Player Discussion Jeff Petry (Part II) - #mynamejeff Edition

[tooji]

It sucks having him injured but championship teams need to overcome key injuries. I’ll make an exception for price, anyone but him

 

[CAUFIELD]

Hopefully, it’s not too bad and Petry can continue to play shortly.

Id play Romanov tomorrow . Let Petry rest. I think we can beat them regardless

It would also give us the chance to evaluate Romanov

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Hopefully he can play in the next series if we close out the Jets. He is still the #1D in my view.

 

[Bx]

I missed it. What happened?

Freaky play. His hand apparently got caught in the hole in the glass through which photographers aim their lenses.

 

[DAChampion]

How is that working out with Marner and Matthews?

Non sequitur.

pray for petry’s pinky

I’d put money on them going with tape + pain killers

 

[Hacketts]

cut the pinkie off for the greater good.

 

[Habs]

I thought those holes we’re supposed to be covered?

Also the title of my sex-tape

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Rest Petry

 

[Natey]

Photographers are supposed to cover the hole when done. Couldn't tell if it was and Petry pushed through or what.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Losing our #1 D is a death sentence. Especially when/if we play the winner of COL/VGS. I hope we get him back.

 

[Essenege]

Yeah we don’t have the depth on defence to overcome Petry’s loss unless Romanov decides to take a step now.

For the guys who watched Laval this year would guys like Fleury or Brooks be legitimate options on the right side? I mean with all the success Laval got offensively this year I’m sure those 2 were doing something good on the breakouts

 

[SaintsThomas]

I remember last time we lost our top defenseman in the middle of a playoff series.

2010. Markov got badly injured, and the Habs called up a rookie to the team, PK Subban, who stepped up.

I think the Habs should repeat history here and take the chance, and call up PK Subban

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

No official news about our boy this morning?

Not sure if you heard, but unfortunately, PK is no longer in the system. So, he won't be called up. It would be nice though.

 

[CAUFIELD]

Hopefully, he is good to go , at least for next round .

he is our most valuable player after Price .

pleassse be okay

 

[SaintsThomas]

Not sure if you heard, but unfortunately, PK is no longer in the system. So, he won't be called up. It would be nice though.

OK, let me explain the joke here.

Basically, I was building up the expectation of "calling up a talented rookie" so people assume I call for Romanov to be called

But then I subverted expectation by suggesting the ludicrous idea that we call Subban instead, as is "calling a talented Rookie PK Subban" should focus on the Subban part.

I will be here all week, 'cause either we sweep tonight or we are stuck watching more hockey

Years ago a fan in Boston stole Kovalev's stick (think it was him) through that hole.

 

[waffledave]

Right pinky on a right hand shot... Better than the other hand IMO.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Right pinky on a right hand shot... Better than the other hand IMO.

If I'm not mistaken Petry is left handed , so thankfully it's not his dominant hand either.

 

[HostileCapSpace]

I guess this is a bit of a good news - injury doesn't appear too serious.

 

[tooji]

I guess this is a bit of a good news - injury doesn't appear too serious.

I’d say it’s excellent news. It seems that at worst he is day-to-day.

 

[tooji]

If he plays I propose we call him 1-pinky petry till the end of the post season

 

[Sorinth]

The Habs should be laser-focused on finishing this in 4 to get some rest and study Colorado/Vegas who could easily go to 7. We need Petry tommorow.

We need Petry at his best to face off against Colorado/Vegas. Closing out the series in 1 or 2 more games is just not worth the risk of making the injury worse and jeopardizing what is already a pretty slim chance against Colorado/Vegas.

 

[Archijerej]

You know what has to be done, Jeff. La Gloire is worth more than some damned pinky.
