Jordan Staal a "game time decision" for game 4

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Wow...that would be cool as Hell....


"Jordan Staal, who is recovering from foot surgery, got a favorable review from coach Dan Bylsma for his work during the Penguins' game-day skate at the Bell Centre today, and is listed as a "game time decision" for Game 4 of their second-round playoff series against Montreal tonight at 7:15.

Right winger Bill Guerin, who is recovering from an undisclosed illness that forced him to sit out the Penguins' 2-0 victory in Game 3 Tuesday, took part in the morning skate, but stayed on the ice to get extra work and has been all but officially ruled out of Game 4."

i say rest him. He doesn't need that cortisone shot in his foot. It's not game 7. He will be more important later

 

[scottflyers88]

if he is showing signs of healing and does not risk re injuring it i would see no problem.

So not only to the Pens have Crosby and Malkin, they also have a bionic Staal?!? No fair I say ;-)

I respectfully disagree, Smo....in these play-offs, every game is so important...if he can go...he has to go.....you don't want a game 7...anything can happen...

lmao...

If he does play his minutes will be way down.... I still don't like the idea. I mean he can't be even close to 100%, can he? I guess we will find out in like 35 min

 

[scottflyers88]

if he does not feel right they can just sit him. if he had any chance of making it worse i would tell him to rest. otherwise go for it.

I think it would be different if the Habs first round hadn't been won in the fashion it was. Nobody really wants anybody in this years playoffs. He changes the Pens lineup drastically, so if he can go, he should.

All this could fuck with the habs gameplan and line pairings too.

 

[scottflyers88]

the canadiens stick with their game plan regardless. score a goal. win by that goal.

they did actually play well last game though.

Habs game plan? what's that, block as many shots as you can.

 

[scottflyers88]

let halak win the game?

Hey, it's like Mike Tyson says "Everybody has a gameplan, until they get punched in the face."

 

[ELYEAH82]

He is in the lineup tonight!!!!!!!!!

 

[scottflyers88]
