[Napoli]

This is exciting, hopefully Z is alright.

 

[Monstershockey]

Good for Mateychuk. Hope he does good.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Good for Mateychuk. Hope he does good.

I hope you never see him in the RMFH again.

• Defensemen Zach Werenski returned to Saturday’s game after suffering a left leg injury when he slammed into the boards early in the third period. He returned to play but was clearly hobbled. The Philadelphia Flyers scored all five goals with him on the ice. Evason had an alarming quote after the game, saying Werenski’s injury “seized up” in the third period and overtime. As of Sunday morning, the Blue Jackets did not have an update on Werenski. They aren’t scheduled to practice, either.

I only watched the goal highlights so I have no idea how bad he looked out there in general after getting banged up, but that out of the way... If it turns out Werenski ends up missing time and it's reasonable to believe continuing playing made the injury worse, one might question if blowing a game you should've won was worth it.

Now can some of you withhold your criticism of his game and the mistakes he will inevitably make while he grows into his game in the NHL? Let me answer that…….probably not

Honestly, I think the recall of Mateychuk from Cleveland right now means that he is questionable for tomorrow for sure.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Based on his play in Cleveland, Mateychuk is probably ready for a taste of the NHL independent of Z's possible injury.

He may never see the AHL again. If he can hang in the NHL then let him develop against the best.

Look man, if he doesn't score 3 goals on his first 3 shots, finish +7, get a Gordie Howe hat-trick and hip check Gallagher into the 200 level, then he's a BUST.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I’m guessing Z is out and Greaves is getting the net tomorrow.

 

[koteka]

So Greaves is the backup but he gets his AHL money most days? His contract is $800k for NHL and $250k for AHL this season. Yes, it is the contract he signed, but I doubt he expected to be treated like this.

 

[GoJackets1]

Sweet, we just added a top 4 D-man. Not to mention, he’ll probably already be our 2nd best defenseman for OT.

I feel like that is the hype he is being given honestly. People talk like he's going to step into the lineup and be a Norris contender from day one.

We are really desperate for a guy to come in and take the league, if not by storm, at least by heavy rain.

But I wish we could just let the guy forge his own path and if thats what it is, its what it is. If that's not what it is, then people will call it a disappointment.
