Wow, to the show. Be interesting to see if he gets ice time.

 

[sr228]

I just heard that too, interesting that they keep calling up RD. He's certainly earned the call up.

 

[210]

He's not ready. If he plays significant minutes this will get ugly.

 

[knu]

I dont know much about this kid. How does he look skills wise.

 

[sr228]

He's not ready. If he plays significant minutes this will get ugly.

I'm guessing Hannan is still not 100% so he's just replacing Tennyson as an extra, but even if he does get into a game the chances of Doherty getting "significant" minutes are pretty small.

 

[SJeasy]

Has he played any LD in Woostah?

No...

Nope

I was thinking anything more than 6-7 minutes SJ is in trouble.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He probably won't see any ice unless someone is banged up.

I literally yelled "What the ****???".

Why?

How do you pronounce "****"?

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

Why?

Jux always says that, not a surprise really.

But this is an interesting move. I guess they want to let Tennyson play in Woo instead of sitting in the press box.

 

[Grave]

I want to see this train wreck maybe if he sees what it takes to be an NHL regular he will elevate his game.

 

[Negatively Positive]

The next Chris Pronger is here. Watch out NHL


Is there any defensemen besides Tennyson and Petrecki who have filled in before, that can be trusted to fill in and be solid?

I wouldn't think that the SJ coaching staff would trust any of the Worcester d-men to fill in and be solid right now for anything more then maybe a game or two, though Tennyson is probably closest and I'd put Doherty behind him.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Why?

Because why the **** is Doherty up? To get Tennyson back into games? The "experience"? I'm confused.

Reward him for his work in Worcester. Not like they haven't done it before.
A couple of games away from Worcester and in the press-box isn't going to kill his development. Practicing with Robinson might actually help it.

Don't forget the monetary aspect. Doherty makes 3-times as much in the NHL as he does in the AHL, and even a few games in the box make for a nice cash bonus.

That's what I meant by reward.

Right, I get that, but what if he actually has to play a game? I mean, it doesn't make sense to me to call up someone who shouldn't play more than 6-7 minutes in case of injury.

Maybe the Sharks want to see how far along he is. Work with the big squad while Hannan heals. Not a big deal.

If Hannan is still on IR another d-man will need to have to come out of the line up before Doherty has to play.

Based on his play in Worcester this season I think he'd be fine as a #6 in a sheltered role for a game or two especially against teams like WPG and Minn.
