Danielson's season will end either Monday or Tuesday night. So, theoretically he could be available for the next series, logistics aside.

The question would be whether Dan Watson wants to try and indoctrinate a total new guy at this point of their season.

If they win, don't they have the WHL championship series still to play?
 
Ah, I thought they were currently in the final for the WHL. Didn't realize what else was involved, I can't keep up with all these Canadian junior leagues.

Is it only one game?
Lombardi is bottom 6 and only one year older. Pretty sure Danielson is better defensively
 
So, maybe Im just slow....but how has nobody thrown out a La Cossa Nostra reference for our 1st round goalie who is carrying our hopes and dreams and coming up huge in these playoffs so far? Quietly killing em this season!

Luff has been out two games, is it because of an injury? He's a pretty important guy for them. Interesting they've gone with seven D minus Spezia, Luff and Hanas, who also might be dealing with something if not just scratched.

Milwaukee had to wait to see who won the play in between Texas and Manitoba. Griffins series technically started early.

Think the series ended same night though or a day off

feels like forever since griffins played and Milwaukee series is game 3 tonight could be a sweep for all I know, havent checked who's winning
 
Extra playoff series and travel considerations responsible for schedule mishmash. Probably a benefit to GR considering injuries and a chance to evaluate some shaky first-round moments. Hopefully Luff returns, he's an important player.

Amazing really that the NHL hasn't yet expanded playoffs. It's inevitable, probably to 20 teams. A one-week delay for best-of-three series among eight total WC qualifiers could work pretty easily. Every other major NA pro league has done it. What AHL is doing could be the preamble for NHL adoption within a couple years.

it's inevitability especially if the league expands to 36 teams which is gross.

Milwaukee wins again, series goes to a decisive game 5.

Griffins will have to fight off some serious rust when they finally play again.
 
Should a NHL parent team be eliminated, Can can they drop eligible players down to the A for the post season run?

Also... it would seem the NHL parent would fund the AHL teams in the post season at a higher level. Just letting them fly coach on Southwest is better than the bus and has their post season better mirror that of the NHL.

Yes if they were on the AHL roster at the deadline, but waivers rules still apply. That is why Burger wasn't called up at the end of the season.

Thanks.

Thought I recalled a few players going down during the GR runs to the Calder (from other teams), I just didn't know the rules.
