H_T_L Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 They're still not calling Allen's injury a concussion. The word from DD is day to day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claremont Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Questions for me are 1) When will Edmondson get back in the lineup 2) when will Norlinder make his debut - do we have anything to lose on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electron58 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Looking at the hit on Hoffman by Seider, how was that NOT a penalty? Seider left his feet, and hit Hoffman high, causing him to hit his head along the glass. Hoffman will probably miss a few games now, due to concussion protocol. Unbelievable.

H_T_L Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 Forward Mathieu Perreault had a second surgery on his eye and his recovery time has been pushed back another two weeks, according to TSN's John Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTed3 Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 We're missing - Byron - Paquette - Perreault - Price - Edmundson - Hoffman - Allen Not going to count Weber since he's for all intents and purposes retired and not someone we're waiting on to return. MB seems to have known since the playoffs last year that he'd be done and could have/should have planned for that. But look at that list. We talk about how we'll be better if/when the injured players return, but other than the goalies, who on that list is moving the needle so substantially that it makes us a playoff team. We were bad even when we had Paquette, Perreault, Hoffman, and Allen in the line-up. And Price coming back doesn't suddenly make the D corps more competent or give us a second top 6 center. Byron last year had trouble cracking the line-up at times and was for the most part a 4th liner. Edmundson played well with Petry but less well when not with him and is really a supporting cast player who doesn't address the biggest deficiencies with that D corps. And let's remember that Price played poorly for long stretches in the regular season and is hardly the savior he once was. I think even with a fully-healthy roster, this team is a bit better but still far from being a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is pretty much what we have all been saying, we will be better but not great or even good really. That is why we pretty much all want MB and this coach who I like many others feel is in over his head gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this falls more on Bergevin vs. Ducharme but a new GM will likely want his own coach. I see some building blocks in our prospect pool but Molson has to pause on drinking his own product, and move on from the red suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does his return mean we get vintage Price? or does his past abuse have no real impact on his game. This will be interesting to see. Obviously first and foremost its about him getting healthy - but i am interested to see how this impacts our team too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats why this year is a write off. If we had been healthy all year i think we're a bubble team. Maybe slightly better if some guys like Toffoli or Caufield had caught fire. But with the hole we've dug? If we get back to being a 'respectable' middle of the pack team we cant overcome the deficit. All we'll do is make our draft pick worth less.
