norrisnick 1 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 Shocked? No. Infuriated? Yes. Does hockey work like baseball? Cant they just throw Drake on the IR and call up Grigorenko to take his spot? If Downey has to be sent down, while Drake tries to play with a cage...thats friggin stupid if you ask me. Franzen is going on the IR for Igor, but he'll get healthy fairly soon.

therock48880 14 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 Even if it's not for Grigs, it's pretty clear that when everybody's healthy, Downey may be out of the lineup. As for Grigorenko, they'll likely give him a shot whether he deserves it or not just to see what the kid can do. But to stay on the roster he's going to have to earn it. Holland and co. sounded underwhelmed by him showing up to camp out of shape. Kopecky played nearly 13 minutes last game, and has played over 10 minutes the last three games. Obviously injuries are a factor there, but stil, Babcock is giving him the time. Seems like he's seeing something all the Kopecky bashers are not. I thought Kopecky played well the last game. Actually, the third and fourth lines were impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
