If they get a bunch of returns, they’re going to have to though. They’ll need the roster spot. Geertsen goes and then they’ll need to cast off a goalie. Even after that, they’re still need one more spot if they suddenly have Norris, Zucker, and Benson. A player currently dressing will have to be sent back down. Dunne seems like the obvious choice, but I could see him handed the Geertsen role that Lindy clearly wants on the team.

Personally, I think his biggest value is as a trade chip, but the waiver eligibility doesn’t guarantee full time NHL play. He’s going to have to earn that time here or anywhere else and could very easily wind up as a journeyman bouncing around all over the place. … or he pulls the Pominville right now and claims his spot. I really have no idea what to expect here.

I don’t know if it’s here, but I do think both Swedes are full time NHLers next year.

Of course, but how is he still around when he can’t even get on the ice when they’re down 15 forwards?

It’s kind of funny to read these projected lineup changes when you realize that Geertsen still hidden away on the roster.

That shot could have won him a car during the intermission.

If Shane Doan wants to hang around all the time, get that man a job.

Come on ENG Östlund. edit: And that right there is the best filter this board has ever had. I have no idea how to type that letter.

I was wondering what that sound was.

Linesman screwed him over there

And they only played him for 4 games last year, so it's not like they got much of anything from him.

This Detroit drought comes on the tails of that streak where they made the playoffs for something like 200 straight years. It bugs the hell out of those fans.

So Quick starts something while the rags net was empty? You don’t see goalies suspended too often.

Can someone tell me why Hardman was moved onto the main roster as opposed to being activated off the practice squad? Is it an issue of only a certain number can activated and they needed to move one of him or Davis onto the active roster? I would have figured that the guy who has been with the team for more than a couple days would get that slot. Cap issues?

At this stage, they just need to get into the playoffs. The line for the first team out just fell further back. This is a good thing.

Never. KC is in the outside looking in right now. They need to be kept out. He’ll, they could very well be more of a competitor for us for a wild card spot than they are a head to head playoff matchup.

I’m enjoying the scene right behind him the most.

So Gabe Davis is probably back on the main roster next week, right? Maybe they still need the roster spot for some other injury and they keep using practice squad call ups on him?

These new kickoffs, what happens if they need a holder? Do they get someone off the sideline who then has to sprint off the field?

He really dislikes Kane and wants to stop him from reaching a bonus?

Not you.

I wonder how long it took for the photographer to realize he/she had that gem.

If you clench your butt cheeks at just the right moment, no puck can hurt you. Every decent strength and conditioning guy knows that.

Right because no team in the history of the league has ever played at that pace. The math speaks. yeah, this team doesn’t have it in them, but for at least once can we spare the woe is me crap? I have no idea why so many of you continue to watch/post.

Did he start the year in Rochester or was he called up?
