Matt Robertson

[Raiderfan8]

Is he hurt or just not being played?

[Five Hole]

He got injured in on of the exhibition games... broken collarbone, I believe... (or was it shoulder?) out til probably December, maybe New Year..

[Wildeyes]

shoulder it was separted in the pre-season

[Raiderfan8]

Okay! Should I expect him to be in Raider Line up this year or will he be an SJHL player?

[Zookeeper]

I heard it was his chest, he will be back when he is healthy.

[Dwight Schrute]

very badly separated/ dislocated shoulder. should be out till mid november at the earliest
anholt said he plans to keep him after he comes back and he is good enough to play in this league

[Drop em' eh]

that is a pretty quick turn around time to recover from that type of injury. also not a lot of time for strengthing that injury after the initial recovery time, hopefully he isn't coming back too soon and chancing a re-injury

[Dwight Schrute]

i was very suprised to hear he was back

[Doogie_T-BirdsFan]

robertson is a bandaid he will be hurt all year

[Raiderfan8]

If Robertson plays this good hurt I hope hes hurt all year! hahahaha!

[Dwight Schrute]

lets hope he can build on this and keep it up, congrats on a grat start to his whl career

[Zookeeper]

His first goal was a nice one, the pass was in his feet and he still got it into the net. His second goal was a gift, Jory should of had it, 5 hole, weak shot. Robertson was all over the ice tonight, he looked healthy to me.

[Wildeyes]

What i saw 2nite was Robertson played well but he needs to work on his back check when he was on the ice it looked like when the puck was going the other way hed stop skating i would like to see that change

true,id like to see him show defensive awareness. but as long as he puts it in the net people will be happy (they were all happy when seth leonard potted 50 right ?)

[Zookeeper]

Boy was Seth ever good with the puck. I remember when he scored 3 hat tricks in three straight games. He did not like to pass very much. Hope Robertson can score 50 one day.

who cares if he didn't pass much he was the only one that could score that year give him the puck

[westbeach55]

why is everyone so critical over robertson he scored two goals and played well but i guess we have to find things to criticize about him. why can't we just be happy for him, I mean hearing a comment like he is a bandaid one injury makes you become a bandaid i think he plays smart and keeps himself away from most plays which he might or could get injured.

Oh, that explains why he never goes in the corner. hes scared.

no point going in corners when you don't need too, obviously he is doing something right. are you a raider fan cause you should be happy we found a player that can score

[Zookeeper]

Robertson is a smart player for not going into the corners, he is not 100% healthy yet and why would he put himself at risk of getting hurt? He did all right Wednesday night. He will rack up the points someday, maybe even this year.

[Dwight Schrute]

a guy 5'9 160lbs with a great shot shouldnt be digging in the corners, he should be getting into a shooting position. dowhay hewson depape, trach and others are great in the corners and should be the ones in there

[Raiderfan8]

I think Robertson is proving that he is a scoring threat in the leauge. Im sure he's not the biggest kid but he's a sniper!

[Zookeeper]

He has 2 goals already tonight and the game is in the 2nd period.

[westbeach55]

nice win to start of the road trip didn't think we were going to get this one but sounds like a good effort and for robertson not going in corners STAY OUT your doing something right another 2 goal performance

[Dwight Schrute]

and for robertson not going in corners STAY OUT your doing something right another 2 goal performance
bingo !!! he shouldnt be the one digging in the corner. people might get the impression he should because hellyer goes into the corners though

the kids goal was to earn powerplay time and produce keep it up robertson

[Raiderfan8]

Go to the Calgary Hitman message board and see Dylan YEO sing O. Canada before the game! He does a great job for a kid from PA!
