Rumor: Jovo Cleared to Play

[EnforceTheLaus]

@hfialkov: A source close to Panthers has told me D Ed Jovanovski has been cleared to play Saturday vs Nashville. #captainisback


Harvey reporting so likely drunk, but major news. Cap'n Crutches looks like he will be back.

Oh man... this will be interesting. So who sits?

Right now? Likely Petro. Long term... Good question. Weaver would be likely but Weaver is a big part of the D already. Mabye a trade?

 

[Drugs Delaney]

It will be nice to see the captain back on the ice imo.

Weaver blocks shots, he's too valuable to a team like us.

Sit JoSlow. Problem solved.

I hope not, I really like Weaver's style of play.. I think he's been very solid for us.

Sit JoSlow. Probably solved.

That's not a terrible idea.. I'm willing to give him a chance, but his skating makes me nervous.

 

[16Skippy]

Harvey's reporting, eh?

 

[CHGoalie27]

****.

Jovo for Weber?

 

[hockeydude1]

He's cleared to play. Does he remember how to play 0_0

 

[PBPantherfan]

Jovo for Weber?

With 13 years left on his contract Nashville needs to add or maybe substitute Jones for Weber.

Hopefully Jovo doesn't hurt anything if he's bad sit him in the press box.

I can't think of any other time where a player comes back from an injury and we're all pissed. I have no idea what's going to happen once Guddy is healthy. I'm sure Jovo won't be playing more than every other game and is putting himself at risk for another injury. Let's see how long and well this lasts...

Kuba last season lol.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

Kuba last season lol.

He was apparently so bad that I forgot about him

 

[StrangeVision]

They should just force him into retirement.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Lucky.

 

[Benched]

I still have nightmares.

Jovo will come back for two weeks and get hurt again. The guy just needs to give it up.

[Mogo]

It's been so long since we last saw him we don't remember how bad he was as our last real glimpse of him playing was playoffs where he was good. On the positive side the pictures that i've seen of him lately he looks to be much better fit than when we signed him

 

[gudzilla]

yep, he's been working out for a long time and not rushed

send petrovic down again, put jovo with olsen tills gudbranson is back, then sit weaver imo, or make every d-man accountable for their **** ups (outside of gudbranson/campbell/olsen imo)

 

[Egblad]

Ugh...

 

[Erick*]

Well, we just got worse.

 

[Android 16]

Somebody will blow by him guaranteed.

 

[MintyFresh88]

I think we all need to relax a bit. We're not going to be relying on the guy to come in and play 20+ mins a night, which is a good thing for the team and him personally. I think if his minutes are in the 10-14 range, he can be useful.

I understand the concerns with his speed and mobility, but apparently he's been working hard, let's just wait and see what happens. I still think he can move better than Whitney and Kuba.
