I'm going to doubt it's serious.

And if it's only a short term thing, potential silver lining is a Nemec call up.
Hamilton is being reevaluated this afternoon, after which there will be an update. Haula is out tomorrow. I hope Nemec gets called up, today the call up is Simon Leberge, largely for physicality.

Ya, saw Laberge, was hoping Nemec, but I guess they just want to let him cook.

Is Philly even a team you need to load the lineup with heavies anymore?

I think Philly is now more bark than bite. There was a report that the Devils want more grit and toughness, they think Leberge will add it. Maybe later for Nemec.

I’ve never seen a team with worse injuries. Every game it’s a key member that goes out.

Hope Luke is good, but didn’t look it.

Vancouver gets Zadorov for 2 non 1st or 2nd round picks. Nice to WIN tonight, but what was Fitz doing, picking his nose. Come on! Calgary took like a 3rd round and a 5th round pick, in there division, a hated rival at that.

Normally I’d be pissed off to give up a 2-goal lead with 5 minutes remaining but the refs looked to do everything to give Philly power plays.
Because of that we’re still looking up at Philly in the standings.

Smith-Konneckny should have both gone into the box. We would have won in regulation.

Philly has some dirty players , but the linesmen needs to whistle the icing sooner.

High-end skill by the Hughes bros in OT.

Flyers have not had a comeback victory yet this year. If they get behind at any point in the game the might as well just head back to the locker room.

It'll be interesting to see if there's still a move to be made with CGY. Hanifin and Tanev are rumored to be on the block. Had Luke gone down last night, I don't see how they wouldn't have called up Nemec, paired with another move from the outside.

Onto SJ tonight. They can't afford to take this one lightly with the Pacific NW/Western Canada road trip looming. SJ is 0-10-0 on the road - never want to be the team that they break through against. Vanecek likely starting, but hopefully Meier returns.

Calgary didn’t want to retain any salary . They want to save those limited slots for the other soon to be UFAs . Devils don’t have cap space to take on Zadorovs full cap hit .

This is way Fitz should have left more cap space, or at the very least created it like Vancouver did.

Like whose available that’s good?

🦗 🦗

What’s your definition of “good?” Gibson is having a much better year than either of the current goalies. And he’s available.

Flames defenders (Taney, Hanifin) are available and either will be an upgrade on D.

You can’t follow up your post saying “Fitzgerald is having a terrible season” with a post saying no one good is available to trade for…….

Putting dougie on LTIR..they can afford both gibson and one of those D men…does fitz wanna trade assets for rentals though,?
