I was wondering why he would choose to call up Wallin instead of Stalberg. I know Stalberg isn’t checking line material, but this speed would really help that line out.

Wallin is not waiver exempt, and was never sent down. he’d been a healthy scratch.

curious as to who is getting moved though. no injuries that i’m aware of. The waiver exempt guys are who…? Schenn and Kulemin I think. Anybody else?

Maybe when we are down two goals with 3 and a half minutes to go we can throw him over the boards instead of Rickard ( 0 goals, 2 assists ) Wallin.

I want to believe he only sat out last night because Exelby played so well against Ottawa, and RW didn’t want to send the message that playing great gets you a seat in the press box.

Welcome back Vik.

I’m guessing Schenn will be back in the line-up for next game as Finger was horrible last night and Exelby wasn’t much better. Wallin is the guy I think who’s job is most in jeopardy. He doesn’t look like an NHL player. While some forwards – Blake, Stempniak, Primeau, even Mayers – took a while to get going, their play has vastly improved since the beginning of the season. Wallin hasn’t shown any improvemnet and may even have regressed. A couple times he had the puck on his stick last night in the offensive zone and he completely froze up and mishandled it.

by general borschevsky on Dec 17, 2009 10:37 AM EST reply actions

So:

If all they’re doing to accommodate this is to rescratch Wallin (good idea), How are the lines affected? I doubt they’d call up Stalberg to play on the 4th, and I can’t see breaking up Kulemin-Primeau-Stempniak right now. Does somebody (Jason Blake) get a severe demotion into Wallin’s spot to make room?

I would move Poni down a line and see if the Grabovski-Poni-Hagman combo can start clicking like last year.

Stalberg – Stajan – Kessel
Poni – Grabbo – Hagman
Kulemin – Primeau – Stempniak (should stay together, and I think Wilson using them on the PP last night was a statement to their work eithc)
Blake – Mayers – Orr…?

Although, Ron keeps talking about Blake being the hardest working guy on the team. Demoting him doesn’t make much sense, but playing Stalberg on the 4th line isn’t exactly conducive to his strengths. I’m stumped…

Sounds like they really do have a plan

to rotate all the kids through stints in the NHL. So far it’s been

Stalberg
Bozak
Hanson
Stalberg

so money that he’ll be up for a few games to peg where he’s at against the tough competition, then down again to work on it, and Bozak is back up next.

Bozak wont get a shot until he is back in game form. He still hasnt fully recovered from the bacon flu, his injury showed that.
He might be ready in a month or 2

I wouldn’t look into what line he’s on in practice. RW probably hasn’t decided where to play him yet.

I had a dream (seriously)

Just before my alarm woke me up this morning, I remember about a minute of a dream I was having.

I was at a poker tournament for some reason(Sundin wasn’t there, as far as I could tell)

Luke Schenn was sitting at a table playing Texas hold’em
(An aside for Arch – as he is our fashion critic) Schenn was wearing a light blue dress shirt – cut well – with a mid sized modern style collar and an understated black tie.

He had just coolly out played an opponent head to head and was quietly flirting with a blond sitting to his left.

I thought about this dream on the drive to work and I choose to analyze it thusly:

Schenn in the game – Schenn will be in the game on Friday (now confirmed)

Schenn wins the pot – we will win the game

Shenn with the girl – Schenn will score Friday night (and he might even get a goal.)

There.

Not the best dream I have ever had, but the first dream that had a hockey player in it.

The other night I dreamt that I was playing shinny at my local rink, got jobbed on a tripping call and complained to the timekeeper… who was Chris Bosh.

I have no idea what this means but dammit it wasn’t a trip.
