Think they'll put him in on the road, or wait until Friday and the friendly confines to have him lace 'em up?

[ponokasabre]

Someone will have to go down if Norris is ready

Dunne is the most likely, there could be a small chance he is claimed

If they weren't using Dunne in place of Greenway when they're spelling Greenway, would agree.  But Dunne played Sunday because they wanted to give Greenway the game off.  Doubt they want to send him down if they have plans on playing him every few games even if everyone is healthy.

As Norris is an offensive guy who's also responsible defensively, am expecting Östlund ends up the 14th man and is the one getting sent back down.

[msw2112]

I agree that Östlund would be the one going down when Norris returns to the lineup.  He and Rosen have played well enough to stay, but there are only so many spots and they are both waiver exempt.  Plus, they need a more physical presence in the lineup and that's not Norris' or Östlund's game.  It's good to have more "qualified" players than available spots, for a change.  The emergence of Östlund and Rosen is the silver lining of the recent injury situation.  (I don't know how to type the "O" with dots over the top, but I copied and pasted the character from the previous post.)

No Norris tomorrow per Ruff maybe this weekend 

[DarthEbriate]

Naturally, the one guy with a career FO% over 50 on the roster and he gets back and he's on the wing and probably prohibited from taking draws. 😇

 

Really good to see him back practicing with the team, though.

[Bangarang]

That's an ideal 4th line that will give teams fits

This site has set a filter to automatically add the umlaut to the O whenever Östlund's name is typed.  Similar to the way how if you misspell Pominville it still corrects it to Pomminstein.

So, no need to copy and paste to get Östlund done up the way they spell it in Sweden.  😉

Throwback to the ‘dis or dat’ filter that SDS put on and laughs ensued.

Did we ever actually find out what happened to Norris?

He sprained his upper or lower body. He also "has a knee" or something

I agree Dunne is the most likely, they could also choose to stick with 2 goalies like any other rational franchise.

So Östlund is corrected, eh?  What about Rosen?

WHAT ABOUT ROSEN?

I thought it would be worthwhile, but Rosen is a common name without the accent.

I bet 99.999999% of the Rosen references on this site are to Isak Rosén.  

DOOO EEEET!

And then we draft one and we’re all screwed. Thank god the team avoided Pommenstein when he was draft eligible in 2021.

Why you shouting at this kid?  Talk to Chz or Scott about it if you have issues.

[xzy89c1]

Greenway should go on IR till he can play every game. He is our worst player.
