I believe they were waiting on his equipment still and needed to dress someone. Rodin ended up being that someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The primary difference is that WD plays young players a great deal more. AV is far more Detroit model where players need to be entirely NHL ready.

Clearly you've never played the game player equipment is sacred to a pro athlete they like their pads, sticks, skates all to have a familiar feel to them. Each player is different, so yes waiting for his customized equipment is my answer. There's no "off the shelf" equipment at this level give me a break...

He was already coming off an injury at the time now he is ready .... don't buy that garbage that he is not. They are letting him sit because they know he will bolt anyways I wonder if it was to see if he had any chance of handling the regular season.

Close standings are such a drag. I wish it was like the old days when you didn't even have to check them to know. Also, sunshine is a drag.

Also as of this moment Rodin is higher on the depth chart too. I played Lacrosse up to junior. I only played rec hockey.

I'd play on equipment bought from the dollar store if it meant I got a chance in an NHL game and if you think any established NHL'er wouldn't do the same, well we all know why you suck at sports.

Seriously? First off Reid Boucher has already played in the NHL and knows he has an NHL career ahead of him so yes his own custom fitted equipment is that damn important to play at that level. Secondly I didn't "suck at sports" I injured my knee and didn't pursue any further lacrosse career because being able to have a job was more important.
