    World Juniors Tournament

    Where can I watch this (after watching Jan the Man)?

    Teemu Pulkkinen

    He looked quite good against Canada even despite the 8-1 loss. Didn't see him against US. He's been getting lots of chances though, working hard, the points will come.

    Season-Long Lines Thread

    Franzen - Datsyuk - Bertuzzi Filppula - Zetterberg - Hudler Cleary - Helm - Mursak Miller - Abdelkader - Holmstrom There you have it, what the line-up looks like at full strength. Eaves rotating in with whoever is out of form/injured.

    Yep I'm definitely watching tonight, all eyes on Jan!

    I'd take Kindl all day, every day.

    Justin Abdelkader is actually a really ordinary skater.

    Miller-Filppula-Emmerton. Really?

    I'm angry Kindl is sitting. Very angry.

    I'll miss the game, will be at work. I'm confident we can get the win, I think Howard will have a great game.

    Filppula is "too nice".

    Yeah it's weird, the last few games he's still played really well, and he's had some quality scoring chances (1 against Rinne in close, and 2 last night on one shift in the 3rd) but nothing to show for it. Funny how hockey works sometimes.

    Flipper unlucky, great shift. No points for Flip!!

    No points for Filppula, when almost everyone else has.

    What'd Kindl do wrong?? I thought he had another good game. I agree with everything else you said. Can we put Abby back to centre and put Tatar on the wing? Emmerton needs to not see the ice unless we are down to 11 fit players.

    My goodness Emmerton is average. Terrible failed clear attempt which brought on that last Weber shot.

    That was a real exciting period, hopefully the rest of the game is as intense.

    Can Conner reasonably be sent down?

    He's been fantastic, providing a lot of energy, and it's amazing how many turnovers you can create through sheer hard work and energy. Honestly, he has been a million times more effective than Emmerton or Brunnstrom were this season. I think Emmerton will be waived when everyone is healthy, and I honestly think he might go unclaimed. There is not one single aspect of Cory's game that is outstanding making him easy to replace.

    Mursak Progressing

    The important thing is that he doesn't rush it. He'll be good to go sooner or later, but don't try to do too much, too soon. What we're seeing from Conner is what Mursak will provide, except Jan's bigger and has better hands. Take nothing away from Conner though, he's been terrific.

    I know the Joe is old and everything, but when you look at all the modern arenas, it makes you realise how good a view you get from anywhere (and I haven't been there!). Random I know. Anyway, really looking forward to this one, should be a beauty! Is Staal in the line-up for the Pens?

    Tatar

    Very impressive the way he’s managed to turn around a sluggish start to the season. He’s a very solid prospect, not outstanding, but I figure him to be a 20 goal, 50-60 point forward in the NHL. Love his work-rate, his hockey sense and his passion for the game. Oh and that’s a sweet jersey the Griffins wore.

    Mike Commodore

    Hes not untouchable, I think people just realise that hes been solid all season and deserves a bit of credit for playing his role successfully and not giving Babs any reason to sit him.
