Injury Report: Karri Ramo Groin Injury

[Snakepit]

Thiessen did play 5 games for the Pens a few years ago. And won 3. With pretty awful stats though.

Ortio started skating recently, but still won't be ready for a while.

Thiessen is really the only option..... Hopefully Ramo isn't too bad and Hiller can run with it for a while

I don't think Ortio will be back this year. I expect Gillies to be signed in a week and join the team as the backup for the playoffs if Ramo is out for a while and we make the playoffs.

I thought someone already posted a couple of days ago saying Gilles is staying another year.

Pretty sure that was speculation based on the radio interview.

The Flames charter that flew in Johnny and Arnold last year is currently in Boston. Presumably for the frozen four? Ready to bring over Gillies or maybe O'Connor? Or maybe it's nothing and just Conroy or someone over there watching

Wouldn't be surprised if it's for Gillies. If they lose in the FF, you'd think Gillies would be taken straight to the Flames instead of Thiessen.

Maybe both.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Maybe both.

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Couldn't hurt

While not specific to Ortio, it may affect our backup position perhaps?

Wait, how did get to Calgary? I thought we didn't have any more call-ups.

Airplane, I suppose.

I knew I would regret wording it like that.

He could be here officially seeing team doctors.

May be considered as an "emergency recall" I suppose.

He was here visiting team doctors as of a few days ago. Someone else was there too but I don't remember who it was.

Mason McDonald was here recently.

That's the one.

Speaking of Mason McDonald.
Was anyone aware that this kid had the second best SV% in the QM this year; on a pretty average/bad team?

Oddly enough, I think Calgary got themselves a really good prospect here.

What do you mean by "oddly enough?" He was an early second-rounder and the first goalie taken. That should've been expected.

There was much *****ing on this forum
I liked the pick from the start, the tears we-a-flowing here though.

I don't think it says anywhere in the CBA where we can't switch call ups with Ortio and Thiessen.

For me, it wasn't much "*****ing" on McDonald, I just felt that we picked a goalie too early. Though, I am glad we did, because once we picked Mason, there were like 4/5 more goalies picked in the 2nd round.

I think much of it was the "who" reaction. Poirier got the same reaction at first, now everyone loves him.
