cshea said:If Fraser clears he can stay. Once he clears they would have a 30 day window to assign him to Providence without needing waivers. If he's claimed they'll have to call someone up.
Also kenney taking Mike Green like 7th overall in that Real Fantast draft is the worst pick in hindsight that I've come across so far. Phaneuf shorty after was bad. Yikes.
Reardons Beard said:I'm guessing Marchand and Smith skate with 46 but curious to see how it shakes out tonight.
God I hate this seasonThe Four Peters said:Also, Bergeron and Lucic are both out for tonight. Lovely. Need to recall a forward (Fraser on emergency recall?) to fill out the lineup.
Salem's Lot said:
This is Claude we're talking about. Those guys will be skating with Kelly.
The Four Peters said:
Yawn. They were skating with Krejci at practice.
You haven't watched many games this year, have you?
Salem's Lot said:
I've watched them all thank you. I didn't get to see the morning skate lines yet. I was making an assumption based on a few years of watching this guy coach.
TheShynessClinic said:And it's also not uncommon for Claude to try interesting line combinations in the morning skate, but going with more traditional lines come game time.
While I agree with this in theory, Chiarelli also built most of this team and put himself in the position he is in cap wise. I think pretty much all of us would have put all our chips in last year so I don't fault him completely, but he's still hamstrung by his own decisions outside of just what he did for last year. He's paying good money for guys who just aren't producing and I am assuming all the NM clauses he handed out don't help with trades.Salem's Lot said:Nobody should be fired either this year or next. Chiarelli has earned the right to be allowed to rebuild this team given the success that he's lead them to since he's been on the job. If they are in the same or worse situation in '16-'17 then it'll be time for Cam to make a decision on the GM, until then let's see what they come up with. That doesn't mean that we can't critique individual moves as they happen.
Saint Louis is French right?TheShynessClinic said:Huh?
Patrik Berglund. From Saint Louis.
Yeah my thought was a complete non-sequitur. I just saw Lucic, Montreal, and Trade in the same sentence and that hypothetical popped into my head. It was completely unrelated to Berglund.The Four Peters said:If Lucic got traded to Montreal, I think the entire NHL would explode.
IIRC, the rule is interpreted at the moment they cross the hashmarks in the defensive zone. In this situation, Bartkowski had gotten ahead of the Detroit player just prior to that point, thus the icing call.LogansDad said:I've come to the conclusion that i will never understand hybrid icing. I thought the Detroit players was clearly ahead of the defenseman on that last one.
