This may come across as too generous, but they're playing now like a group concerned about their teammates.

Jack being healthy is critical to everyone playing in a reasonable role. They aren't going to be super competitive if he misses significant time this year 

[MODO Hockey]

Now we will know .. 

[CallawaySabres]

Other than the goal, that was a pretty terrible period Of hockey

[WanderingEye]

I'm guessing Sam will just need some patching up but I hope it's not Jack's damn ankles again.

[Huckleberry]

You can see thompson hasn't played in a while.

[...]

Skinner and Pommenstilskin need Jack.

[French Collection]

Sportsnet feed showed Jack and Schaller hit their legs. Looked innocent enough, hope they show it again.

[Tondas]

Jack and Rhino out.  Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

[DarthEbriate]

Living in my fantasy world.... I prefer to think that they just needed to hop on the tandem bike and head down to the station to pick up some power converters. They'll be back.

[darksabre]

I predict they both start the second period.

Without Rhino or not is like, meh

But beeing without Jack is like Washington playing without Ovie, significant difference

Pretty solid 1st. Decided to watch the game on the big screen in other room  so no access to computer when playing.

Not sure what happened to Jack or Sam but agree with what Larry on top line, although he should have had a goal not a post. 

 

Tage continues to look like a player who has not played and not ready... Hope he can come up to speed quick, grigs would have been better at least was man extra in a pinch can center.

 

Looks like Hutton is on his game lets hope the rest of the team is as well and can pick up the slack of missing 2 forwards..

Good point. Zemgus would allow a bit more flexibility. But Berglund, Sobotka, (and even Thompson, although untrustworthy on our team thus far) can handle center duties. So far, it's Larsson....

hope ur right

[DarthEbriate]

This replay is just like Vancouver's slick goal earlier. Except of course the Canucks scored on it. Good chance, though.   Ahh -- and now Biron mentioned the Petterson goal.

Larsson is the better fit tbh, Berglund is to slow for his wings if given first, that is facts. 

[Randall Flagg]

I had also been hearing that Jack has been nursing something with a knee or leg or groin since preseason when he missed that game and had the occasional maintenance days early on. 

[Sabel79]

No Jack to start the second.  Fuuuuuuucccc...k

[Taro T]

Reinhart on bench.

[That Aud Smell]

[Randall Flagg]

Sam is back. 

Just have to hope that Jack's thing isn't long-term.

[That Aud Smell]

God dammit!!!!

[Taro T]

Jack & team doc still in dressing room.
