Huh
Feel like something might be up with Gus
Wonder if flower tweaked something. Otherwise this is just to practice with the team because we’re in LTIR and not accruing any cap space.
Not enjoying the “under emergency conditions” phrase there
well, that’s not how i wanted wally to get some ice time 😠assuming “emergency” means something’s up with gus/flower
Whatever the case with Gus, it’s future proof to give Wally some ice time in the NHL
After all, he still has to earn his future nickname “Brickwallstedt”
Hopefully we can get all the injuries out of the way and be healthy after the Feb break. It’s been brutal so far with hurt guys. Really surprised they keep playing as well as they have.
Wally has been getting worked in the ahl or so I’ve heard hopefully a couple games up here can boost him up
Hate when they announce this stuff before they announce what’s wrong with either Gus or Flower.. now I’m going to be refreshing Russo’s twitter every 5 minutes
Not to be opposite but it must be MAF needs a night off. If it was Gus, Wally would have been here today.
It’s happening
On the bright side, Flower looked really good today

> Goalie Jesper Wallstedt was recalled under emergency conditions, so it’s unclear if he could even start against Vegas and something is wrong with Filip Gustavsson. He did back up Fleury on Saturday and Fleury showed no signs of illness or injury after the game.
Gus and Freddy to Pittsburgh for Crosby and a 1st confirmed.
So he can sit in the suite and watch. The Minnesota way
Hope we get to see some Wally action
