Great news

 

[Jacob8hockey*]

I'm pumped to see him play again! Saw the tweet in class and came right on to post this

 

[Erndog]

I know he really turned it on around Christmas, when he heard the "pop" in his wrist and it turned out to be the scar tissue breaking off.

When he hasn't been injured he's put up some great numbers.

Hopefully he can get in some games, I'm curious and excited to see what he can do now.

 

[JoeParez]

He's gonna bump Jake Gardiner out of the line-up! Fire Carlyle!



Am I doing this right?

 

[Leaftors]

yes, it is.

when nonis said they we're looking into adding a depth center and didnt,

i had a feeling it would be him.

 

[FriedEgg]

Is this the same situation as Hamilton yesterday? Something about post trade deadline recall waivers?

 

[Erndog]

Whats that blog again that had his numbers pre and post injury? etc

 

[NigelTufnel]

Interesting.

He probably wont play unless someone get's injured. If I understand correctly, there are now no roster limits and the rule about only 4 call-ups has been removed.

So, yeah, we're probably just bringing in our full compliment of troops and reserves, screw the Marlies playoff run, they had one last year.

Now it's time for the Leafs.

 

[The Missing Piece]

The roster space has opened up that's why we can do this as Lin as were below the cap.

 

[kilgro]

He's earned it with his play in the AHL since the lockout ended

 

[Gardiner Expressway]

If this was the alternative to sending a pick for scoring depth, I like it much better!

hope he doesn't ride the pine his whole time up

Where's Joe gonna play? 4th line C?

It's by our poster Hero. I'm excited to see Big Joe play. It's weird though, why call him away from regular playing and development time with the Marlies where he was thriving just to sit in the presser? You'd think he has to play, no? But who comes out?

 

[Leaftors]

great news!


did drew mac clear waivers?

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Hopefully he gets a game. I wouldn't mind sitting Grabo out a game for him. Make McClemment and Bozak take the defensive zone draws, and slot in Joe C with Kessel.

It'd also send a message to Grabo.

 

[The Saurus]

great news!


did drew mac clear waivers?

Yup.

 

[onebighockeyfan]

I wonder if he worked on his speed. He was a slow as molases.

[Pi]

He earned it .

I'm glad he's up. Now lets see Grabovski to the wing and Colborne as #3C.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Per dreger's tweet we just recalled Joe Colborne

Interactif right on again.

 

[NigelTufnel]

Where's Joe gonna play? 4th line C?

That's possible.

McClemment can play wing on the third line, and Hamilton hasn't done much out there.
