Kesserling/Greenway Injury Update (10/24)

[SabresBaltimore]

Not sure if this warrants a whole thread, but I didn't see ones for Kesserling or Greenway, just Zucker. Feel free to delete/merge this if that's preferred. I was hoping we'd see Kesserling this weekend, but hopefully he can go Tuesday. Can't say I'm say I'm shocked Greenway has no ETA. Guy is always hurt.

Good to see Zucker is OK...

Hopefully both Kesselring and Greenway will be next week sometime

Good.  They can't get Metsa out of the lineup fast enough.  MHO.

we are playing well right now. I definitely want Kesserling in when he is healthy. Not so much Greenway. As long as we are playing well up front, we do not need him back until there is injury. Which will happen unfortunately. Forwards are playing hard and physical. Greenway is not physical and does not play hard all the time.

What do you have against Dmen with a good +/- ?

Dunne played this past game. Please come back, Greenway.

Kesselring is paired with Bryson this AM in practice, while the other pairings remain the same from the Leafs Game.

Dunne is just not an NHL player.  My foot speed is comparable and I can’t skate. We need Greenway back ASAP.  I know Lindy likes the heavies but at what cost? Geertsen is close to playing his way out of the league (again) and Dunne isn’t far behind.

Lindy Ruff says Kesselring should be good to go for tomorrow night

I do think that the social media team gets clearance from hockey ops before posting stuff like the thing they put up today.

The 2 goals he was responsible for at the time the post was made for 1 thing.

What does Ruff and management have against them?  They're the ones that sent your boy back to the A.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Kesselring may be ready for action with Metsa being sent down

Dahlin Samuelsson

Power Timmins

Byram Kesselring

Maybe 3 evenish pairs?

He's not my boy.

I don't get why saying something "not negative" against a player suddenly makes someone their advocate?  

[JohnC]

I’m hoping that when Kesserling works out the rust that he gets paired with Power. I like the way Sammy has been playing but I believe he is better suited on the third pair with Timmons. That leaves Bryam paired with Dahlin on the first pair. 
 

The player that I’m most pleased with in the unit is Samuelsson. He’s not noticeable because he’s efficiently doing his job and seems to be playing with confidence.

I'll be suprised if it isn't 

Byram Dahlin

Power Kesselring

Samuelsson. Timmins

Honest question:  Can you explain why you gave me a  reaction to my post?

Ya, I’d bet on this. How else is Adams going to get Power’s trade value up so he can bring in those two 3rd liners.

Why would you break up Samuelsson Timmons when it has been good and is your main PK pair?

You just play Kesselring with Power like you planned and see if it works.

All Kesselring has to do to "work" is be as good as Timmons has been. If he's even better, well, then even better.

Timmons has been a solid pickup. He knows who he is as a player and stays within his limits. Not flashy but consistently solid. 
 

I expect more offensive production from Kesserling than from Timmons.

The 4th line is... rough.  I'd MUCH rather have greenway than Dunne or Geertson.  He also can kill penalties which allows someone like tuch to not have to do it.

What's wrong with Meertson Geertson?

It’s unfortunate that a solid stay at home defenseman looks so foreign to us. We’ve been saddled with all offense no defense dman or the dreaded no offense no defense dman.
