Holloway

[StLouis-4Life2]

Any update on Holloway? Watching the Pittsburgh feed right now and haven't heard any update

[Chilly]

Upper body injury late in the first. No further updates. Think it's precautionary, but will know more tomorrow.

[Jabski]

The shot of him when he was leaving the bench…. Didn’t look promising. Bent over , grimacing.
Looks like me when I blew a disc in my back. Hope the guy’s ok. This would be terrible timing to loose him for a while!

Yeah I agree. It sure looked like a back but I’m leaning towards lower rib. I haven’t watched it in slow motion but sure looks like the Penguins players pelvis went up at an angle right into his side/lower ribs.

Jamie Rivers thought it was a hip flexor which would take about a week or less to heal. If it's a rib, probably a week or two depending how severe.

Looks like we might need Texier in the lineup and/or Dvorsky.

They've got plenty of options. Joseph and Texier will likely get the nod before they call up Dvo.

Ahh yes, I forgot about Joseph...and I really like him.

He brings a good element to the team.

I think the team could use 4 lines running again. It’s been experimental with Snuggerrud , and for all who like him, he may have disrupted the game flow. Joseph blocks a lot of shots and I think our penalty kill is suffering. I thought Sunny was gonna get the late season rest and that would open up for Snuggerud to play.

Anyway, the injury to Holloway open the spot up again for Snuggy to take his spot and bring back Joseph (preferred) or Texier for Sunny.
However Monty seems to love Sunny for an alternate face off guy and the power play. We missed Holloway when we had the big power-play at the end of the second period.

Saw it live. The way he went into boards it looked either a hyper extended hip or groin.

TBH, they can use Joseph. Move Bolduc up a line to fill Holloway’s spot and then insert Joseph. I think he helps their PK and he can’t be any worse than most of the forwards they are using at 5 on 6. The lack of common sense at 5 on 6 is alarming. They are almost always out of position. They seem more worried about scoring into the empty net than keeping it out of their own. Plus Joseph adds some bite, which they are missing recently.

Well, Snuggerud appears to have added some valuable scoring depth. I would put Joseph back in the lineup reconstituting the 3rd line and put Snuggerud in the top-6. If he gets skittish flip him and Bolduc, or give them both some top-6 minutes.

The biggest knock on Joseph is he doesn't score. He adds a lot of speed and energy.

Yeah, I’m ok with swapping 21 and 63 too. A 71,70,63 line may work well vs the Avs, especially at home where they can get their matchups.

I agree that Joseph is missed. The last two games without him have been among our weakest. It’s rarely a bad idea to add a second Nathan Walker who has elite speed, more size, and top-notch PK skills. Tonight the Pens were 1 for 1 on their PP.

With this nutty season, it would not surprise if Joseph scores two goals in his return game.

[zamadoo]

I'm thinking Joseph is getting some time off due to minor injuries. He blocked a hard shot at the end of his last game. If they put Texier in next I would assume that's why.

Army: "Coach, develop these players while on your 11 game win streak"

[StLouis-4Life2]

Honestly, if it's something small I think it would be good to get Texier and Joseph some playing time. I would let a few of the guys rest a game here and there. Looks like we are in and the playoffs can be long so it would be a huge benefit to be able to have some fresh guys who are rested play gama here and there when the injuries in the playoffs happen.
