eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) It's more impressive that he's fifth in league scoring, and the highest scoring player already drafted. Cory Emmerton is 7th, also. And if a mod would please merge this with the existing Mursak thread? Edited November 5, 2006 by eva unit zero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 Mursak is exciting, alright. I'm already looking forward to 2011 when LGWers are starting threads like, "trade mursakk he's too smal we need grit :thumbdown: " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The OHL site (stat wise at least) is far better than anything the NHL has. That points go up on the board as they happen. Automatically updated. He has 38 points in 21 games. He owns the OHL's longest point streak to date having scored in every single game thus far. Mursak is exciting, alright. I'm already looking forward to 2011 when LGWers are starting threads like, "trade mursakk he's too smal we need grit :thumbdown: " At the very least Mursak is BLAZING fast. Though with regards to size and grit... The Red Wings are impressed with how fast the Slovenian has adjusted to North America, but his strength is a big concern. "He's as weak as a noodle right now, but you wouldn't know it watching him," said McDonnell. "He's real strong on his feet so when he comes out of the corner, he doesn't get trapped too much. He's very competitive." Weak as a noodle is not a good thing I've heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However with the success of a martin st. louis could this kid get a shot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah, I think he'll make it. Fast winger with good hands? And apparently isn't afraid of contact and high traffic areas. So long as he fills out a bit and his body holds up *knock on wood* he should be a Wing some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 With him on the LW and Emmerton also doing well at C, could be a possable future line in the making. Now where have we got the big RW hiding to complement this potential line? Any thoughts on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpiritFan 37 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 Again, my weekly Mursak update: First off, the "weak as a noodle" comment is totally innacurate! Jan is always the 1st one going into the corners & usually fights off guys left & right & comes out with the puck! He is VERY strong & you can see it regularly. I attend every home game for Saginaw, so I do get to see him a lot! Fast, gritty & strong! Now, as for theis week's games. The Saginaw Spirit played 3 games over the weekend (going 3-0). Jan Mursak had 2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points, was a +6 & had 0 PIMs. He extended the Saginaw record of 21 consecutive games with at least a point! He has 13 goals, 25 assists for 38 points in 21 games. He leads the team in scoring & is tied for 4th in the league. 3 points out of the top spot in scoring for rookies.

norrisnick 1 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 I think the "weak as a noodle" comment probably comes from the weightroom. That it doesn't seem to affect him when playing is a good sign and then any strength he does gain is a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 Yes could you keep an eye on the play of former Wings prospect #14 Tyler Haskin, he seem's to be having a good year. Not sure if he is the Centre on Mursak's line or not. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cstacer Report post Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Initially, fans speculated that he had either a separated shoulder or a broken collarbone. The coach indicated today during the pregame show though that Mursak was fine, and indeed, he did play tonight. Mursak had 1 assist going +1.

SpiritFan 37 Report post Posted November 20, 2006 My weekly Jan Mursak update: Yes, it's true, the consecutive game point scoring streak came to an end at 22 this weekend. Jan was injured in the game Friday vs. Plymouth & helped off the ice. The good news, tho, he played last night & started a NEW streak! It's at 1 right now! haha! Anyway, this week's stats (in 3 games) are: 0 goals, 3 assists, 3 points, +2 rating, & 2 PIMs. That's pretty bad when a point a game is considered a minor 'slump'! haha! See you all next week!

SpiritFan 37 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 Jan Mursak update (11/16/06): This weekend was a bit of an "off" week for Jan. In 3 games he only posted 2 assists & 4 PIM's & was an even +/- mark. Hopefully he gets back on track next week! Of course we did play 3 tough teams this week in Sault Ste. Marie, London & Owen Sound. It seems that other teams are watching their game tapes & focusing on shutting Jan down a bit & double teaming him at times, but he is still skating through the double coverage & looking really good out there. He definitely has not slowed down any. Too bad we will only have him here in Saginaw for one year. There's no way he does not move up to Grand Rapids next year.

Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted November 27, 2006 Or higher maybe?? I see he is a league leading +23 not bad for a rookie winger I'd say, lets hope he keeps his good 2 way play going as well as his scoring. If he can fill out to somewhere near 195-200lb, I see him getting a shot sooner than later, his speed is deadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
