Evander Kane out 4-6 weeks

[qwksndmonster]

No, because we want Kane on a different line wreaking havoc. 

Obvi.  Nobody is happy that Kane got hurt except for opposing defensemen.  Especially the Princess.

[beerme1]

Call up Ellis,        

 

:censored:

[That Aud Smell]

Something called a Damien Cox tweeted "Karma, man" with such timing that the Twittersphere inferred he was talking about Kane and his Bust-beef Cox started with Kane a week or so ago. Cox then denied the intent, sort of.

 

Sports media, man. More intolerable by the day.

[inkman]

Does this mean our Christmas present is Kane and Lehner at the same time though?

If that's what you are into :ph34r:

[StuckinFL]

Does this mean our Christmas present is Kane and Lehner returning at te same time though?

 

Sure seems like it. You just know that GMTM is going to do something now. If we had gotten off to a great start, I'd say hey can sit on his hands, but not with Kane sitting out. Which is a shame because we don't need to trade anymore assets for temporary solutions. My guess is that the goalie situation is handled.

[inkman]

Wait... they called up Schaller. Isn't he a C?

All Cs can be Ws

Worse than Myspace when I was in middle school.

Pfft, you shoulda seen the Internet when I was in middle school.  Couldn't get a word in edgewise.

So Cox has cooties?

[wjag]

Marvelous...

 

 

So Bogosian did not last a training camp,

And  Lehner did not last a game

and Kane did not last a month

 

All big ticket acquisitions by GMTM and none of them are panning out

ROR is our leading scorer but yea, kinda sucks on the acquisition front.

[dudacek]

So cements Reinhart as a go-to offensive guy, expanded roles for Larsson, Moulson?

 

Or 26 Gionta minutes a night?

[Randall Flagg]

Or 26 Gionta minutes a night?

:sick:

[Wyldnwoody44]

Maybe we can put eichel with someone other than freaking Larsson or Gionta..... Is Schaller any good, I don't recall seeing him much?

4th line energy guy

4th line energy guy

Meh, I didn't catch the preseason, any other guys like Bailey or Baptiste (not sure if in AHL) that may fit better?

[inkman]

Varone or Cal O'Reilly I guess. Although they are both Cs. ????

Can you lay any of that at the feet of GMTM?

Looking at what Bylsma has done to date with the offensive lines, I wouldn't be surprised to see a revolving door with Rochester over the next 4-6 weeks.  He seems like he wants to tinker; this is a chance for him to plug different AHL guys in at the NHL level and see who does the best.

[DirtDart]

Not good, but better than all year.

Probably not for Lehner because his career is so young, but both Kane and Bogosian have a pretty clear history of missing 10-15 or so games each season. And they both play physical games that you would think increases the likelihood of injury.

[Stoner]

Is staying healthy a talent?

So what do you want?  Milquetoast Ellises who stay healthy for 82 games, or Kanes and Bogos that will make a difference for 70 games?

To a degree. All 3 have had injury issues and it wasn't out of line to expect it was possible for them to continue.

 

But really, the 2 injuries that happened in game were pretty flukey. The high ankle sprain coming around the net might happen to 1 (?) goalie per year in this league, and it just happened to happen to this one. The play on the boards w/ Kane started as just a routine check on the boards - nothing to see here, until Kane almost got past him and his leg got caught. And like Aud, until he got up, was thinking it was a broken ankle, so 6 weeks isn't THAT bad.

 

Hard to say on Bogo as we have little data about it. But wouldn't be surprised if that was flukey too.
