How funny would it be if Gackle is wrong again?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Awesome that he got called up. Sucks that it had to be as a result of the Couture injury.

 

[Sideshow Raheem]

Would have been nice to be able to recall Barzal, an actual center, to replace Couture right about now...

Oh .. I think I need to start making 'in before Sideshow Raheem *****es about something post(s). Are you ever happy with anything?

We have 3 really good centers when healthy. Jumbo, Couture-Hertl. Tierney is not a great 3C but he is good in a 4C role. And then we have Pavs and Patty who can also fill in as C's too. Injuries are part of the game. Center depth is not something that is an issue for us.

Yep. Since he was too sick to make it out of camp, it was clear he'd only get called up due to injury. But it sucks that the injury was to such an important player in any event but even moreso bc we're already down a center in Hertl.

I'm still excited to see Timo in the NHL.

Barzal would have still been a much better pick and he can play both wing and center while Meier can only play wing.

In the past it's always been "we have too many centers, we need wingers!!!" now it's the opposite. Some people will never be happy.

FIRE WILSON, FIRE PETE, BURN IT ALL DOWN

AHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited!!

Timomania.

 

[USF Shark]

Let's see what the kid can do!

 

[Bowie22]

Bust if he doesn't score 4 goals on his first shift.

Time will tell on that one.

Also, how is discussing Barzal in a thread referring to the Meier callup contributing to the conversation.

You just can't hide it.

Agreed.

Especially since he can't play C like Barzal can.

Gotta be negative about the best thing that's happened this season!

You just can't hide it.

Unfortunate that he gets to play his first NHL game against Carey Price though.

RIP Couture...but TIMO TIME wooooOOOOoooo

 

[Juxtaposer]

ScottyDont posted this lineup in the roster spec thread:

Marleau-Thornton-Meier
Boedker-Pavs-Lebanc
Ward-Tierney-Donsoki
Nieto/Haley-Wingels-Karlsson

I think it's the best solution, considering Carpenter/O'Regan weren't called up.

 

[Bowie22]

All this excitement, and I just remembered I have work during the entire game...

Call in sick. Timo time is more important.
