So is Toffoli dead or what? Seems odd that there has been zero mention of him.

Haven't seen any updates. Still Injured.

Haven't seen any updates. Still Injured.

"Medium-term injury. Darryl said he hoped to see him skating at the end of the last week, but then clarified it to say that hope was in "capital letters." Hasn't skated. Only working out."

^from jon rosen earlier.

Who?

 

[tsanuri]

Toffoli is at least back on the ice today.
First step to getting him back.

yup still sounds like he is at least a week out.

 

[deeshamrock]

yup still sounds like he is at least a week out.

Sutter:

“Once we came back and had the doctor’s evaluation we were told a three-to-six week time frame, so yesterday was four weeks, so we thought he’d be a little further ahead, but at the same time, there’s a fine line between the healing and the training,†he said.

Every injury is on it's own timeframe.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Lombardi should sell as much dead weight as he can. This team isn't going anywhere without the top guys playing much better and a healthy Quick (they should shut him down for the season)and look towards next year.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a dick move



Rub it in more will ya

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Shutout incoming.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Waive Shore, trade King and or Clifford and call up Kempe and Mersch.

Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown
Pearson-Carter-Toffoli
Mersch-Dowd-Setogucci
Clifford/Andreoff-Kempe-Lewis
extra: Nolan

Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown

Mersch-Dowd-Setogucci
Clifford/Andreoff-Kempe-Lewis
extra: Nolan

The is no way they're going to waive Shore. While he isn't a scorer, he seems to have Sutter's trust more this year. I'd just add Nolan to your trade list and insert AA into starting lineup. At the end of season, if he hasn't improved, move him.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

New lines according to Rosen:

Lines, via color coding: 74-11-12, 70-77-23, 15-26-22, 13-21-71/10

Ziggy called King getting moved up to the first line

 

[Johnny Utah]

Stale as usual.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

New lines according to Rosen:

grrr i was just starting to like him with his pk game now this damn

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That roster just looks so offensively inept when any top-sixer is missing. Need Toffoli.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

grrr i was just starting to like him with his pk game now this damn

Don't fault the player for being put into that position. Look to the coach and the GM.

Gaborik-Kopitar-Brown
Pearson-Carter-Toffoli
Mersch-Dowd-Setogucci
Clifford/Andreoff-Kempe-Lewis
extra: Nolan

Mersch is injured, and Kempe is struggling to be an AHL impact player.

Only until recent, did Kempe finally step up his game a little.

Brodzinski is the guy, that deserves a call-up.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Don't fault the player for being put into that position. Look to the coach and the GM.

Where did i say i faulted him. Its always been where hes being played and more mins that bothers me. I was starting to appreciate his defense when hes on limited mins im ok with his play.

as you just said hes stepped up his game a little Kempe is the player needed not Brodzinski However i would be happy to see either of them at least tried before trades happen

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What you wrote made it seem like it's his fault he's put in a top six role.

 

[damacles1156]

I am guessing the Kings brass feels, guys like Brodzinski are better off (right now) remaining in the AHL.

I don't agree, but here we are.

Brodzinski could have filled in for Toffoli, and gained some valuable experience.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

What you wrote made it seem like it's his fault he's put in a top six role.

That makes no sense if it was up to each player how much ice time or where he played Drew would never leave the ice. I suggest when you read my post deal with what the posts say and not assume crap. This is where we always go off in tangents because of each others assumptions. Also its not deans fault where King plays he does not send them on the ice I blame Sutter 100% for putting King in the top 6. I blame Dean for not giving him other options for said top 6 Ie bringing someone up from the ahl better suited then king for the top 6

 

[The Tikkanen]

King has gone 16 games without a point and 21 without a goal. Totally somebody who has worked his way onto the top line.
