here. Guess we'll see what he's got.

I know you've seen your share of Bridgeport games. Do you think Hutton is ready to fill in for spot duty on the third D pairing?

Doesn't he play the right side?

Maybe not yet. He also missed a portion of the season due to injury. I’d leave him in the AHL for the time being just to get top 4 minutes and time on the PK.
