Yep, that's why Carle is playing 25 minutes a game. Your response is not surprising.

I do not know what his specific injury is. No one knows. Except Kubina and the Flyers.
I have no doubt that if pressed Kubina could play. But whatever his issue is, it's badly hurting his effectiveness. To the point that he's a liability out there. Because a healthy Kubina is certainly an upgrade over Lilja and Gustafsson.

Couldn't agree more. Is Meszaros still out?

I'd be happy if we never had GBA again. And certainly can do without the duet. Start a new tradition. Like winning a cup in the 21st century.

I hope this isn't a really bad idea. I love them all but I love him just a little more.

It's a lot to put on a player in his situation. With the way the Devils are pounding on the forecheck. We've already seen how after that one game with JVR and the adrenaline rush of playing for the first time in while. Once that wears off, it's hard to play at a playoff level missing that much time.

Expected ice time (in your mind)? I'm thinking 10-15.

I think it depends on how he looks. But I think 15 give or take a few is a good guesstimate.

Agreed. Hopefully he can give the defense a boost. It's risky bc if he struggles they will be with five defenseman tonight.

I worry how effective he will be.

He is basically being pushed into service because of the must win.

Its been a hell of a ride this year, but I am not quite yet ready for it to end.

I didn't mind the duet when they only broke it out for a big playoff game, but this game-in, game-out just overdid it.

I really hope they're not rushing him back.
