Wow, how did you get a hold of the guy? On Twitter? In person? Makes no sense to have him at C though. Why not just leave JS there?

Interesting that Schroeder had 0 points in a 6-3 game, really hope he starts breaking out soon. Great game by K-Conn!

Funny to see that Parent returns to the lineup and is +4. wink.gif

Even though JS might not be putting up the points frequently, he still seems to be quite involved in the plays. Looks like he is still adjusting to the size of the league from what I can tell when he goes into the corners, which by the way is good to see him going to the rough areas without hesitation. In the last game he split the defenders for a breakaway only to be hauled down before he could get a shot. My guess is that it won't be too long before he finds his groove again and starts clicking.

Don't know if people have been posting the older ones, but NucksMisconduct has added a Wolves blogger to their site who's been doing weekly updates. Here's the latest:

...

On Tuesday the Wolves played a 9AM game in front of 125 bus loads of schoolchildren against the Bulldogs in Hamilton. It was obvious from the start of the game that they were playing with more energy than usual, the shot totals weren’t even close after the first period (17-5 Wolves) and with a pair of goals from Tim Miller, the Wolves ended the 1st period with a 2-0 lead. Hamilton’s coffee kicked in during the 2nd and 3rd periods and the game was played a bit more competitively but Bill Sweatt and Darren Haydar tacked on two more goals for a 4-1 win. Darren Haydar, playing near his hometown, had a 4 point game and Matt Climie turned aside 26 of the 27 shots he saw.

Saturday night the Wolves played in Milwaukee and scored more in one game than they had all season, but in my eyes the game wasn’t as much of a blowout as the scoreboard showed, it was 4-3 wolves in the 3rd and the Admirals pulled their goalie and wound up allowing two empty netters to make it 6-3. Kevin Connauton was the offensive standout in this game, scoring two goals and showing that he’s not afraid to jump into plays in the offensive zone. Matt Climie got the start again and saved 34-37 shots.

As far as Eddie Lack not playing this week, I think MacTavish is just riding the hot hand, Climie’s on a 3 game win streak and has the 2nd best save percentage in the AHL.
