Uh huh. That's my point, he's made similar statements before and the players were out for several more games.

Well, when Norris got hurt in the game vs the Wild, Green said he'd miss a few weeks. That was a few weeks ago, so seems right on schedule.

Pinto I think they were hopeful would be ready for the game against Fla if I recall, but that may have been before they were able to do further testing. .

Some injuries don't have as clear of a timeline as others. Broken bones are pretty easy, while something like a bad back is close to throwing darts to figure out when they'll be back.

Seems like making a mountain out of a molehill to me,
 
Great, so you're ok with telling the fanbase a player will be out "a few games" and then that player is out for 2-3 weeks?

This has been happening all season long. Maybe if it was just near the TDL I'd understand, but the fans deserve some transparency from the team when it comes to injuries.
Day to day and a few weeks are the same thing, we don't know it could be any time. Could they play in the playoffs, maybe, but against Montreal when we have another 3 days off? Maybe you sit out.

Most teams are vague about injuries, unless you are Vegas and everyone needs to go on LTIR.

criticism of Green has shifted from his ability to coach in this league to the appearance of perhaps not being completely forth coming on when players are to return from injuries. Have to whine about something.

I think it's way too soon to laud Travis Green's coaching abilities.

Right now the team is essentially in the same spot that we were at the end of February 2023, under DJ Smith, right before we went out and acquired Chychrun. Just out of a wildcard spot but very much "in the mix"!

We tailspinned the rest of that year.

What will happen this season? Well... we're currently on a 4 game losing streak so it's not looking great.

Gotta disagree here. Even if our offense has disappeared and despite all the injury troubles, we've played a better defensive game. Even guys like Bath and Brady who are normally liabilities in our own zone are no longer cheating for offense and are involved in our own end. I attribute that to Green's coaching + some stellar goaltending we've got

100 percent. At no point under DJ did the team play well defensively. They now do that on a regular basis but it’s come at the expense of offence. And that get amplified when missing as many as 3 top six players.

Green had them humming till a) they sent Levi down, and the injuries started piling up ; looking back I think Steve should have made a move to keep Levi up and rolling and rolled the dice on the goalies.. vs getting hamstrung with no cap space to even get a player off ltir and no way to make a move. Very cautious and that could cost us as much as anything.

If players don't slot properly which has been the case for the past 5 games at least things look out of sorts.

No one will convince me that the depth is here to overcome losing Pinto and Norris .. it just isn't ... it shows how shallow we are. Yje take Brasy out.,,,And we have played some good and hungry teams ,
