Bates Status

I note that Shawn Bates' listing on the Isles team roster does NOT have the "**" next to his name.

So I'm asking the question: Does this mean that Sean Bates is now available?

I'm not counting the minutes 'till his return or anything... I just happened to notice this when I looked at the roster.

Anyone know?

Come on dude - We discuss Bates all the time, your on here enough to know no one knows his status. He was supposedly close to returning to action and then had an apparent setback as he's not mentioned in any of Nolan's comments about injured players.

Why not start a thread on if Hilbert should get contacts cause maybe he'll score more......

The more news you can find on Bates or his groin is great Hardlee Playinoff. :argh:

Well I'm sorry Dude but it just gets a little nutty reading the same three discussions on here every few days cause it falls off the first page of post and people(not pointing at you specifically) are too lazy to find and revive a topic to express there opinion.

Bates - Groin

MAB - Sucks at Def

Hilbert - Can't put the puck in the net

I'm just glad the Tamby debate has gone away with the good play but give it a 2-3 game losing streak and that'll be back for sure.

Wait till Berard has a bad game then we'll get why are Defense is being held together with duck tape and bubble gum.

Bates is currently traveling through the Alps with a map that was drawn up for him by Duncan MacPherson.

Well... from the initial responses so far, perhaps, inadvertantly, I've provided a valuable service here by revisiting a topic that's engaged and rejuvinated the venom and humor of one and all!

Let's face it: dumb penalties in the last 2 minutes of close games, lack of scoring, continual groin injuries, etc., etc.... we all miss having the guy around to get down on! You can't blame one for wanting to know when something like this might resume.

So chill, dude... don't get your butt in such a pucker! Ouch! You sound like you're about to go postal!

But we don't seem to be in any kind of rush to play him up here.

I don't get it.

When he comes up here he doesn't put up the big numbers because he doesn't get the ice time. Leave him in Bridgeport. Let him develop. We are in NO RUSH to bring him up here and have him sit on the fourth line and play 4 mins a game. We are not the Rangers, don't ruin the players.

Well at least this is good news for one board memeber!! I guess we should be seeing him around Turkey time, maybe in the back to back against Boston.
