Big Guava Posted November 15 Report Posted November 15 Guess he won't be back the game after this one Quote

Know that technically Kulich is a C, but he hasn't played there at the NHL level. Do they keep Krebs 3rd line C and bump either Quinn or Kulich onto the 4th line with Lafferty at C there? Does anybody other than the 4 guys that have been seeing time at C besides Thompson have C in his NHL past? We seem to be looking at a 3C - 9W situation. (Which doesn't QUITE work.) Am presuming that Aube-Kubel is the odd man out and not Quinn. (Not sure if that's a great call, but A-K is the 1st guy to have his butt stapled to the bench when the bench shortens and Quinn is, for now, on the top PP unit.) Quote

So, this just means that he'll necessarily miss the Filly game. They don't play in LA until Wednesday (9 days after the Habs game) so even getting IR'd if Tage is good to go by then he can be activated. And Ruff doesn't seem to be happy with Aube-Kubel, so Kulich gets the call-up. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted November 15 Report Posted November 15 Jordan Greenway may also miss the Philly game. 2 Quote

(And they have 4C's dressed if he is playing as the 12th F as Krebs and Lafferty won't be on the same line (at least until Ruff shortens the bench).) Quote
DarthEbriate Posted November 15 Report Posted November 15 Greenway out on a defensively challenged team? Quote

But then again, if that’s the case, why not just send Levi down? Quote

Could be either he's closer to week to week than Lukkonnen is or they figure that if tomorrow morning they find out one or both of them is feeling well enough to play they'd rather it be UPL they get back into the lineup if they can only have 1. Thought that after the Moe-ray-all game that Ruff said they'd taken UPL out as a precautionary measure - he hadn't felt right the day before but he felt well enough to play so they went with him (implying it could be an illness and not an injury; perhaps am reading too much into Ruff's Monday comments) but decided to pull him for the 3rd; which would also imply that UPL is/was closer to being good to go than Thompson.

I’ll be honest, I just want to get a goalie out of here. Carrying 3 is by far my most hated roster decision. 2 Quote

I would not put him at center, he has only played wing in the NHL. . Quote

Wasn't anticipating Greenway to possibly be out. If he is, then they have 4 "regular" C's as Lafferty takes the 4th line and Krebs the 3rd. Was expecting Aube-Kubel being out and Ruff putting the regular 4th line back together like he did last night. With Greenway out, one of Benson, Quinn, or more likely Kulich takes his spot on a very hodgepodge 3rd line (Zucker - Krebs - Kulich most likely). Quote
Doohicksie Posted November 16 Report Posted November 16 You say hodgepodge. I'm looking forward to it. Quote

PerreaultForever Posted November 16 Report Posted November 16 They are so weird with injury reporting. He goes from "might play Thursday" to placed on IR after not playing. It seems every year there's injuries where we are just wondering wtf is it? Quote

It seems every year there's injuries where we are just wondering wtf is it? All it means is that he’s not ready and they need to free a roster spot to call him up. As taro said earlier, it only rules him out for just this one game. 1 Quote

Keep forgetting hockey and baseball have a retroactive IR whereas the NFL does not. Edited November 16 by Big Guava 1 Quote
