Lupul likely broken wrist or broken arm. Thanks Phaneuf. The guy can't hit anything with his shot except one of our star players...

Are you serious?

The way he was holding it, combined with the report. That would be my best guess.

I meant about actually being upset with Phaneuf.
Click to expand...

Yeah, why not? He's an idiot. He just wildly winds up with his teammates standing in front. He has no idea where his shot is going and he does it anyway.

Was that shot even going wide?

And so the Leafs should get more traffic on goalies but shouldn't wind up from the point?

And nice to call him an idiot, too.  Classy as always.

No. As usual you don't listen to what people say. You take it all personally and get all defensive. He's an idiot for winding up and shooting wildly with guys standing in front. The puck hit Lupul at about waist height. Why are you shooting waist height with people standing in front? You shoot low, at ice level. This is basic hockey knowledge. Regardless if it was going wide, it was too high. It was a wild shot. Phaneuf shouldn't be blasting it if he has no idea where it's going. You shoot with purpose, not just because you can.
 
Do they plug Steckel into the lineup, move McClement up a line and give Kadri Lupul's minutes?

Perhaps bring Connolly up to be the 13th forward?

Of course Frattin seems like a logical replacement too, but only if they are going to give him scoring minutes.

I suspect if it's short term, Connolly get the call and if it is going to be a while, Frattin see's action.

I guess it depends on the severity of the injury. If it's only a game or two, yeah, they probably move someone up in the line up and put Steckel in. Longer term, I imagine Frattin comes up.

Phaneuf needs to use a stiffer stick. He has no accuracy because the stick is too whippy, and he's too much of a meathead to realize it.
Click to expand...

How on earth do you know what causes his shot to be accurate or not?
Click to expand...

Experience and coaching. How would you know?
Click to expand...

How many years have you coached Phaneuf?  Which stick does he use exactly?

I'm not claiming to know.  I'm questioning how you know.

Do you often call the players you coach idiots?
Click to expand...

I don't need to coach him to see that he has no control over his shot. Plus the way he's always flexing his stick during stoppages in play, I can see with my own eyes that its too whippy and it is a perfect explanation for why he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot.
