10 misconduct, 5 for fighting and 2 for instigating, afaik.

Not sure if he got anything else.

SHARROW SCORES! 3-1 MOOSE!

Edler was having another BIG shift on the PP. Jesus Christ, get this guy up to Vancouver.

EDLER gets an assist!

So does he look like he is 100 percent? Notice anything with his mobility or speed? Awkward footwork?

What exactly was wrong with him btw? Abdominal muscle flapping over his hip bone?

Nonis and Tambi coming up during the intermission.

I'll recap.

He was having problems with his hip flexor.

He's looking really good out there tonight, if he's injured, he's sitting at like 90-95%.

[Flinch]

Wow.

D-Mac is not looking that happy there, skating to the bench. Barged past his teammates.

Here's hoping he plays lights out in the third and the Moose can capitalize.

[Untouchable]

I'm looking at the shot total on the Moose website and it says Grand Rapids have only 4 shots?

In the first period, yeah.

Come on boys, pick it up.

Awesome fight Luc!!!

Anticipates players going up and down during this year.

On Shannon,

Played really well for us, but, we've got to jumpstart things, been excellent on PP, hopes to give Manitoba a spark.

Can we expect to see him up and down a lot?

Nonis: Right now we haven't really found what's going to work for us in Vancouver. We have extra bodies. Instead of young players sitting and watching, much better off seeing him playing. Expect some point in the future to settle down, but there may be some more moves in the next week or two.

Thoughts on some players here,

Edler - Nonis: Alex had a very good camp. Probably deserved to stay with the Canucks. Look at our top 7, would certainly be in 7-hole. Doesn't have desire to have young players watching games from the pressbox. Loves watching him out on the powerplay, thinks he can still some learn. Absolutely confident he will be an NHL defenseman.

Bourdon - Nonis: Expectations are high with him. Had such a great camp when he was 18. Everyone thought he was going to step right in and be a top 4. It just hasn't happened. Not possible that this happens with all players. He'll benefit from being here in Manitoba. Loved him in the first two periods. Thinks that he's going to make an impact here. Has great footspeed and is playing with emotion and heart.

Wants Bourdon playing physical. Wants him to be a well-balanced defenseman, can play hard and tough with some offense.

Rypien - Nonis: I think that Rick will be playing games with us REALLY QUICKLY. One thing we're missing right now is 'emotion', third/fourth line player that can be really hard to play against. We sent him down to play at the start was to make sure he got some time in and a game or two in before we put him into Vancouver.

Raymond - Nonis: Mason's been having a great job. He has no problem keeping him up there if he's going to play with the club. If he's going to sit, send him to Manitoba. As he gets more and more comfortable he will get better and better. As he learns the pro game and the pace, he can only improve. He thinks he'll stick and if he doesn't, he'll make a positive impact with the Moose.

On sending players down, what do you say to them

Nonis: Sometimes, it's not telling them to improve. Some guys are impressing and it's not because of what they are doing, but more to do with team needs. Shannon may not have deserved going down, but Canucks aren't playing 'big' right now and that needed to be addressed. IF a player is not playing well is you tell them what the problems are and give them a heads up. Loves the coaching in Manitoba as he's comfortable with them and knows they are good at addressing a player's defencies. He tries to be honest and straightforward.

I listened. Good summary

And good to hear Rypien's comin up asap (sounds like a sure thing)

Your summary would be a good topic starter!

Ya, I made a topic of it in the main forum.

Wow.

MacIntyre has Ed Belfour-esque stickhandling.

Moose SCORE!

Heshka jumps in with a beautiful setup from Classen.

4-2, and no, they weren't.

Turkey makes you sleep, but who knew it could heal? Certainly not young Alex Edler who returned from Thanksgiving weekend with a surprisingly pain-free hip.

Listed as week-to-week just a few days ago, Edler hit the ice Tuesday morning with the rest of his teammates for drills after a having his pelvis re-aligned.

“The pain was coming from muscle flipping over the bone because my pelvis wasn’t even, but it's not doing that anymore,” said Edler. “Hopefully it’s going to stay this way.”

Elder, who suffered through the same hip pain five years ago and sought relief from a chiropractor, could be game ready as early as the weekend.

Lets see what Grabner and Bourdon can do tonight

Well Grabner managed to finish up -2 with just 1 shot on net, not exactly dynamic...

Bourdon played with some fire, that's nice to see.


Edler... He's got such poise, I have very high hopes for him. It's easy to see some similarities between his and Lidstrom's games. Don't misunderstand, not comparing them by any stretch of the imagination, but he's got that same calm "nothing will rattle him" demeanor out there. Very rare in players at all, let alone in a young defenseman.
