Barnstorm Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 59 minutes ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Hate to speculate but I'm going to. (Reality is I want him healthy for the playoffs). His skating seems not to be effected, if it is he's only slightly slowed. Which logic indicates one of four injury areas. 1) Hand/Wrist - Don't think this is likely because he can win at faceoffs. 2) Shoulder. That would effect his shot strength, trying to compensate would throw him off target for passing and shots. 3) Mild concussion. That would be why his passes and shot is off. But he can be laser focused on face/offs so I also think this is doubtful. 4) Rib injury. Maybe not broken but possibly cracked ribs. He's able to play through the pain, but it would effect his shot and long passes. I'm not a doctor. But I'm thinking its 2 or 4. I hope he gets any help he needs, and is 100% for the playoffs. The sooner we clinch. The team can rest him for a few games. Funny you suspect shoulder. Watching him last night there was a brief moment when I saw his shoulder droop and his body posture was exactly that if someone favouring their shoulder. From my experience shoulders can be quite nagging. I doubt anything concussion or head related as he would not be playing under even a hint of brain injury. Too much is known about the possible repercussions of that in this day and age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksNation Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If this Petey line keeps it up who else wants to see Joshua with Miller and Boeser? That line would wreak havoc in the playoffs. Have Suter-Lindholm-Mik as a shutdown line. Podz-Blueger-Lafferty as energy line. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a 9 game stretch where we were struggling, but the team has figured it out an rallied back... what's your point? Trying to call out people who were accurately assessing the team during that period? Lame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever we get in the first round will be tough no matter what. Each round will be a dogfight. The parity is now so really close. I'm not looking for the easy way out. There isn't one. Bring it on! This is so true... Just bring it on. Hate folks pointing towards teams and suggesting they will be easier to beat... They did the same about us leading up to the bubble play offs... and when we got done by LA Kings in the 1st round, despite winning the presidents trophy, and last year they said the same before Boston got eliminated...There is a reason those teams reach the play offs.... Just take whom ever we get paired with, show them the respect they deserve, and then take them apart.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out Tocchet is perhaps the most thoughtful interview in the NHL, and his in depth explanations of his coaching philosophy are second to none. He’s taken such a collaborative approach both with the other coaches and with the players and it is absolutely paying off in a way that I don’t think too many people saw coming. Maybe Jim Rutherford did! Easy Jack Adam’s winner for me. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too many toil in absolutes. We've been at the top of the league all season. We've dispelled the notion we can't beat top teams. We just need to be healthy and we can beat anyone.

Strawbone Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Jets have lost 3 in a row now. I keep hearing how they may be the favourite to come out of the west but I don’t see them as some unbeatable force. Hellebyuk has played a ton of games and may be fatigued heading in to the playoffs, while in a best case scenario Demko comes back with a few games to go, well rested, and with just enough time to get sharp for the playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not assessment, that’s a lazy ass comments that’s easy to throw at practically every team in the league at one point of a very long season. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
