Snuggerud Out

[LGB73]

Time for Army to get busy!

Why? Is this a team that has shown in deserves losing picks/prospects to shore it up for a run?

[BluesDom]

Neighbours -- Thomas -- Kyrou
Holloway -- Dvorsky -- Buchnevich
Schenn -- Suter -- Kaskimaki
Joseph -- Bjugstadt -- Walker
Sundqvist?

[Harry S Deals]

Jake Neighbours -- Robert Thomas -- Jordan Kyrou
Brayden Schenn -- Dalibor Dvorsky -- Pavel Buchnevich
Dylan Holloway -- Pius Suter -- Kaskimaki?
Mathieu Joseph -- Bjugstadt -- Nathan Walker

Philip Broberg -- Colton Parayko
Matthew Kessel -- Justin Faulk
Cam Fowler -- Logan Mailloux

Thoughts?

I would switch Holloway and Schenn

Is Suter out, wheres Sunny? I dont think Kaskimaki will play tonight but im excited to see him. Not saying Snuggy isnt a loss but the Blues should be able to absorb this fairly easily

Should mean more minutes for Kyrou especially on the PP unit.

Time for him to catch fire.

Bright side: Lets see some more prospects get a chance to prove themselves.

I was thinking about the effects on a left wrist, and since he is a right hand handed shot isn’t the left-hand pre-stationary ? Especially compared to the right that needs to whip the stick. Let’s hear from some of you players

For the poster, wanting to swap Schenn with Holloway, I think Buchnevich plays better with Schenn. I don’t mind moving Schenner down to give him less ice time and get him to play harder with his time, but move Buch down to the third line with Schenn

Scalding burns to his legs you say…

Over Thanksgiving weekend, I can only think of one thing.

Absolutely not. To have a good shot, you have to snap the wrist of your top hand hard. Amateurs only rely on the bottom hand and use the top hand as really just a pivot point or for stability. As a youth hockey coach, trying to get kids to utilize their top hand in their shot as well is the bane of my existence lol.

Which is to say, wrist surgery for Snuggy isn’t good news at all.

[Russdv14]

Snuggy has the wrist injury you’re probably seeing now.
It’s Toropchenko with the scalding legs

Did I say it wrong, Mn? Snuggy is right handed so the left hand is not rotating much. It would be pretty stationary. And that is the injured wrist. The right hand is more active, right..and that wrist is ok. Need to get out an old stick and shoot again .

[Russdv14]

Whatever you say, MN. I’m not a very good thinker in the morning. Of course top hand is his left and you indicated he’ll snap it. As one of our best shooters and with the father who was a professional too, he’d be doing it the way you say.

So is Carbonneau not a call-up option all season because he's playing in the Quebec Juniors League and not a Blues affiliate like the Thunderbirds or whoever the AHL affiliate is?

[oldbattler]

Chris Kerber and Joey Vitale on the last game TV broadcast againat the Mammoth were saying that the Blues haven,t suffer any major injuries this year and they have been pretty healthy this year.

When they said that .

I thought, Oh Oh.
I hope that don,t Jinx the Blues.

Now this.

But as some have said.

Next Man Up.

My biggest concern is, I hope this doesn,t affect Snuggerud shot when he is fully heal.

That is his Strongest Skill suit.

Who said anything about moving picks or prospects?

[netboy65]

The biggest loss is his ongoing development. He’s not producing a ton right now so we will be ok.

[stlblue06]

No pts in his last 7. He’d hit a wall as most rookies do. Good to see what the pipeline offers.

Yeah he has not been good at all compared to his start. Maybe it was a nagging thing that he decided to get checked out and they found something.

Ryan Smith:

Kaski's a prototypical Finnish player. By that, I mean he is a responsible player - capable in just about all situations, and rarely is out of position, especially defensively. In the absence of Toropchenko, what Kaski lacks in Torpo's size he makes up for in smarts.
