Damn injuries piling up, Kulich, Ivan, Vanecek, Lauko, Faksa and especially Hronek still out
Wonder when Hronek will be back, he is out for maybe two months already right now

How bad we talking? Days, weeks, months?
Post game coaching press huddle, it was mentioned as being "hopefully short term".

Ivan had some momentum, will be hard to get back into lineup.
Kulich.. same thing.
Vanecek got hit on the bench with a puck.lol That is some shit luck unless I misread it.
Agree.. need hronek. Especially Vancouver because Hughes is out too. Hronek would be getting 27 a night right now and I'd love it! I think it's a good thing because I think he was hurt in playoffs last year and his shoulder has been off. So I'm hoping this fixes it up and gets him back to his elite half season form.lol

Speaking of injuries.. did NOT expect this at all
FTR... probably my biggest gripe is Kral in AHL and then probably returning to Europe. I feel there is an NHLer here.

Haha last dance for Jeník before returning to Europe lol.
I love the guy but he just doesn't have a chance to play NHL regularly imo. Still he can be a top euro player and a very good player for national team in the future

Kulich out week to week so that sounds like a little while.
Also, Hronek is a bust.. he's been assigned to the AHL... loser.
Just kidding.. sort of. He's assigned to AHL on a conditioning stint so he will play a few games and then be back in NHL soon which is very good news! He should get a lot of primo opportunity in Vancouver right now (unless Hughes is back).

I was legit fine with a reset. Finish in Iowa. Work in whatever needs fixing. I was actually hoping this callup was Spacek and give him his first taste of NHL action...
Now I have hope and anticipate he gets 5 minutes TOI and I can go back to bitxhign.lol

Thats the beauty of being a top 10 pick, you can underperform and still get a chance lol, cause teams dont want to see their precious top picks wasted so the will try to sqeeze it at all costs

Chytil is dead again. Upper body injury. They haven’t said what kind of upper body injury or the severity, but if it’s a head injury, oh boy. It wasn’t clear when or how it happened. He just left the game yesterday after the second period.
He was just starting to find his game too the prior few games after a slow start. Even if not a head injury, he just cannot avoid injuries. It’s a shame.
Because if he ever stays healthy for a prolonged amount of time he’ll be in the top 6 (Zibanejad is cooked and Trocheck has been bad this season too). Chytil has a big opportunity right now, and it doesn’t seem like he can keep himself on the ice long enough to snag it.

Not playing tonight, but this is good! Must’ve not been a concussion. Sucks that he’s so fragile, but seems like a relatively positive update.

I'll argue fragile as concussions are a bit more about bad luck IMO. Once you get one, the next one is easier to get and the next one after that is easier to get. Same with Voracek and O. Kase. Concussions just suck.
To your above point.. it's infuriating. He has all the skill and opportunity on a very good franchise and I'm not sure it'll ever fully come together for him and the Rangers.
He will be a 60 game player.. than a 50 game player, than a good Euro is my guess and I HATE that because I love Chytil and his spot on the Rangers.

I think he'll have a job in the NHL as long as he wants to play hockey (within reason). I don't think he's a real threat to bust out of the NHL. He's shown he's a quality player in the league. I think there will always be a demand for what he can bring from NHL teams, but how long he can play hockey is a serious question. He's 25 and seems one or two more concussions away from calling it quits.

I don't think he hits 30 in the NHL. I hope I'm dead wrong of course! Skillwise, he should make 35 comfortably. Tell is to Jakub Voracek!lol

Btw after today ELH game Sikora encouraged Třinec fans to boo him out of the venue as a joke, while enjoying it like crazy.
Love the attitude of this guy and the big f*** you to the stupid Canadian antifans lol
Way to go

Don't even get me started on the reaction to him.
The knee was blatant as hell. No human can argue that he wasn't kneed. It was even reviewed and deemed a knee. The fact they don't like what he did AFTER being illegally kneed is infuriating. Every argument I read was about his reaction to being kneed and not about him being kneed.lol
My understanding is that if you get illegally kneed and are not injured you must stand up and smile and tell the ref you are okay with being kneed between your knee and balls.lol
I even read shit that read from the 1980s..
his feet were planted
he didn't jump
What the f*** does that have to do with an illegal knee?lol
And NO ONE will EVER convince me he wasn't f***en blatantly and illegally kneed. Just cause he wasn't hurt doesn't mean he wasn't kneed and I am POSITIVE it hurt like hell. I was thrilled it wasn't a serious injury after the very illegal knee. I was thrilled they reviewed it and determined it was clearly a f***en knee.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm putting Sikora on my next Czech Jersey and wearing it to Leafs games.lol
