Kind of surprised by Robinson recall. He hasn't been very productive for the Heat compared to his stats last year, but he is a big body forward.

Robinson will cast an imposing shadow from the press box.

That, or the coach really hates Austin Czarnik.

I didn't know we had a Buddy Robinson.

That's the jersey I need.

[Shazam]

But did he find his dad?

Buddy coming just in time for Christmas?

[Iceman57]

I'm pretty excited to see Buddy Robinson play although on the flip side I'm equally disappointed that they would rather have Lomberg here over Kerby Rychel. I thought Rychel looked really good in his two game stint and would be a player who would get more comfortable and start producing given just a little more time, hopefully Rychel is back in the new year 🎉

[Vinny01]

Does that mean Bennett and Neal could miss more time?

Why not Foo? I don’t get the Lomberg love

[GirlySports]

they want to play physical against Tampa?

Surprised Robinson got called up, he's not really been producing much compared to Lazar. Maybe his two way game is better?

You misspelled "size".

I am skeptical that Lazar will ever play another game as a Flame.

[Toonage]

Agreed. They know what they have in Lazar. Glad he's found his game in the AHL, but thats likely where it stays.

[TheScorpion]

Robinson? Wow, legitimately did not expect that one

[genetic_phreek]

Gaudreau - Monahan - Robinson??

Treliving on the Fan this morning mentioned Bennett and Neal are game time decisions. So these call ups are probably precautionary.

Also worth noting, he said Valamaki isn't expected back until the end of January. Frolik maybe after Christmas.

[David Struch]

Johnny Gaudreau's buddy, Buddy Robinson!

On Lazar, I think he has one shot left to stick. Either he makes it in his next shot or he is done. I think they are letting him "marinate" to ensure that he has a strong basis to lean on when times get tough.
