Sorry folks posted this in prospects thread but update on Elias Salomonsson was he's gonna be out for at least a couple of weeks (which is better than how it looked last Friday).

Game was closer than 6-3 but Moose lose sixth straight:








Do you have an update on Zhilkin?

Lucius and Lambert started together this game? Lucius and Tyrel Bauer got torched by Samuel Honzek. That's a good prospect in the Flames organization. Mason Shaw looks like he is trying to play for a 4th line callup.

Arena looked empty. AHL should only play weekends if they want to draw any crowds.

Moose are having such a tough season and I don’t think that helps with Wednesday night crowds when it’s minus 25 out either.

Guess he wanted to go back to Finland.

Wonder if Torgersson is dropped next.
Torgersson played last night. Might want to keep him around to integrate Wagner, who has also sat a lot since being brought over. Maybe has some minimal trade value, if he gets a shot in another organization.

Just thinking out loud here but the Moose have started horribly the last two years and they’re just getting dummied.

There has been such a consistent approach with the Moose with Zinger and now Morrison… when do they look at a change? Not a lot of good down there.

Pretty sure Heisinger has a golden ticket to work for True North until he retires, for some reason. Morrison has been a little disappointing as coach, but not awful... 3 playoff appearances in 3 seasons as HC but no playoff series wins. Looks like they will probably miss the playoffs altogether this season but the reality is that this roster is weak, especially on defence, so I'm not sure how much is fair to put on the coach. I do have to wonder, if we'd had Lucius full time and Fleury and/or Coghlan on defence, the Moose might be in a better spot. On D they just really need someone other than Salo who can get stops in their end and make a solid first pass.

Zinger knows where the bodies are buried!

Zhilkin was pushing to return for the final two games of the homestand but wasn't quite ready. Mark said "he's close" but not "game ready" back on Dec 5th. They practice today in BC so possible he plays tomorrow night against the Canucks.

No surprise that Nikkanen is heading back to Finland.
