Yup, Semin is out. The injury he was laboring finally made him to sit out this game.

I'm OK with this, better having him sit out a few now then having this negatively effecting him heading into next season by exacerbating things here.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Ward is a below average goalie. Just because Peters/Elllis are beyond terrible doesn't disprove this.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Black alternate uniforms tonight.

45-0 loss

Or,maybe he'd play if team believed they would make playoffs, and this is an official white flag of surrender.

@PaulBranecky

Some nights you don't even know if he's coming to the rink #brouwered

Tlusty-E.Staal-Dwyer
Skinner-J.Staal-Ruutu
Bowman-Nash-LaRose
Westgarth-Brent-Dalpe

 

[Joe McGrath]

Drove 11 hours to my first game in 2 years. Semin not on ice for warm ups. **** this team.

 

[DaveG]

Part of my thinking on this one as well. We're not completely done, but we're as good as done.

... please tell me you have Dwyer and Dalpe reversed

 

[Oenatzu]

Nope, and actually I'm surprised that it's Dwyer and not LaRose.

but...but..but if he were healthy we'd be leading the division!

Compete level >>> nice smile

 

[Gr8Dan]

So we actually are "Stop Winning for Mackinnon" and "Doing meth for Seth"

 

[CanesAvs16]

we are *********

Michael Smith tweets that Westgarth is also scratched so 7 d-men will dress tonight.

This is good news at least...

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Bergeron as a forward? At least they've stopped pretending he can play an iota of defense.

For anybody not tuned in yet, forward lines are:

Tlusty-Staal-Dwyer
Skinner-Staal-Ruutu
Bowman-Nash-LaRose
Bergeron-Brent-Dalpe

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Amazing check by Rosie there

How long till Ward or Faulk are back for you guys?

 

[garnetpalmetto]

How long till Ward or Faulk are back for you guys?

Faulk should be back soonish - next few games maybe?

Ward is out for the remainder of the regular season. IE with the way our season is going, he's out until next season.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Skinner is ****ing awful

 

[Razputyn]

Skinner is ****ing awful

Because he's looking like our best player so far? Because he had 3 chances on that last shift? Or is this

"Boy, Jeff Skinner's played a good first period" - MSG commentators

 

[rocky7]

Or,maybe he'd play if team believed they would make playoffs, and this is an official white flag of surrender.

"white flag"!!!! Or the outside possibility that his injury that he was playing with for several games now did finally progress to the point that he just simply can't play. Wonder what it is, how long exactly it has been and what caused it. Hope they announce it now.

 

[Novacane]

Skinner's had a great game.

 

[CanesAvs16]

Well.. lets see if they can keep up that energy for the next 40.
