"potentially"?
its clear as day, he's out for a while - who do we call up?
This is why I put potentially. It's not serious.

You almost seem upset that he's not seriously hurt."potentially"?

I already feel sick and he hasn't even done anything yet.Seeing Sammy back in the lineup warms my heart, a feel good moment for Leaf Nation.![]()
Oh come on now, I would never wish injury on anyone (well OK, maybe a fat lip and a black eye for Marchand, lemme think on that one a bit).You almost seem upset that he's not seriously hurt.
our boy Benoit had an assist last game cut him some slack.Capped out, and Benoit is in the top 4.
Glorious.
No he’s notCapped out, and Benoit is in the top 4.
Glorious.
Well, he's playing with McCabe, so that will drag his minutes up.No he’s not
It actually makes sense I think, the kid needs to play. My head says they did the right thing, but my heart says uh oh, B2B coming on the weekend so I guess we'll see Sammy play again. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us all and play great, we'll see,Sam is back and we sent down the kid?
Not really pay attention the time on ice they look more like the 3rd pair to me and he loses shifts to lily your top 4 doesn’t lose shifts to 3rd pair everWell, he's playing with McCabe, so that will drag his minutes up.

We really have no choice but to wait and see. The staff have seen the beast up close and maybe in practice he is just a sieve. Maybe he isn’t but we don’t know, time will tellSam is back and we sent down the kid?
In his last 4 games, he's played over 15 minutes, and in the last two, over 17; not exactly bottom-pairing minutes, is it?
Benoit has been pretty good, for what he is... no question about that. I have no idea where you came up with the idea he's in the top 4 though. Don't watch games? Never look at the stats sheets after games? I looked through the last four games... he's never been higher than 5th on the team for minutes played for D, in that time, and averages well below the other five... so, anyway so much for your fake news.

How is Benoit's playing time an issue? He's been solid.In his last 4 games, he's played over 15 minutes, and in the last two, over 17; not exactly bottom-pairing minutes, is it?
In the two prior wins (Pit and CBJ) to this California run, he was over 17 minutes again. Maybe there is something to it?
Anyway, it doesn't take much around here to ruffle people around here.
It's not on him; he's played well, all things considering; it's more commentary on what's around him.our boy Benoit had an assist last game cut him some slack.
Cant score a f*cken goal but he's been hitting the bodies for us and thats what we need. his man/puck separation per 60 is what we need

Well done; the D is still crap, though. and still, 17 minutes isn't your typical bottom pairing ice-time.Actually it is.. bottom pairing minutes. When you play the 5th or 6th most minutes of the D... that's bottom pairing minutes.
All it takes really, is to make statements claiming facts.. when they aren't.
What you are still trying to claim, is still false.

Well done; the D is still crap, though. and still, 17 minutes isn't your typical bottom pairing ice-time.
And the wider point seems to have been missed that depth of D on this team isn't that good.
It actually makes sense I think, the kid needs to play. My head says they did the right thing, but my heart says uh oh, B2B coming on the weekend so I guess we'll see Sammy play again. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us all and play great, we'll see,
Indeed... when you are winning games the way that we have, you balance out the minutes. In games where we haven't dominated teams, he gets less playing time, which is why his season average is 15 minutes... plus, he's legitimately pretty good, and has earned more playing time, earned PK time.
When your #8 D man to start the year, comes in plays 24 games for you, and averages 1.8 GA/60, and has the best GA/60 of any D man on the PK, that is in fact VERY GOOD depth. Plus he's been physical, he's had fights.... I mean if that's bad depth, you know where your #8 has league leading GA/60 and PK GA/60, while being top 50 in hits/60.... well, umm... The depth on this team is one of the best in the league.
If you want to make the statement that we could use an upgrade higher up in the lineup... yup, I'd fully agree with you.
Interesting thought. My guess would still be that it's Sammy who plays and that does maybe make sense, as much as many of us would like to see what the big white hope is all about.they could still call Hildeby up after he plays on Friday. Might make sense for him to shake off the rust with another AHL game before he gets a shot on Sunday.
