For those more in the social media know than I on the canes, what’s up with Dougie? I thought he had practiced in training camp and with the team leading up to this series. I know he was a scratch for game 1, but now 2 & 3 according to the projected lineups today. Is it still his leg, just wanting to ride the current lines or is there something else going?

Not on social media but from media reports it seems he had a different injury separate from the broken leg and it’s serious enough to hold him out a few weeks but not longer than that (and it occurred maybe a week and a half ago or so). I think he’s close to returning and maybe could play today if we needed him but we’re just being smart to hold him out and give him an extra week of rest considering how we’ve dominated the series without him so far.

 

My speculation (probably wrong...) based on timeline, is that he pushed himself a bit too much in practice and pulled his groin or something like that— pretty common aggravation coming off a leg injury like his earlier in the year.

Ya, that makes sense. Resting him is good, if we win tonight(*knock on wood*) that’ll give us a full 7-8 days. Which has its ups and downs. 

It’s just slightly concerning since they don’t have to disclose if it’s a bigger deal.

NHL injuries are almost always shrouded in mystery. Much more so in the coronaverse where ship sinking loose lips are less present.

Like I said Reimer to slow on his side to side. Should have tested Reimer next game. If there is to be a next game. 

He's always been a more stationary goaltender. Not my favorite style,  but he's been the difference in this game so far.

The golden boy Igor hasn't been looking as formidable as he did during the regular season.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
