Ericsson back tonight; Janik back down to GR

Lebeech does indeed suck balls. And he's still only 5 feet tall, 120lbs.

Just tall enough to reach the balls

I am excited to see the Big Rig, but sorry to here that Janik is gone! However, I will stand up for Lebda, he has been playing better over the last month and we certainly can use his speed on the back end. Meech on the other hand, I think has been our weakest link.

Now that the Big E is back we now have 4 Power Play Defensemen, so hopefully that will change this evening and get us into the #8 spot for once!!!

No, the CBA still allows conditioning stints. A year ago, Chris Chelios came to GR for a few games before returning to the Wings when he had fractured his foot. This season, Grand Rapids first saw Michael Nylander on a two week conditioning assignment (he has now returned on a regular AHL assignment). In both Chelios' and Nylander's case, it was announced as being player-requested as opposed to being "sent".

Thanks for the info. So could you call Babcock and let him know cuz I think he might be in the dark on that one...

And with more roster updates...Brad May's in, Leino's a healthy scratch.

Lebda might have a fortunate slip and fall tonight so Janik can be recalled. If only it could happen.

I normally would feel bad about liking this but, nope; not this time.

Funny how they rotate this every game.

I think Babcock is close to telling Leino to go f*** himself permanently. He's clearly pissed at his effort and performance, especially since Carolina isn't really a tough team physically for May to be playing.
