Injury Report: CDS out for post-season

[DesertedPenguin]

Can we recall Gauthier?

No he's not under contract until next year.

D'Orio is the only other option.

Marek and Friedman said Askarov could play for the Preds this playoffs on the last 31 Thoughts. Why is he different?

 

[Pens1566]

in hindsight i guess it wasnt diarrhea

Or it was a very very very bad case of it.


And now we have a Sully excuse ... sonofa ...

 

[madinsomniac]

So whats the rules if a team legit runs out of goalies… can they sign one as an emergency or do they just have to play randos from the arena? Lol

 

[AuroraBorealis]

What a sad ending to this era for the big trio. Kind of fitting though, considering this is the Penguins.
Oh well. This team wasn't gonna go deep anyway.

I'll just be grateful for the good times.
Hopefully they put up a fight in the remaining games.

My guess is because he doesnt have a contract yet. So they would have to sign him first maybe?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I don't think Sully was getting fired, even if the team got swept with a fully healthy lineup. Word is the FO and even new ownership love the dude.

The goalie injury has no bearing on his job security.

Just means they know the teams done but want the $$$ for making the playoffs.

So, the same course they've been on since the summer following the Habs play-in.

Gotta turn the net around and play 6 vs 5 all game or 5v5 if we are killing a penalty or 5v4 if we are killing a 5 on 3 penalty.

I was resigned to the fact Sullivan likely was returning no matter what. What will make the off-season a complete write-off for me is if management also brings back the exact same lineup and doesn't jettison the vanilla collection of nothing burgers we have.

It's hard for me to generate energy for what they'll do in the off-season when they play 82 games just to end up losing to goalie injuries...again.

Like if we were rebuilding and had a clear direction, I'd care a lot. But if they're just gonna pretend like this and have miserable early exits on repeat... that's a major morale killer.

I guess we'll see the new ownership and what direction they want to take at play in the summer.

I just personally don't like the construction of the roster, both up front and on defense. So regardless of how this series goes, I'd like to see massive changes. Unfortunately, I don't think anything "massive" will happen.

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

I like Domingue better. He's bigger too. I don't see how this is a major problem. I'm fine with Domingue, and Jarry will be back at some point.

How does that hypothetical help? They are losing this series with Domingue in net.

They are? Based on what? Not a single goal was a bad goal, deflections and own goal and a great shot. He kept us in the game with incredible saves for 45 minutes, it's our fault we didn't score on PP. Domingue was great, people blaming him and comparing him badly to Shesterkin are out to lunch IMO.

He's on an amateur tryout contract in the AHL. I honestly don't know how he would remotely be eligible to play for Nashville.

They may not be aware he's not on an NHL contract, only that he's highly touted.

I think your NHL contract kicks in when you play. So if Gauthier or Askarov are signed and play that’s when it kicks in.

I think when press releases say some FA prospect’s deal will kick in next year they’re basically just saying “that’s the plan.”

What a ridiculous post. The series is 1-1

You sound like many of the fans that said we were going to get owned by the Rangers coming into the series

 

[Pittsburgh1776]

The downtalk of this team is endemic here. Not useful responding after a while. A lot of people here are ALWAYS ready to throw in the towel. Not a lot of fight. To each his own.

 

[Terrapin]

Can we start bringing in some younger, less frail players already. My God these guys are made of glass

That was my understanding as well but @DesertedPenguin was arguing otherwise.

Seems weird for them to overlook that. But maybe you are correct. I do not understand.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I’m not much of a believer of bad “juju,” but I think Hextall might be oozing with it. Two years in a row with this goalie shit…I’ve never seen anything like it.

Revenge for all the times Mario lit him up.

Except players signed after the trade deadline are ineligible to play for the playoffs. One would assume that apply even to players a team holds the rights to but have yet to sign to a deal.

Makar was signed April 14th and played in the playoffs.

Everything I understand about NHL contracts is that if you sign a player after the deadline, they are ineligible for the playoffs. I always thought that included players teams hold the rights to but haven't yet signed.

But I just thought of Cale Makar (and I see @Jacob just brought him up). His NHL debut was in the playoffs because he signed in April of his rookie year.

So maybe that's how that would work. As long as you own the rights to a player, and that player hasn't signed a contract yet, you could sign him while in the postseason and add him to the active NHL roster.

Hey, we were never going far in these playoffs anyway. At least now, we have an excuse to delude ourselves over!
