Tuesday Caterwaul: Panthers GameDay Open Forum
by Donny Rivette on Jan 24, 2012 10:17 AM EST
in LBC Caterwauls: '11-12
Email
Print[Flyers GM] Paul Holmgren said there are no new updates for the team's four injured players. Jaromir Jagr and Zac Rinaldo are day-to-day. None of the four has a chance to play tonight. Danny Briere (above) is the only one who flew to Florida with the team - and that's because his father is along on the trip. James van Riemsdyk, out since Jan. 14, has not yet resumed skating.

Why last night rocked:
- CAR over WPG, 2-1 (REG); kinda big, as Jets outshoot Canes 30-16
- LA over OTW, 4-1; Kings' Clifford: goal, assist, fight, 3 SOG. Fantasy gold.
Why last night jonesed:
- TOR over NYI, 3-0; Lombardi's two goals more than enough for Leafs
Panthers Playoff Update:
- FLA did not play; playoff odds up 0.4 to 75.1% per Sports Club Stats
Why tonight is a Big Deal in SoFla:
- BOS at WSH, 7 p.m.; Broons 6-4-1-1 in D.C. since lockout
- WPG at NYR, 7; Rags are 6-1-1 at home in last eight
- BUF at NJ, 7; Sabres have lost 11 straight on the road
- TOR at NYI, 7; anyone care to vote against Kessel getting a point or three?
- CBJ at TB, 7:30; Bolts shooting for fourth-straight victory (picked a good night for it)
- PIT at STL, 8; Pens looking for seventh victory in as many tries
- OTW at PHX, 9; Sens are 6-1 over Yotes in last seven meetings
Next up for the Cats:
- Tonight vs Philadelphia; the LBC Game Thread plays a Slazenger One at 7 p.m.
Did you know:
Noticed in the last Game Thread that not everyone in the LBC community has discovered the "Wide" screen format editor. Utilizing this feature dramatically alters and improves the look & user-friendliness of the site. It's that big of a deal. Just head to the top of the page, look to the right, and click "Wide" in the grey box. This will now be the default view anytime you log in :)
Monday’s Organizational Transactions:
- D Tyson Strachan recalled; replaces Dmitry Kulikov (surgery Monday, out 6-8 weeks)

Unfortunately all the questions I have for him are the types he’s not going to answer lol. Everyone wants to know if they’re going to be buyers or sellers at the deadline, etc etc… and all he’s going to say is, “We like our team and if we see a chance to improve our team, we will make the move.” Which pretty much also means, “I’m not telling you.”
Thx to Steven’s re-tweet below, I would think the topic of discussion will have a lot to do with Kuli…

Now I really think it needs to be Robak that’s called up after the All-Star break. Let him to his thing in the AHL All-Star game and then bring him back up here. Hopefully he can make up for the offense Kuli was bringing from the back end.
6-8 weeks goes beyond the trade deadline, best-case. A transaction for more experience may be only logical route?

But what about upgrading at forward? I think that’s more important because I think we have the defensive pieces to make up for it.
Uppy, Skille & Sturm have yet to return, so there’s that.

Why? The team already has seven defensemen, why add to that number? Give Robak a shot and if he doesn’t live up to exceptions, then send him down and enjoy Yonkman and Strachan mediocreness.

If Kuli finished game with knee injury, then it’s an indication of relatively minor surgery involved; i.e. cleaning up a meniscus tear. Let’s hope. Hate to see his wheels slowed down.
That’s the assumption, as you stated he finished the game with a click over 22 mins TOI

by Donny Rivette on Jan 24, 2012 11:23 AM EST up reply actions
Curious how Dineen said Kulikov was getting his knee checked out and ends up in surgery. Kind of similar to Markstrom’s. Get tired of this cloak and dagger mystery when it comes to injuries.i
Dude is remarkably stealthy, even for this organization

Besides Robak and Yonkers, we have Mike Vernace, who we acquired from Tampa. He has some NHL games under his belt with Lightning.
If he couldn’t crack the Bolts’ blueline I’d be a bit worried heading down the stretch…

There was a point in the first couple of weeks where his +/- was better than Brent’s. I shed a tear because of my hopes that he might one day be defensively responsible.
And that was when they were losing. Weird.

