Prospal (UPDATE: Prospal Skating in Practice)

HockeyBasedNYC · 12-13-2010, 11:10 PM

With Boogaard hurt its likely White or Christensen.

If i had to choose it would be White.

Lets ease Drury back into things please. Lets not disrupt the flow this team has built. I doubt one player could do that, especially from the 4th line - so it should be good getting him back into the swing of things. I trust Johns decision making here, hell do the right thing.

Vitto79 · 12-14-2010, 11:36 AM

so Drury with Avery and EC on the right wing? that would be interesting but I guess he has played wing before

Love the following quote

"It's not going to be the kids," Tortorella said. "I'll tell you that right now. No kids are coming out....This is our captain coming in right now, Chris Drury. I think everyone wants him in. Someone's going to have to suffer. Someone's going to have to sit out. It's not going to be a kid, though."

Fitzy · 12-14-2010, 11:59 AM

Torts gets it. Lets just hope Sather does too come this summer and locks up our kids like he did Staal and Girardi

that god damn torts

he has no idea how to handle youth

(but seriouslly: glad he appears to be making the right decision)

Bye-Bye, Christensen.

Drury should play Defense for MDZ a few games to show him how it's done.

Bump 'd

In case some people don't read the boogard thread, Prospal was practicing with the team today for the full 60 minutes.

Need to change thread title, IMHO.

With a Red "No-Touch" Jersey

But still, a nice bit of information that we will get a decent asset in January without giving anything up.

Looking forward to it.

i can't wait for vinny to come back

Khelvan · 12-21-2010, 05:04 PM

I am interested to see who Prospal skates with as he's brought back into the lineup.

Fitzy · 12-21-2010, 05:11 PM

I'm sure Vinny would agree; i'd give him a few game conditioning stint in Hartford to see where his game is at before injecting him into the pro lineup full time.

probably avery and EC

The Perfect Paradox · 12-21-2010, 07:40 PM

Glad to see that Prospal is skating with the team; with Callahan out, he could provide a huge boost for this team.

New England Hockey · 12-21-2010, 08:06 PM

Who do you guys think is going to lose their 'A' when all of our alternative captains are back?

Vinny Prospal NOT wearing a non-contact jersey. That was quick.

Staal. But he should keep it when Vinny comes back, because Prospal will likely be back before Callahan.

is there a limit on how many A's?

I'd like for staal to keep his and just make vinny another A

doubt they can/would do that though

I don't see a BIG impact happening, but i'd be shocked if there wasn't some type of positive impact. Especially on Gaborik.

I don't think Vinny's getting the "A" back. It's the young guys team now.

Likely? Prospal is likely back within a week.

callahan is out for up to 2 months

Torts said Vinny sucked in practice and Prospal said himself he is a waaaaaaaays from being ready......so yea First week Jan maybe. he'll need some time to skate and get back into shape
