OT: Look here! Now with prizes!

Yep, with Wallmark, Kuokkanen, Zykov, Roy, etc., I think we are ok letting Necas go back this year. I'm ok forgetting about him for a year and getting some occasional updates (like we did with Aho his draft year).

[Anton Dubinchuk]

He cleared!

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Hello

 

[geehaad]

He cleared!

Bittersweet. It means Kaz was right about something.

 

[Breakdowns]

He is first in line to be called up if any injuries, right?

Glad he cleared. Guessing Dahlbeck gets the ice time if there is an injury. Though I'd like to see Carrick get some ice time this year in the NHL.

For the Islanders. Carrick is the piece that puts us over the top for JT.

I would think so, but he can only be called up on emergency waivers if 2 defensemen are injured, correct? Trying to sneak Carrick through waivers later in the season is probably a bigger risk, as we've seen before with Carson.

What a disaster that was. Team is just now recovering from that crushing loss.

True. It took them several whole weeks to acquire an equally marginal defenseman in Derek Joslin. Luckily they were able to lock Joslin up.

The difference between Carson and Carrick is that Carson had actually been good in the NHL the year before over a decent stretch of games (54). Carrick has played two NHL games. Unless Carrick is absolutely dominating the AHL or has a great showing in the NHL, nobody is claiming him.

Carrick is at least a tier below where Carson was at the time. He's never been particularly good in the AHL. This whole hype over Carrick started because he's "gritty" and "physical" (ignoring the fact that he's been wildly underweight for much of his career and wasn't actually able to be effective physically--it's the effort that counts). and got tons of powerplay time and ice time to inflate his point totals on a shitty Checkers team because there were no better options. The Checkers improving significantly last year and Carrick's point totals falling off a cliff are directly related.

So...yes, 2 D would need to be injured for an emergency call-up?

 

[geehaad]

Yeah, f*** Carrick. Hate that guy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I don't dislike Carrick, but I admit I've found the interest in him over the past few months a bit odd.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

He's got a rocket, which I like. Having a "Faulk" on both PP units would be sweet.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So I've learned that Anton Dubinchuk like's Carrick's rocket.

I like when he's finally able to get in a position to fire it off, is that so wrong?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Carrick will now and forever after be known as "Red Rocket".

 

[tarheelhockey]

So, who gets to be "Pocket Rocket"?

 

[RodTheBawd]

Reported.

 

[AD Skinner]

We should try to acquire Pool Party just so we can call Aho "Pocket Pool Party"

Guess you all will be happy to see his jersey is available...

 

[Stickpucker]

Didn't someone put up 100$ he wouldn't make it?
