Sitting tonight

[newfcollins]

I know this has been done in the past, but I thought it might be a good idea to post who is sitting in games leading up to the trade deadline.

Here's a couple to start.

Panarin is scratched tonight against Montreal, but Torts says it's because of the flu. (Direct quote from John Wu on Twitter: " “He’s SICK... he shit his pants and he’s puking his guts out.”)

Matt Duchene is a healthy scratch for Thursday's game to not risk injury.

Best. Comment. Ever. in the twitter thread.

"So Panarin had an upper and lower body injury?". Gold Jerry, Gold!

Thanks, now we know who's sitting and who's shitting

A little late, but Duchene, Stone and Dzingel are all scratched for tonight's game.

Anyone have any word on Arvidsson? He missed morning skate but can't see if he's in the lineup tonight.

Colorado must be happy.

Teams sitting out players this week are a disgrace to hockey players around the world. It's embarrassing and it makes the NHL look like a complete joke. Can you imagine if you had bought tickets to the Senators/Devils game tonight and when you show to the game you find out that the 3 players who have scored 41% of the Senators's goals this season and two players from the Devils are not playing for "precautionary" reasons. I would be demanding a refund on my ticket.

I am sure that many of you are going to say that this is smart for the Devils and the Senators because they don't want these assets to be damaged before they can be moved. But why was this game any different than the previous ~60 games. These players were just as likely to get hurt in any of those games as they are in the game they sat out tonight so they should have been sitting out the previous 20 or so games once the Devils and the Senators realized they were not going to be playoff teams.

Please see the Jeff Skinner injury and tell me you still think it's embarrassing. Not saying they said they were going to move him but, given their freefall it was definitely a route they could take come Monday.
