Injury Report: M*A*S*H* 4077th Is Calling - Triage Has Been Overrun.

Hell yes.

 

[moosemeister]

Hell yes.

 

[pheasant]

Hell yes.

Galchenyuk is exactly what this team has been missing so far this season. Having him anchor the Keller line will make everyone else fall into place. Great news!

Not hard to disagree with this. Any predictions on his season points totals? If I had to take a stab at it I'd say 20 goals and 30 assists if they keep him with Keller.

What do you disagree with?

Galchenyuk gives the team another center, and that fixes almost all the slot allocation issues. Keller, for example, started the year at C. What a disaster. Now the rest of the players can return to a more normal/natural spot.

As for point totals, it depends on health. He's already missed about a 10th of the year. But I expected him to push for 30 goals this year. That's based on his play and usage in the pre-season. And the team clearly missed him while he was out.

Good luck Chucky! Go Yotes Go!

 

[Jagged Ice]

What do you disagree with?

I misspoke. I agree with your statement.

I’m going to stay reserved over Galchenyuk being back until I see how he does.

There’s going to be a little rust to shake off and I’d rather not get all giddy over a return that might take a few games to show results.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I like that Stepan won't have to play against the top defensive pairings. I like that Strome won't have to play against the 2nd lines.

Nah. I prefer to jump in head first, eyes closed.

Galchenyuk will be great. Win streak incoming.

True, but I'll take a rusty Galchenyuk over Archibald/Kempe at 100% any day.

 

[moosemeister]

AZ is going to score 9 goals. Galchenyuk will score 8.72 of them. He's so good his assists count as partial goals.

 

[Muppet]

I just want my boy Chychrun back.

He's on the road trip skating with the team every day. But I sense the team is still going to stick to the long plan.

As they should IMO, I want them to wait until the Dr's are 100% sure he's ready to go...then wait one more week after that.

Craig Morgan was reporting it'll be two weeks of practice after he's cleared for contact, which hasn't happened yet.

Wow. Awesome!

 

[moosemeister]

ARISE!!!!

I hope it's KConn who gets benched instead of Oesterle. I really like Oesterle's game.

Oesterle plays the right side.

Agreed. Connauton fooled everyone at the end of last year with his scoring into thinking that he's more than a #7 defenseman. He is not.

I think Kconn has played pretty well actually. Goose has been so so, not great so far. We likely have an injury and it sorts itself out but Chych for Kconn isn't a given at this point.

Well Chychrun for Goligoski or Demers isn't going to happen, so that leaves KConn and Oesterle.


Oesterle > KConn

I'm not sure what the point is in posting paywall links. I don't mean to single you out Mos, just bringing it up in general.
