I have now heard that they called up another goalie from Houston, so I have a feeling José won't even dress tomorrow night.Joesayfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748990916216019880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156504622828693243.post-67633350143009094632011-01-13T18:42:11.375-06:002011-01-13T18:42:11.375-06:00Great -- the beat writer has a better eye than the...Great -- the beat writer has a better eye than the trainers and coach on whether someone has an injury issue. The organization's professionalism slays me. /sarcasm<br /><br />News flash -- the NHL is working hard on recommendations concerning concussions. Granted, this isn't a concussion, and the player's input is always important. But "when players say they're OK to play, who's to say that they can't play?" -- the coach has the discretion to scratch players for any number of reasons. <br /><br />No matter what the injury, if the trainers can't make an assessment on whether continued play is likely to make an issue worse, the hockey operations department has issues of its own. If the trainer's assessment is correct and the coach ignores them, the general manager needs to have some issues with the coach. And if those issues don't get resolved, the owner needs to have issues on behalf of the whole organization.miseenjeunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156504622828693243.post-43474983657830929782011-01-13T15:53:27.241-06:002011-01-13T15:53:27.241-06:00Exactly.

You knew he was having issues? I couldn't believe it when I read that. I've tried to support the coach, but this is really bothersome.Joesayfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16748990916216019880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156504622828693243.post-85432735487417684652011-01-13T15:44:01.928-06:002011-01-13T15:44:01.928-06:00I might not be an NHL coach, but...

Of course Theo was gonna say he was OK to play... the guy usually plays once every ten games, so of course he wants to keep on starting and giving it his best. I'm pretty sure in the end it's the head coach's decision anyway, at least in other NHL teams I follow :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
