At least Chychrun is healthy so far. Touch wood!Chabot caught Chychrunitus
Well, f***
Some kind of karma for all the fans who have been scapegoating Chabot and would almost dump him (not necessarily talking about HF as I don't really read anymore)
Hopefully people will leave Batherson in peace because I have had already enough of Kelly, MacEwen, Chartier, Kubalik, etc on the ice.
Why did they let him come back and play? This is the shit I will never understand with this team's training and coaching staff.Awesome... Can't say I'm surprised, when he went into the boards against Seattle you could tell he wasn't right the rest of the game

When a guy can't even put pressure on his leg and leaves and he just came back from an injury and we are in a game we are controlling, I am not going to let him finish the game out of precaution. This isn't a playoff game or some kind of must-win. We are at the bottom of the standings. Chabot's long-term health is much more important than a win over Seattle at the start of December.Becuase injuries aren’t always clear immediately and sometimes they are manageable. If players stopped playing from discomfort of a knee, shoulder, hip, groin etc you would see some pretty ugly
hockey.
I assumed he was shot up and came back. If so it would be his choice.When a guy can't even put pressure on his leg and leaves and he just came back from an injury and we are in a game we are controlling, I am not going to let him finish the game out of precaution.

what do you mean scapegoating?
one of the big reasons people were wanting to trade Chabot (for valuable pieces and/or cap space) was because of his very lengthy history of injuries and inability to stay healthy. that's not karma.
Good call, sarcastic as it may have been!Doesn't seem like a big deal.
Look for the Brannchise to have a huge game and pick up his first assist of the season.

First 2 assists, and he could have had more. That pairing with Zub was great. They may be hard to break up.
It's the best way to do it if they're on the road for sure and they are about to play alot of road games.Sanderson - JBD
Chychrun - Hamonic
Brannstrom - Zub
Some asked "why Zub on the 3rd pairing?"
Well he finished with the highest TOI on the Sens D, Brannstrom finished the 4th highest
It doesn't matter how it's lined up on the paper, game management is a lot more complicated than that, special situations, game situations, matchups, etc
I think above is the best way to go with Chabot out.
