Is Edvinsson injured? Didn't play Wednesday or today?

He was sick earlier this week, not sure about today

Is Edvinsson injured? Didn't play Wednesday or today?

I saw somewhere that he was sick.

First point for Albert Johansson last night. Haven't seen any of the games. How has he been playing?

 

[RabidBadger]

My dude, you need to watch more SHL. Having a higher PPG average there and lower in the AHL is not indicative of the league being weaker.

I'm on board with that after seeing guys nearly double their production going from NCAA to CHL. Points don't always tell the story in leagues that have different playing styles.

Cross Hanas is having:

6+4=10 points in 12 games.

Becoming our shiny diamond down there. Our youngerst forward kid, doing well vs, vets and older guys.

Specifically, your post described Hanas as gritty, a pest, and can play on any line in the NHL. That's what I was disagreeing with. I've said from the outset that I expect him to put up points at the AHL level. It's like the perfect environment for him, his offensive skill plays up and his poor skating plays down.

 

[jfrank21]

He's gonna be in the bigs. Putting up Bertuzzi like numbers as a 19 and now 20 year old. A little more work on his skating and he'll be a shoo in. The team clearly likes him, based on how much they featured him during the prospects tourney and training camp, and Bob Kaser is raving about him on the broadcasts in GR...all signs point to him being in the long term plans.

Cross Hanas again! Team-Leading 7th Goal with under 10 sec left to force the game to OT

Is edvinsson hurt? I was under the impression he was just Ill, but it’s been 3 games now

They said on the broadcast last night he had been sick but skated yesterday morning. Not sure if he was still recovering today or what.

New wave of corona has been going on here in Finland, and takes usually at least 5 days, nearer of a full week to be back healthy.

Edvinsson practicing again, but no exact return date yet:

Simon Edvinsson Feeling Better, Practicing Again With Grand Rapids Griffins

After missing the past three Grand Rapids Griffins games with illness, defenseman Simon Edvinsson is feeling better and practicing with the team. The Griffins play a Wednesday morning (11 a.m.) home game against the Rockford IceHogs. However, the Griffins haven’t said officially that Edvinsson...

I hope Edvinsson's sickness isn't concussion-related. Didn't it come out last year that he was dealing with post-concussion symptoms when he was out with illness?

I think there were multiple times where he got hit high and people assumed he had a concussion, but coaches said he was out with illness. So there was speculation on both ends I guess.

 

[HoweFan]

Two points for Johansson last night. Nice to see him on track

 

[De Montreal]

How does Jared McIsaac look this year? He finally seems healthy. Is he a candidate for a call-up?

 

[Fil Larkmanthanasiou]

Edvinsson is out again after playing last night. Anybody know why?

 

[KOS21]

Pontus Andreasson doing pretty well, 9 points in his last 10, can anybody who watches him play describe his style a bit? is he a good two way player? potential call up this season?

 

[Filppula]

How good is goaltending? How good is Ben Simon?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

How good are the hot dogs at van andel arena? How do they compare to Costco?

 

[jfrank21]

This guy likes them!

 

[NickH8]

How good are the hot dogs at van andel arena? How do they compare to Costco?

They look really sad but are pretty tasty

 

[Preposterone]

Griffs get the 3-0 shutout. Ed looked pretty good

 

[wingerdinger]

Andreasson with a goal and assist as well. He's so hot right now.

 

[SantosHalper]