For security reasons in defensive zone I hope Dineen creates new pairings, such as: Garrison-Gudbranson, Weaver-Strachan, and Campbell-Ellerby

Even though it’s a sham, it’s still indicative to what fans around the NHL think of our team and how we are perceived, which is still very important.
10 years out of the playoffs is not erased by Versteeg’s great start of the season.. we are still thought of as nobodies by the NHL as we should be…

A lot of teams might under estimate the Panthers like the Canucks did. Could be some 2 pts here and there because of that.

I don’t think we’re entitled to anything, but looking from a very non-bias POV, some Panthers deserved spots more than other random guys on the ballot.
The Blues are the 2nd best team in the West and have only one All-Star. If any team deserves more spots, it them.

I’m aware, it was Dale Tallon and the atmosphere we’re re-creating. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the ASG is so so important, but I do think the publicity is positive and good for any organization. It helps the perception of an organization overall. It’s one very small piece to the general aura of a franchise.
of course, my man, but we have a LONG ways to go to change the perception. we’re on the way… but not quite there yet. patience!

McPhee says Ovechkin isn’t comfortable participating in ASG as suspended player. Doesn’t want to be a distraction. Ovechkin will not attend.

No, I like what he said about it. It’s wrong for the NHL to say he can play during a suspension and it’s good that he’s removing himself from it because it has to be an uncomfortable thing.
I mean, I also like that someone who actually scored this season will be going instead (I assume), but.
just trying to make himself look like a good guy.

He surprises me, his mobility and vision pretty much make up for the worthless potato sack that were Hordichuk, Tarnasky, McIntrye….

Not a bad assessment. He doesn’t have the PK skills of Campbell, but gets into the corners and he can make a pass, which is more than I can say for not only the last bunch of enforcers this team has had, but most of the fourth liners this team has had the last few years.

Strachan says he is glad to be up with the Panthers and didn’t think he would have taken this long for Florida to need a d-man from San Antonio.
He also says he and Matt Bradley are cool.
Despite this: "I really need to get that off YouTube,’’ Strachan said with a laugh.

From Yesterday
Here is what Tim Thomas had to say about not visiting the White House
“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People,” Thomas’ statement read. “This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.”
“Because I believe this,” the statement continued, “today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.”
Tim Thomas is a Moron....
for bringing politics into this White House celebration that EVERY OTHER player was estatic over…Smiles abounded with or without the idiot. This is about HOCKEY
Thomas didnt bring politics into the fold, everyone who cried foul did. Thomas had to issue that statement to defend himself from the backlash he knew he would (and did) get.
Its his choice, afterall.

Of course he brought politics into the fold ……Take politics out of the fold and little Timmy would have been there…..To create a distraction for the Whole team on “their day” was selfish on TT’s part.
Poor Bruins, not getting to enjoy the day Tim Thomas won them…

I guess you do watch TV……The Team and mgmt. ALL have the day of their life….go to the Bruins website and watch the interviews….Even Moron Thomas couldn’t ruin this day for the team…..and it is a TEAM….Tiny Tim is one part of many that got them the cup…Which one of the circus clowns are you voting for?
No politics, people. The Thomas thing is fair game until parties or candidates are brought into it. Friendly reminder.

Tim Thomas - Public Figure; Whether he wants it or not?
I have to say that Tim Thomas sounds very selfish. He is a “public” figure and is representing the " BOSTON" “BRUINS”, boston is the land of politics. When you decide to skip out on a team event, like attending the White House and are the MVP and Stanley Cup Winner then he makes it a political storm. Whether fair or not. He is a public figure in Boston, he knows what he did and nationlly. he is a public figure that he has a NATIONAL ADVERTISING campaign for a credit card.
He just embarrassed the city of Boston and his team. Shame on him. It is a team event, you should be there.
Also, if you are invited to the White House by the President. You go. A sign of respect. He The President is also the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces which protect the USA. The President represents “USA”, which is why it is an honor to be invited to the White House.
I hope Thomas is suspended by the team for causing this media storm. Like it or not, TIm Thomas is a public figure, if doesn’t get that, then stop having National Ads for credit cards etc.

I know it is up the page a bit, but yesterday lines were...
Bergenheim – Weiss/Matthias – Versteeg
Flash – Goc – Samuelsson
Upshall – Madden – Kopecky
Bradley – Santorelli – Barch
So my thinking is that 1) I dont think Bergenheim is hurt, I think it is a scratch to rest him up…. assuming he is for sure a scratch ala Versteeg last week. 2) If he is out, maybe the centers shift down and:
13 – 9 – 32
14 – 18 – 26
19 – 57 – 82
22 – 10 – 21
