Jakub Kindl called up from Grand Rapids

I'm actually wondering if the guy screws up and costs us a goal, how many LGW'ers will be eating their own, like we have with Stuart, Leino, etc.

As with the backup goalie, the best player is the one who isn't in the lineup.

Cloutier?

Helm is playing on the third line today, tomorrow, and for the rest of his career.

Look, the guy's energy is second-to-none, but he does not have the hands nor goal scoring touch to play on a top line. Appreciate Helm for what he brings to the team and stop expecting him to develop into something he isn't.

I sadly have to agree with this, despite how big of a Helm fanboy I am, the guy is truly inspiring, but he can't finish for s***, and that's really what gets you on the top lines.

Well it's always something he can work hard on to get better at. But even if he's this terrible offensively for the rest of his career I wouldn't care, because his responsibilities he takes care of right now is more than anything we could ask of him.

Looked like Kindl wasn't that bad at all. Made a couple solid defensive plays and had a ripper from the point. Wouldn't count him out yet

Very impressive indeed. And with Ericcson now being injured, he's going to be here a bit longer for the time being.
