Hecht's hand

[mphs mike]

feel that adding the following facts;

 

that he blocked a shot with it + he left the game immediately without returning + he flew back to be examined by doctors = a determination of whether he needs surgery or not to repair the broken wrist/hand/finger(s)

[RayFinkle]

sounds like Hecht will be using "the stranger" for a while.

:cry:

[stenbaro]

Now we know why he is named chokin jochen

[stenbaro]

Jochen keeps this up we will have to start thinking of him as Timmy Jr. :nana:

[Two or less]

:rolleyes:

 

The dude had 2 straight seasons of playing almost the entire season, then picks up a injury and people mock him as a Connolly. Come on.... it's getting really annoying, really quick.....

This sucks. :thumbdown:

 

His goal against the Islanders was sweet. That nifty backhander into a hole the goalie left next to goalpost.

Someone else is going to have to step up and start scoring those garbage goals that Hecht likes so much. Maybe they can get Clarke to work on banking em in off the goalie's arm in practice? :thumbsup:

That wasn't a garbage goal, it was skill pure and simple

Agreed. Harry Neale even mentioned it yesterday during the game. Most players who are behind the net, try to bank it off with luck into the net, while Hecht has a plan and that's what he's trying to do. It's not the first time Hecht scored a goal from there.

 

btw, Regier announced Hecht had surgery and will be out a "couple of weeks".

Thats kool..Cant really afford him out for more than a few weeks..And at least its not March when we get roughed up with all those games in a row...

[slapshot1619]

TSN.ca reporting at least 2 weeks for Hecht

[wonderbread]

two weeks i'll take it cripes its better than out 4-6.

Or the "Western Grip". :unsure:

[nfreeman]

Well, it sure didn't take long for our forward depth to get eaten up. Jeez. 2 games into the season and we're already down THREE centers.

 

Question now is whether Gerbe (or anyone else) gets called up from Portland. I'd expect them to dress Ellis tomorrow night vs the Rangers. If everyone plays well, maybe they keep that going, but if we lose and don't look that great, someone will get called up and probably dress for the next game.

I said it before in another thread and I'll say it again. Gerbe is not a center. Why would they call him up given that we have 1-2 natural centers on the current roster?

By counting on Timmay we were already down one center in the preseason.

 

And that was before the back/vertebrae injury.

The Sabres are going into MSG extremely shorthanded. I expect Lindy to reign in the offense and try to play road hockey and steal a point. With the lineup as is they can not go end to end with the Rangers.

 

Maybe Connolly can man-up and maybe show up and play when the team really needs him. Then again why would this game be different than other games.

that's the truth (see the :52 mark).

I agree! I also think Jochen should grow a pair and play too. I mean, the guy's got nine good fingers! He's 90% -- and can't suit up when his team needs him. Euro trash. Jochen Hecht -- too liberal. We can't afford four more years of Hecht-Bush policies.

When Hecht returns he will probably still have more games played this season than Tiny Timmy Connolly. I'm sure when ever Timmy's "back injury" heals something else will fall off.

 

I do agree with the Bush comment. It's amazing that some people would even consider voting for McCain and a continuation of the Bush legacy of destruction.
