For those more in the social media know than I on the canes, what’s up with Dougie? I thought he had practiced in training camp and with the team leading up to this series. I know he was a scratch for game 1, but now 2 & 3 according to the projected lineups today. Is it still his leg, just wanting to ride the current lines or is there something else going?

Not on social media but from media reports it seems he had a different injury separate from the broken leg and it’s serious enough to hold him out a few weeks but not longer than that (and it occurred maybe a week and a half ago or so). I think he’s close to returning and maybe could play today if we needed him but we’re just being smart to hold him out and give him an extra week of rest considering how we’ve dominated the series without him so far.

 

My speculation (probably wrong...) based on timeline, is that he pushed himself a bit too much in practice and pulled his groin or something like that— pretty common aggravation coming off a leg injury like his earlier in the year.

Ya, that makes sense. Resting him is good, if we win tonight(*knock on wood*) that’ll give us a full 7-8 days. Which has its ups and downs. 

It’s just slightly concerning since they don’t have to disclose if it’s a bigger deal.

NHL injuries are almost always shrouded in mystery. Much more so in the coronaverse where ship sinking loose lips are less present.

Like I said Reimer to slow on his side to side. Should have tested Reimer next game. If there is to be a next game. 

He's always been a more stationary goaltender. Not my favorite style,  but he's been the difference in this game so far.

The golden boy Igor hasn't been looking as formidable as he did during the regular season.
