9/25 Pre-Season GDT: Chicago Blackhawks at Red Wings

[Jusek 437]

Horrible looking injury there for Mursak.

[stevkrause 1,247]

Well, Mursaks out at least 6-8 weeks...

Exactly what I was thinking. That really sucks, he was looking great out there tonight.

Looked horrible. Ouch!

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Love seeing Nick talking that animatedly with the young guys, passing on some wisdom to Smith.

That looked awful. not to be barbaric, but looks like the wings just lost a little speed and at the same time, a roster spot may have opened up for guys like brunnstrom to step up and take...

Aye. I'm very glad now that there are likes of Brunnström and Conner there.

Mursak injury did not look good. This is why depth is a good thing.

I haven't watched all the games too closely, but can anyone give me a quick report on Emmerton? From what little I've seen of him, he has pretty much underwhelmed. I've seen a couple of giveaways and some not so great decisions from him.

[CanadaBoy 151]

Fractured left ankle for Mursak.

[P. Marlowe 748]

Mursak has a fractured left ankle.

[brett 1,029]

Cant say he wasnt leaving it all on the ice to make the team.

Fractured Left Ankle, damn that sucks. I was hoping he could go for one of those forward spots well now we'll see who will make the team.

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

i know its only preseason, but for a game televised on FSN this GTD is kind of pathetic haha. Looks like there is officially 2 open roster spots. Whos ganna get them? Brunnstrom has looked solid as has Conner...nothing stellar, but solid. Emmerton has looked average at best. Val has looked good, maybe taking the step up to the next level?

[Miss Wing Queen 154]

I'm not going to say what I'm thinking, but I'm sending a box full of these for the team to wear all season long. Get well, Jan! Tough break for him (no pun intended).

[brett 1,029]

nyquist looks great. Just gotta get that finishing touch. he could have 2-3 goals this game

tie game

bleh

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

Wow...he hasnt looked great, nor has he gotten alot of help, but Conklin is not having a great game...

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Smith with a bad turnover, ends up in the back of the net. Not much Commie could do there to help.

Agreed, though this is my first time actually noticing him. Can he contribute on a nightly basis?

brunnstrom may be a beneficiary of the Mursak injury.

[Guest Heaten]

That's a patent Brendan Smith giveaway. Get use to it, it's what he does... often. I hope he because what we all hope he's suppose to be capable of, but I'm not that high on him. He;s a giveaway machine.

He made a nice play at the blueline to keep it in the offensive zone. Then unfortunately he followed it up with a bad pinch and got caught out of the play.

I don't see him on the fourth line, but he could play there. iMO Conner is closer to the last spot because his speed matches with Helm and Eaves the best.

the big thing with brunnstrom i think, is the amount of potential he has.

I honestly thought you would like Smith. Like many of the forwards you do like, he has an immense amount of raw skill. Smith just needs some time to put it together before making the jump.
