Nikita Filatov called up to Ottawa

Numerous reports are stating that Nikita Filatov has been called up to Ottawa for the game against the Maple Leafs on Sunday night. This would imply that Daniel Alfredsson will not play.

But imagine the opportunity for Filatov!

If he nets a goal or two, or sets up the GWG, fans are gonna love him.

Hat trick for the Filatov Cocktail.

If he doesn't play, does that mean that the Shanahammer will fall on Wolski?

Hopefully it will anyway.

I’d hate to see injury included as a determining factor for suspensions. A hit to the head isn’t okay as long as someone doesn’t get hurt, as far as I’m concerned.

Not a determining factor

But I think it should be a factor. Maybe add a game or two where the play warrants suspension regardless.

Awesome.

Poor Alfie.

Brad Richards friggin’ sucks.

here's to hoping he can play well enough to stay with the big club

Hard to imagine who he'd displace once Alfie is healthy

I'm happy for Filatov, but at the same time...

Poor Butler. When’s he gonna get his chance?

He needs to get healthy first

He’s out because of a groin injury right now, not as a scratch.

Butler is skating with the team now

Before yesterday’s game, MacLean said Butler needs a few more practices but he’s healthy enough to play if he had to.

I guess Filatov has been playing some where at least, so that tipped the decision.

I think he's a week to a week and a half out.

He posted on fb last week saying he should be back in two weeks.

I am guessing Konopka is benched/suspended.

Wait no...

Butler is playing, but Filatov is not.

Why would you think Konopka was benched or suspended?? Considering Scott Morrison, Brad May, Bruce Garrioch and Larry Brooks all credible journalists all stated that he didn’t even deserve a penalty and…why would he be benched as a bottom 6 to get Filatov a top 6 into the lineup ?? Makes no sense but you are less than objective I guess…“sens_adnan Adnan@gwplant Okay. I am biased. I don’t like Zenon Konopka. Now get over it. :)”
