Grimaldi should be out

 

[panthersfan94]

Is somebody hurt? Is he going to fill in for Rocco? I don't really want him playing center

 

[PSLguy]

Rocco sent down.

 

[Boothinator]

Rocco sent down.

Good!

 

[Gentle Man]

Lol Rocco got dog housed quick.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

I would assume that this is also means a major blow for Rocco in the Panthers' sweater in the future since Hunt, Jayce and Crouse are knocking on the door.

Well he did spend a lot of time on all fours on the ice....

 

[BeezKnees]

So who's going to be 3C??

 

[iam76]

it will be easier for gallant with islanders matching lines.. Expect mckegg maybe

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Kind of expected after last night. Inexperience, took a bad penalty and too weak on the puck in these types of games. Rather send him down than scratch him.

 

[Ghoste]

Shaw adds a big playoff body I guess. Could help.

[Haj]

Was he sent down so he could attend to his family ?

Right before the playoffs started.. Hard times for Rocco.

^Could be why he hasnt been as effective.

Understandable

Shaw can play center, he's also a better playoff type player. Rocco needs A LOT more seasoning in the AHL

I am told Patrick Roy played Shaw at Center for a year in the Quebec league with Grigorenko and then for a while in San Antonio as well

I'd rather see Howden play over Shaw

Let's be honest here... While Rocco is a great guy, he is too undersized to become a regular NHL player... And with all the other players coming up in the system his chances to ever make it are bleak

I haven't thought much of Rocco, but he can still pull of St-Louis. However, it's highly unlikely that it'll happen in this org, if ever at all.

He's undersized, but that's not his only flaw. He lacks the hockey sense to truly make the most of his opportunities in the offensive zone, and being that size he needs to capitalize on as many of them as he can. Maybe he can improve on this, maybe he can't. But it doesn't look good.

It is very obvious that since late season Howden has been in Gallants dog house. So I don't expect he will play a big role. Gallant has no confidence in him or doesn't like his game.

He was good in game one. Laid some hits despite being 5'6. Did a lot of things people dont notice. Last night wasn't good though

 

[Android 16]

Did they send Rocco down because of his personal issue or was his grandfather's passing just coincidental?
