Still leaves one wondering. I just hope he's good to go without any sort of pain.

Pain?

...maybe he reads here?

I should have typed, "any sort of pain".

Lol.

I think they are rushing him and as HW said, expect to see him hurt within a week with a groin pull.

NEWS FLASH JB, it is not the D and why they the team sucks and has the record they do.

It’s also not because they lost 2 borderline NHL’rs to waivers.

Since that post the Hamonic interview has come out.

Hammy says he has skated a lot harder this off-season than he has in years.

Says he feels good to go but it's up to the Green Man if he suits up right away.

NEWS FLASH: Hamonic is back so room had to be made on the roster.

(and Boner was overdue for some major farm team icetime)

Thanks - didn't see the talk about skating but skating on his own and playing in the NHL is different (well duh), would prefer a couple more games in AHL to get him ready.

I was commenting that it is not only the D that is causing the team be where it is, this seems to reek of desperation from Green and JB on finding something to motivate this team to win. Hell if it is I print out this page and eat it with 2 fingers of 99.

Nice, such an affable guy and a great teammate. Tough guy for the media to pull their BS on too.

Hopefully he's good to go, near the end I think it comes across like he might just be painfully religious. To each their own.

Yeah I get you Reef.

I feel Hammy needs to be with the team (like family he said) right now though with everything he's been through.

No need for him to travel with the farm team to California I don't think.

(besides he hasn't had his 2nd jab yet, so I don't imagine it's even an option)

If he looks good, feels good in practice maybe he plays tomorrow.

Or maybe not.

Whatever, but no doubt he'll see limited minutes in his first game or two back.

Interesting to me to discover from the interview that his teammates were aware/supportive of what he went through

... and yet the juicy story was never leaked.

Good for them and good for management (whom Hammy praised up and down today).

This is the kind of thing you want to see on a team amirite?

Hambone will be knee slapping shit straight

Rushing him into the lineup does have a desperate feel to it but let's face it, Hamonic's presence is definitely going to provide a shot in the arm. (f'k it, I had to go there)

Well the farm team is off to California and Hammy can't go because he hasn't had his second jab yet.

So let him practice with the team and be inserted into the lineup when he's ready.

No other option really.

And again, Hammer says he skated harder this off-season than he has in years, Green says he's in top shape...

I don’t see the desperation. He is prolly a legit better option than what our bottom pairing guys were, and if he is ready, he is ready. If he is a shot in the arm (I like that one!) for the team, then all good.

Yeah he looked good playing over 20 minutes in the Abbotsford game.

What I found interesting is he said last season he broke some ribs and missed 4 weeks. This whole time I thought it was a groin injury. LOL

So no worries anymore on him pulling the groin.

Right, I saw that, it was meant as a comment in the event they were to dress him as early as tomorrow, which they could and the optics of them doing that given the state of the team.

The ham-bone connecta to the rathbone...

Or maybe not. Who will be waived?
