Recalled/Assigned: Brennan Othmann recalled from Hartford

[GoAwayPanarin]

They aren't carrying an extra forward and Pitlick is out.

he's playing guys. How much will be up for debate but he will play tomorrow and every game unless hes replaced by another call up.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Wow, just saw the brooks article in my news feed about the call up after a busy work day.

Kinda surprised but didn’t know about the Pitlick injury.

Go get em kiddo!

 

[GAGLine]

Playing with Chimpan A and Chimpan Z

Parker: Troy! Mac Parker. Ever hear of...Planet of the Apes?
Troy: Uh... the movie or the planet?
Parker: The brand-new multi-million dollar musical, and you are starring...as the human.
Troy: It's the part I was born to play, baby!

 

[Machinehead]

Remember his stupid nickname is Otter

It's Mothman now.

So it is written, so it shall be done.

You're surprised the Rangers didn't disclose Pitlick's injury before they leaked it to every media member after Othmann was recalled? The Rangers handle injury news like matters of national security.

Toss him up to 1RW. He said he can play the right wing. Give him a twirl up there. Wheeler needs to be moved down the lineup.

Othmann Empire

If there was ever a player where the nickname "Turk" would make sense, it's hit kid.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

We need to immediately bury this kid on the 4th line

[leetch99]

I agree 100%. I think he should have been left in Hartford for a full year of seasoning uninterrupted.

This kid has been through OHL playoffs and TWO World Juniors and played in Swiss league . He can handle the moment .

I honestly can't say if he can or can't....I just think he's better served staying in Hartford....of course, my opinion doesn't count for much.

No, I was suprised that they called up Othmann. But yeah treating injuries the way they do is silly

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I'd watch this sitcom.

The original with Briere and Couturier wasn't very good - cancelled after 4 episodes.

 

[McRanger92]

I feel like thy are very secretive about injuries because its what their players prefer.

 

[LOFIN]

Interesting

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Wow I hate it

 

[Mike in Houston]

4th line Othmann.

 

[bhamill]

Would love both.

Mothman and Entstrom in

Lickpits and Badrow out

Boner to the 4th line.

A man can dream…

I laughed.

This is a mistake for anything more than a cup of cofee. He is not ready and is in that point where rushing him makes him a perrenial third liner and letting him develop some more can make him a scoring 2nd liner. He's not there yet.

I am SURE it's just a cup of coffee unless he explodes up here. And if that happens, it was time.

 

[Profet]

This is one of those moments where you hope a kid see's his opportunity to shine and just kicks ass.

The last kid to actually take an opportunity like this and force his way into the lineup was Kreider (imo).

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Wow I hate it

I don't love it, but the kid has an edge to his game that can work on the 4th line.

Wheeler is playing like raw sewage on that first line, but Othmann can't really be expected to help there.

I'd argue for Chytil here

Cuylle?

 

[Profet]

Cuylle?

Different situation (imo) he proved himself in pre-season and has been a bit quiet since. Not bad.. just not burning any villages down.

Kreider came in for the playoffs and was a force in games that mattered.

True. Kreider also was not good in 2013 and spent time in Hartford

It's the Rangers way.
