Injury Report: Oct. 24: Andrew MacDonald LBI (knee) ; Nov. 15 update: could return around Nov. 22

[Cmoneyflyguy]

not only does our D suck, but we lose our top three for significant time?
It's not even fair...
Apparently Alt has a name plate in the locker room

 

[FlyerSithLord]

Alt's called up according to twitter. Hopefully he'll play well enough to force their hand when some of our injured get back.

These injuries are getting crazy. Anybody know what Sami Kapanen is doing these days?

 

[OriginJM]

this is a godsend

LETS GET SOME NEW D (or some phantoms) UP IN THERE WOOOO

 

[Schwarbomb]

Unleash the Great Dane.

 

[CutOnDime97]

We want HAGG

 

[Curufinwe]

Losing two of our three best defenders for a month is not a good thing.

 

[tade]

Jay Rosehill is listed as D according to hockeydb, maybe he will be call up for our defense?

 

[CutOnDime97]

Unleash the Great Dane.

Good god no

 

[Schwarbomb]

Good god no

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Losing two of our three best defenders for a month is not a good thing.

This year is irrelevant and the team sucked with them anyway. Best to get a better draft pick to add to the pipeline of prospects that are being built up.

 

[Embiid]

Thanks Obama!

 

[sa cyred]

Hmm. My guess at pairings

Streit-Grossmann
Del Zotto-Schenn
Schultz-Alt

...our thirs pairing become our second.

I just don't see what Goon Boy sees in that Luke/MDZ pairing

 

[Appleyard]

This is comical now!

What the hell especially with Coburn... that just seems like incompetence. But then we all know our medical staffs history of competence.

Hopefully Alt plays great and means they trade Grossmann when AMac and Coburn are back:

Coburn-Streit
AMac-Alt
MDZ-Schenn

One can hope... right?

 

[Curufinwe]

It's a team that could quite easily make the playoffs with a healthy MacDonald and Coburn. Being happy that they got injured is a terrible attitude for a fan to have.

 

[Embiid]

I've got 2 tix to the LA game...anybody want them? ugh!

He was playing with his son last year in KalPa, I think he's retired for good now.

No, wanting a mediocre team who has no chance at getting past the 1st round to make the PO's and give up draft position is a terrible attitude for a fan to have. I want wants best for this franchise long term.

 

[Appleyard]

So we went from:

Coburn (#2)
Timonen (#2/3)
Streit (#3)
MacDonald (#4)
Grossmann (#5)
Schenn (#6)
Schultz (#7)

to

Streit (#3)
Grossmann (#5)
Schenn (#6)
MDZ (#6)
Schultz (#7)
Alt (#Unknown)

in the space of 2 months and 19 days.

(I am being nice to Grossmann and saying he is a #5 as he was for a long time...)

 

[FLYguy3911]

The way people talk about MacDonald, we should be better now right?

On the other hand, Luke Schenn back on the PP?

 

[SuchySays]

No, wanting a mediocre team who has no chance at getting past the 1st round to make the PO's and give up draft position is a terrible attitude for a fan to have. I want wants best for this franchise long term.

nah. i'd say your attitude is terrible.

being happy about an injury. pathetic.

Red = Should win.
Yellow = Should compete.
Purple = Loss.

That schedule is not half as bad as our first 7 games.

 

[chupanibre]

^We call for Alt, Hagg or Ghost, but this will probably happen
