Green Man Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I don't know why you guys think this shortened season is any better on Timo. This season is going to be a sprint, 4 games a week with back to back games more common. This means less recovery time, and for a 38 yr old player this will be a challenge, IMO. Gotta think Homer has a trade brewing, esp if Bryz plays poor due to poor protection in front of him. Also think Grossman is way undervalued in here by some of you. The guy is a beast in front of the crease and is going to be Bryz's best friend this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right about Timo, but it's still a much shorter season, so fewer games for him to get worn down and banged up. They will still have to manage his minutes, obviously. But not so much as to keep him from playing on the top pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poulin20 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 We also have to wait and see on Luke Schenn and what he brings to the table...Oh wait...he is an ex-Leaf nevermind....I guess then we should probably start the season with the following Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm counting on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are various way they can manage his ice time, I'm sure there will be times when Lavi will want him on the PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly LIKE seeing him on the ice as an opponent because I know he can't skate as well as he used to. I'd rather he be on the ice against Crosby or Malkin than Coburn or Grossman. I like Timo and his games in the past, I just think as I've said many times before, he's too far past his prime to expect that much from anymore. Just my opinion... I know everyone has one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bourdon may be bor-done based on how many concussions he's reported in the last 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 As per twitter: Meszaros has been cleared to play after suffering an Achilles injury during the summer.it may take him a bit to be up to speed.

Just hope his return isn't too fast.Holmgren's quote was interesting yesterday, saying the problem with Meszaros is a mental one.. that he came back way too apprehensive from the last injury. Meszaros then said he's fine mentally.The head games are already beginning.... yeah! Welcome back, hockey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
