Tuch on injured Reserve

[Norcal]

Well that sucks

 

[HumanSlinky39]

[bg17]

I think he blocked a shot late that ricocheted back down the ice  

Rousek, Vinnie, or Kulich? Place your bets. 

[Eleven]

we can't have nice things...

[GoPuckYourself]

Well that's brutal.

I suspect Asplund gets inserted and somebody else gets a bump up the lineup. Vinnie gets called up.
 

But there ain’t no replacing Tuch, that’s for damn sure.

Oh! What does a stroke feel like? I think I might be having one 

 

What is the timeline for IR? Is there a minimum time he will have to be

out? 

[FrenchConnection44]

Bummer. Total bummer.

But the more significant issue is, for how long? A 7 day IR or 30 day IR? 

[LGR4GM]

I'd pull up Rousek. See what you have in him. 

[Taro T]

Durn it.

Get well soon, Alex.  The team needs your forecheck.

[Taro T]

Would go off the boad and slide Quinn into his spot the next 2 games.

[Norcal]

I just hope it's not long term

He'd do fine

[thewookie1]

IR is 7 day minimum I believe; likely primarily meant in order to make a callup

[shrader]

There’s no reason to put him on IR unless someone is getting called up.

Expect there's a good chance of it.

Rip playoffs

[Thorner]

Son of a b*tch. 

Should be ok as long as it’s not LT. Too bad KO isn’t skating like last year or I’d throw him on the top line for now 

[Crusader1969]

I wonder why they wouldn’t bring up someone who is waiver exempt ?   
 

guess they figure no one is claiming Vinnie

I don’t think the Islanders are throwing in the towel without Barzal. Panthers without Barkov etc etc. This is a big blow depending on how long it lasts but we are still playing with found money re:injuries this year - we’ve been well-off relatively on that front 

If Tage can carry his line w/o Tuch, he’ll go a long way towards solidifying his case for a Hart nomination 

Hope it’s just a couple games

Don't understand your Q.

Hinostroza doesn't have to go through waivers again unless he plays in 10 more Sabres games or is on the roster for 30 more days.  Waivers aren't a factor in deciding who to bring up with Tuch hurt.

Our team is thinner.  That line is 50% of our production.

Thanks for the clarification.  I did not know that 

[Crusader1969]

GMKA needs to circle back to Mike Grier and see what it would take to get Meier. 
The experience of Playing vs Car or Bos in playoffs would be extremely valuable, even if the series only goes 4 or 5 games 

 

[aristocrat]

Gotta hope he can be back for playoffs. Get  on the phone and try and replace him. Talbot, schenn, Meier
