Injury Report: Lance Bouma out 3 months with broken fibula

[Pirate King Luffy]

 

[Janks]

Tough break for booms
I'd like to see Granlund come up and get a shot with Backs.

 

[GAMO1992]

I REALLY like those lines!!!

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I REALLY like those lines!!!

Looking at it, we have a rough forward group after the first line. I like the lines, but they just look tough.

 

[Anglesmith]

Like those lines, I do. Bennett on the wing means we're serious about winning.

I think Backlund between two players who can actually score is a bigger indication that we're serious about winning...

 

[herashak]

i wouldn't mind seeing bennett on the wing for the majority of the season. I'd like to see him get his reps at center but i don't care if he plays on the wing for a while. I hope arnold can take a bottom six center spot and run with it. good size, along with good defence and faceoffs. Stajan has his spot right now but if bennett is on the wing then maybe there is space.

Would of liked to see Raymond in the top-9 after his last couple games. Excited to see what Ferland can do with Bennett and Backlund though..

yeah, that's great for my fantasy team.

Well the center of our 4th line has taken more faceoffs than our 2 and 3 centers combined. So maybe being #4 RW is kind if like that.

 

[Rangediddy]

I really don't think you have a leg to stand on when it comes to this assessment.

Does give guys like Hathaway and Arnold a chance to get a leg up on the competition.

 

[Calculon]

Better lines but still not the best. If they're going to go with Bennett on the wing, they should go with

Bennett-Backlund-Frolik

Hartley gets weird hangups sometimes.

Bollig should also be scratched in favour of Granlund.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

This is what you worry about with Bouma, it was kind of a freak play if I recall but he's prone to injuries with how he plays. Love Lance, let's hope he makes a full recovery and hopefully someone makes the most of this opportunity.

 

[Boomstick]

Ouch. Well, my avatar gets called up.
Get well Lance.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

I suppose Ferland gets an increased role and someone like Granlund gets recalled.

Nailed it.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Nailed it.

What a hard prediction to make.

I have difficulties chalking this up to being injury prone, as I do with any broken bone.

 

[joeyabs]

So Granny in if Jooris or Raymond have bad games?

So Granny in if Jooris or Raymond have bad games?

I would guess as much

He isn't saying Bouma is injury prone. He is saying that the style Bouma plays make him prone to injuries.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

He isn't saying Bouma is injury prone. He is saying that the style Bouma plays make him prone to injuries.

That is what I was trying to say, but I should have said "more prone to getting injured with how he plays". He's actually been fairly durable really, and it did happen along the boards and looked like a freak play, it wasn't by blocking a shot for a example. But as tough as Bouma is, he's reckless with his body and you wonder how his body is going to hold up long term. Let's just hope his body fully recovers from this.

 

[Skobel24]

Ouch. Well, my avatar gets called up.
Get well Lance.

Or maybe Paul Byr- ****.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Waiving Byron was a serious misstep.

 

[Janks]

Waiving Byron was a serious misstep.

To get the right amount of players, I'd say it was the best choice to make. It came down to Ortio or Byron essentially, and I'd rather lose Paul. That being said... I miss Paul. He was the epitome of the Flames.
