Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 If Leopold is not ready to play (and we shouldn't rush him) and we lose another defenseman, who would most likely come up from Portland? I know, we shouldn't talk about it, but let's be realistic (and prepared). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Paul Hamilton tweeted that Dennis Persson is coming up. To actually play or just to be ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 To actually play or just to be ready? (ii) Emergency conditions shall beestablished when the playing strength of the loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by League suspension to its players is reduced below the level of two (2) goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him. I think he has to play, for him to be recalled on an emergency basis means they have less than 6 eligible Dmen. Or does Sekera being a gametime decision count as an emergency?

darksabre Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 That's the best wr have? If we get really thin at D I wouldn't be surprised if Ruff shuffles a forward back there before bringing up anyone else from P-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 That's the best wr have? Schiestel's out for the year with an injury. Maybe Brennan would be the only other to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancari isn't showing up in Portland's box score tonight, so I assume he is still with the Sabres... http://theahl.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=1008534 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spndnchz Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 has anyone mentioned how much of a beast gragnani is? I wouldn't say beast, as in physical. I'd say smart. Esp. on the PP. Doesn't just shoot, he makes a play. U can see the other guys trusting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can see the other guys trusting him. Good assessment. He still scares me in our end though. Attacking forwards seem to do a good job of getting him turned around. He'll get better as he catches up with the speed of the NHL, but he needs to make sure to not be too aggressive 5 on 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get better as he catches up with the speed of the NHL, but he needs to make sure to not be too aggressive 5 on 5. He's extraordinarily weak along the boards and in front of his net. He's decent at vacating the zone, as long as no one impedes his progress, so basically as long as Philly isn't forechecking, he's good. Which means he hasn't been good at all. Are people just commenting on his offensive zone work? I was never worried about that, he's a point a game player in the AHL. Pairing him with Montador has not been doing him any favors.
