Player Discussion Shane Pinto (C) - PART 2

[Boud]

Claire Hanna speculating that this is a shoulder injury during the intermission. She did “correct” herself afterwards saying she had no confirmation on the issue but I find it hard to believe she would specifically mention that if she didn’t hear something.

Hoping it’s not a shoulder that’s for sure…

They showed a clip of him grabbing at his leg/knee, I was weirdly relieved. Of course, that might not have been the injury.

Poor Pinto. The rate this kid is going that he is never going to get that big contract because he can't seem to get a full season in.

I found that segment very frustrating, either they know, or they don't. Why are they talking like it's his shoulder when there is literally nothing public to suggest thats the issue? if they know on background, they really just screwed up the relationship with that source the way they stumbled through "speculation" on it. If they don't have any inside info, they are just drumming up panic for absolutely no reason.

When Pinto makes his return, would it make sense to play him at right wing with Brady and Stutzle? I'm just thinking the top line needs someone. Grieg is ok but not as dynamic as I'd like.

When everyone is healthy and returned:

Tkachuk Stutzle Pinto
Batherson Norris Giroux
Perron Grieg Amadio
Cousins Gregor MacEwan

Sanderson Zub
Chabot Jensen
Kleven JBD

Ullmark
Forsberg

Ostapchuk looked good last night against the Blues. He's very close to being a full time NHL player.

What was the stat they showed last night? The top 3 Cs on Ottawa bave played together 40 games out of 222 or something like that?

As johnson was saying last night, I'm sure we all hope they can be healthy for 50 games this year so we can actually see what we've got.
