Brooks Sammy Blais Will Miss Remainder of Season with Torn ACL

[Phil]

 

[Kevin]

This is shitty news but expected the way his knee looked when he went down.  Hopefully the surgery goes smoothly and he's ready to return in 2022.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Rest of the season??? Fuck!

Now what? Gonna make a trade for a winger I guess?

I don't see another option. We have awful RW depth. 

We can fuck around with Chytil and Goodrow I guess, but I think a trade is going to be the solution in the end.

"We play them alot" was Reaves answer after the pre season game where Subban tried to end Reaves' season aswell.

Reaves (and the rest) better beat the shit out of Subban in the next games. Seriously, fuck that dude.

Awful. He's a solid player, Slewban strikes again.

[Keirik]

Aweful news but I think we all expected it. 

[Dunny]

I wouldn't worry, we protected Hajek from a waiver claim. 

[Valriera]

This is just a nightmare scenario, and a really, really bad look on our management for the kravtsov situation. No way around it. Wouldn’t look as bad if events haven’t transpired the way they have but unfortunately they have, and we pissed a perfectly good solution off to Russia. Really, really bad.

Maybe the Potvin Sucks chants can finally be retired, and now can be PK Sucks

That ship has sailed homie. If he wasn’t going to do shit when it happened to him, why would we expect him to do anything when it was a teammate?

It's incredible how hard this hits months later. Just jaw-dropping.

I like Blais, but what they really need right now is a first line right wing.  Blais wasn't that guy.

Goodrow should be centering the 3rd line which looked ok with Lafraniere & Gauthier on it.

He was suppose to be a deterrent.....months later he hasnt deterred anything.

[Blue Heaven]

Next Rangers/Devils game is March 4......by that time the Rangers will have forgotten what happened with PK

[Cash or Czech]

Absolutely gutted for him, he started off really well. Hoping for a successful surgery and speedy recovery 

[Drew a Penalty]

The only good news to come out of this is that extending him will probably be easy next offseason. Everything else about this sucks.

I fuckin' knew it.  What a shitty break for us.  I like Blais and he's exactly the type of player this team needs.

Opens the door for a Tarasenko deal, possibly.

This sucks ass.  That dirty bastard will get his!  Karma is a mutherfucker...

Yup. They can just give him another one-year deal, same value.

Kyle Clifford is on waivers from the St. Louis blues he could be a quick solution. Or with the 9 million in the bank you can go out and get a quality top winger

[josh]

that sucks

[Flynn]

I’m just happy we got retribution.

They recalled McKegg. So technically they dont have any roster spots with Blais going to IR and Chytil coming off.
