Why? Is someone hurt?

Interesting. He's been good lately so it does make some sense...
Where's his spot though? Vrbata waiving or is someone hurt?

Vrbata has been "ill" (sounds a bit too convenient considering his performances, but you never know, we'll see if he travels with the team) and I think McGinn has had something lingering him since the preseason (missing a game or two here and there).

The team is also about to have 5 road games in 8 days, with one B2B. Mamin could just be insurance for the trip.

Tests on Vrbata came back negative, apparently he’s still sick and possible even more than just sick, and therefore need an extra guy for the road trip.

Mamin obviously has nearly 200 games of pro experience having played the last 3 seasons in the KHL.

Possible Vrbata has a severe case of Bollanditis

So...bottom 6 against MIN?

Brickley - McCann - Mamin
McGinn (If healthy) - Mack - Sceviour

Or swap Sceviour and Mamin?

With Stewart in the lineup I think Haley plays. Mamin will sit for now.

Thank God Vrbata signed an one year deal and not a 5 year deal.

Excited to see Mamin

I don't like the sound of that. If the run of the mill tests were inconclusive then he likely will be sent to the Mayo Clinic which is the top diagnostic center in the US for more elaborate tests. Cleveland Clinic probably handled the standard tests but they may not be equipped to handle something that has not manifested itself yet. Wishing him and his family the best.

Ya good point. Maybe Mamin debuts in DET on back to back.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Maybe Vrbata has some reoccuring symptoms from his concussion?

I mean he did take a puck to the face.

he didn´t have the 5years 4,5 Mio Contract. Its only the half of it.

But Mamin would be nice to see. He had a good Preseason, was a candidate for 4th Line rolle. So i let me surprise how he could be, as an reserve. Not easy to jump in into a Team, you dont play along. Dont expect him before 3 RaodGame.

Funniest post of 2017

Would like to see this guy in the lineup on the 3rd line instead of McGinn. McGinn hasn't impressed me lately. Not sure if he's banged up or what, just don't like his game.

 

[SoupyFIN]

He would've more than likely been sent down after tonight's game anyway.
