Stauffer just tweeted, it wouldn't surprise him in the least to see the nuge playing games in the middle of October

That is kind of what I am expecting. I think he'll miss the first 5 games/2 weeks for sure, and the week after that he'll play select games(not the B2B in Pitts).

He won't come back only to sit for half of back to back games. When he returns it will be because he's good to go. I say he misses the first 9 or 10 games and returns either for the last game of the long trip - Montreal, or the first game back - Washington. Interestingly, that would mean he misses only one divisional game - Oct 5 vs Vancouver.

Gregor (or someone he was talking to) was saying that the Nuge's shot looks really hard right now.

That's some good news.

That's some good news.

Last season his shot was much weaker, lacked accuracy and his passes were off. If he's 100% he's going to turn some heads this season.

Wouldn't be surprised if RNH is cleared by EDM medical staff to play before 6-game road trip -- maybe for NJ Monday or MTL Thursday.

thank god.. a healthy Nuge is probably the biggest factor in this team's success this year. Hopefully the Oilers can go around .500 until he's back.

Huge news if true. A month without any top-6 centers had the potential to nuke the entire season. RNH being back as early as Game 4 is nothing short of a godsend at this point.

I wonder if they're gonna keep Hall at centre once Nuge is back or if they're gonna move him back faster after that last game.

Guess it depends on how he does in the games up until Thursday.

Probably going to be more what Arcobello does at this point, wouldn't it?

I hope he plays on thursday, according to the main board the habs are the softest team in the east so it hopefully there isn't too much danger for him

Man our power play is going to be so much better once the nuge is back. Even though it's had a good start to the season, it's just so much more fluid with him on the top unit.

Thank god. Question is does Arcobello or come out or does Smyth get knocked down to the fourth line (with Hall moving back to wing)? I guess it depends on how Arco plays on Saturday.

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!


They better not be rushing him back

Unless something changed it sounded like we were waiting for the doctor out of Cleveland's clearance. No matter what I expect it to be viewed as rushing because we have so many doctors in here.
