eball Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Nice to see Rivet back in action. Any word on Jochen's status? What a bounceback -- 2 shutouts after laying a couple of eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard that Hecht may be back Friday. Maybe just for Karma's sake, no one should mention the relative status of the general well being of those in question if you get my drift.

carpandean Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 http://www.buffalonews.com/opinions/column...ory/483558.html Veteran center Jochen Hecht (finger) is expected to return Friday night against the Atlanta Thrashers after missing the last 10 games. He tested the injury during the morning skate Monday and felt limited pain. ?I can?t do any more bag skates,? Hecht said. ?I have to practice. I just want to get back in the lineup and play. It?s been three weeks now. You miss playing.? For Karma's sake, I'm not counting on Hecht being there Friday; just passing along a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to that one. Unless saying amen clashes with karma. But on that note, I know it's been discussed eslewhere, but who gets shipped out of town? My money's on Ellis, but I wouldn't be shocked if one of the waiver-free kids gets sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted that in another thread. It doesn't seem right, but if true, I can see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem right, but if true, I can see it happening. He was 20 years old the on Sept. 15th of the year he signed his first contract, so his limits for waiver eligibility are 160 games or 3 seasons as a pro. Since he's in his 3rd season and is somewhere around the 130 game mark (playoff games count too), he should be exempt from waivers, unless there is something I'm missing here.

In that case, I'd send him down. MacArthur and Paille have outplayed him, and for that matter so has Kaleta. I suppose they could just waive Ellis and make Stafford a healthy scratch, but I'd rather have Stafford getting ice time (and hopefully motivation) in Portland.

frisky Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Looks like Timmy hurt his weiner/groin. I think he's running out of body parts to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the bounceback for Ryan is huge. Both 'tenders were left hung out to dry for both games, but regardless, there were soft goals against Tampa and coming back strong is an excellent sign.
