Casey Cizikas

[mw147]

I liked Cole's game when he was up earlier in the season. Hopefully he brings it back.

I still think I might try Uncle Leo in the middle and slot in Ross the Boss.

My only hesitation is penalty killing. Bardreau can kill penalties.

It is but we have the next man up mentality and at least we will have Zeeker for the stretch drive and playoffs. Which is very important. Hopefully Bardreau can play as well as he did the first time up. This can't be good news for Koivalu. This should be his call up.

This is a huge blow.

#Isles report Casey Cizikas out three to four weeks with a leg laceration. Cole Bardreau recalled from Bridgeport (AHL).

Well this is fantastic news. I was expecting so much worse! Of course fantastic is the wrong word because you hate to see Zeeker hurt but you know what I mean.

I never saw the skate come into contact with his leg. I guess this could have been worse. We will get him back at least.

If this were twenty, thirty years ago, I'd get it. But with all we know about how the body recovers or doesn't makes it stupid to "play through." We have get over this idea that playing injured is something to be lionized for. I get athletes are "tough", but it shouldn't take courage to say "I want to be able to keep up my grandkids when I'm in my 60s."

I get what you are saying but there is nothing I love more than a hockey players mentality. I love that it is hard to hold the Stallions back!

It is hard to hold a hockey player down. It is opening night and the juices are pumped. Opening night is a special night but with hockey players they will also lie to get a chance to play in game 42 if they have to. Hockey players are tough and just want to play. It may not be the right thing to do but like it or not. This is the mentality of a hockey player.

After all Clutterbuck went through playing with a nagging injury, you'd think Casey would have been smarter and wait til he was 100%. Stupid.

It's all Lou's fault. AmIRite, Optimistic Adam??

I blame this one on Casey and Casey alone.

Re: #Isles C Casey Cizikas - Barry Trotz said he aggravated what sounds like a muscle issue in the last preseason game. Isles are now going to wait for Cizikas to get to 100 percent. Trotz said every time Cizikas plays, he re-aggravates the problem.

#Isles Barry Trotz said it's too early in the week to determine whether Casey Cizikas (lower body) will be available for Friday night's season-opener vs. #Caps but Trotz is hopeful Cizikas will resume skating in the next couple of days.

Glad he will be back but it sucks to start the season with bumps and bruises already.
