Z. Smith and M. St. Pierre recalled.

2 forwards?

Martin St.Pierre!

Watch what happens now...watch. He's gonna make it IMPOSSIBLE for us to send him back to the AHL.

St. Pierre! FINALLY!!!! Let's see what he can do at this level.

I don't know why there are 2...is Fish hurt too? Kovalev? I wouldn't be surprised at all.

I wonder if someone else is hurting...

So far none of our callups from Bingo have impressed this year.

I'm not getting too excited about St. Pierre but I am looking forward to seeing him play at this level.

I won't hold my breath over that. The guy's been bounced around for several years and never cracked any NHL roster.

Jesse Winchester has been horrendous lately. Is he banged up?

We just got a heck of a lot smaller.

Is St. Pierre going to be our 2nd line center?

Clouston presser from today:

No one else is injured, according to Clouston.

Never given the chance. In Boston last year I want to say he got 7 points in 16 games - and was hugely effective, but when the injured player came back, he was exiled again. He can play at this level, bringing destructive speed and the most incredible passing skill-set we have that's not named Jason Spezza.

The knock on him is that he's 5' or whatever.

These injuries are becoming too much too handle --- our whole top line is gone now. I'm usually an optimist, but things are starting to turn south.

However, like many of you, I'm looking forward to seeing what Martin can do up with the big club. I remember seeing him play with the B's a couple times and he didn't look half bad.

I know Michalek hasn't been scoring, but I'm really hoping this isn't longer than 1-2 weeks.

How are we not in the Taylor Hall sweeps lol....

Spezza
Alfie
Michalek

Man our top line is now injured haha... It's amazing to be in the position we are...

Both Z. Smith and M. St. Pierre are expected to be in the line-up tomorrow vs FLA.

I just hope these guys can hold the fort until our big guns get back. This team was already in a world of hurt without Alfredsson and Spezza in the lineup. Adding Michalek to the IR list is the worst news we could have gotten.
