Injuries

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters  3m
Clarkson questionable with muscle pull

The beat reporters think he hurt his leg in practice yesterday. Skated today for a few minutes then left practice early.

That Pronger Thing + Kovy Walkback = NHL Integrity

Is this a No-Schadenfreude Zone?  ???

I would have been happier if he hurt himself while falling.

If only he could!!

Hopefully that means that Ashton, the guy called up to sit in the press box, might actually get some minutes, and perhaps on the 3rd line, to boot!

 

[Highlander]

I like this line up for tonight..nice to see Holland back as centre and for Bodie and Ashton to play over Frazer and Molten..if Clarkson is hurt perhaps Ashton moves to his spot and D'Amigo plays on the 4th.

 

[Rebel_1812]

Is that schenn has a 6th dman.  Jeez what happened to the guy.  You'd think playing with his brother would improve his foot speed.

 

[Stickytape]

I really want two points out of this.  Not only is the team going into a hellish road trip, but Tampa is playing Boston, and Montreal is playing San Jose.  Could be another chance to take a step up.

I couldn't agree more. This is the kind of game we must win...

Sink them!

@mirtle: Leafs have recalled Frazer McLaren. Expect to see him tonight.

Why?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

@mirtle: Leafs have recalled Frazer McLaren. Expect to see him tonight.

Why?

Yeah, I didn't really think we had seen the last of him.

 

[Kessel Run]

@mirtle: Leafs have recalled Frazer McLaren. Expect to see him tonight.

Why?

Yes, why?

Also, there goes another of the 4 call-ups until the end of the season..

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

I think there are unlimited call-ups, just no more than 4 at any one time on the roster.

Because they best way to limit the Flyers from doing stupid things is to put guys into the lineup who are likely to provoke stupid things.  It makes sense if you squint and turn your head to the right a little.

Dresses for 26 games this season, averages 4:04 per game, is demoted for cap reasons and told he will be recalled.

What amazing accountability.  Do nothing, play almost no minutes, provide nothing - but keep your roster spot/pay.

I think there are unlimited call-ups, just no more than 4 at any one time on the roster.

You know I thought I remembered reading that rule was eliminated as well but it doesn't look that way. This is from section 13.12 of the CBA:

(l) During the period following 3:00 p.m. New York time of the fortieth (40th) day
immediately preceding the final day of the Regular Season, and continuing through and
including the last day of the Regular Season, no Player may be Recalled from Loan to a club of
any league affiliated with the NHL, except that:

(i) A Club may exercise four (4) regular Recalls from a club or clubs of any
league affiliated with the NHL, of Player(s) listed on its own Reserve List.

...

Following the conclusion of the Regular Season, no Player may be Recalled from
Loan to a club of any league affiliated with the NHL, except that:

(i) a Club may exercise an unlimited number of additional regular Recalls,
provided that it may have no more than three (3) Players on its Active
Roster who were Recalled by way of regular Recall after the Trade
Deadline. However, if a Club has Recalled four (4) Players pursuant to
Section 13.12(l) above, such Club will instead be permitted to retain those
four (4) Players on its Active Roster following the conclusion of the
Regular Season.

So the 4-recall rule is still in effect from the deadline to the end of the regular season. And during the playoffs it changes to the modified version that you described (except it's no more than 3, not 4).
