What do you all think. Is Wennberg a keeper with the big club all season. Or is he gonna get sent down when/if Jenner and Horton comes back. I certainly think so!

If he earns the spot he can stay. He looked good, but not as good as Rimer was over exaggerating when he gushed about the play he made a blind pass on a 2 on 1 that was blocked by the defenders stick, but apparently to Rimer the turn over was the Stanley Cup winning goal.

When Jenner and Dubi come back we have some real tough decisions to make if Wennberg and Dano keep playing like that. Its a good problem to have, but we'll see what happens.
I know why you, and others, would say this, but it is really easy for me. You absolutely keep Dano and Wennberg if they continue to play close to the way they played last night.

See, there's homerism, and then there's just flat out stupidity! Its the thing that always killed me with Davidge.......he came from radio where he had to describe things that the listener couldnt see and dressed it up for excitement. Then he came to tv and tried to do the same thing, although the difference is we actually saw what happened, and many times it wasnt what he described
no doubt I agree, but who goes out? Everyone played well last night, and its easy to say put guys like Skille and Boll out of the lineup, but if the team is meshing, then the team is meshing.
But only if they can get adequate minutes.
Skille certainly has 15-20 goal potential in my eyes, if properly utilized; but it will be damn near impossible to achieve with a small amount of ice time.but I did see something that looks repeatable on Skille's goal. That few seconds of hockey was why Chicago drafted his so high in the first place- now he just needs to do that about 25 more times this year.
If Jenner and Dubi come back and we don't have anymore injuries, then the most straightforward thing is to send Dano down and scratch Boller.

Wennberg had a tough game today, but he was playing against a good team and wasn't getting ANY shelter in his minutes. Considering it was his second game and he saw 16 minutes of ice time in all situations, I thought he did ok. I certainly didn't notice any of the rookies as being "the rookies."
I think he needs to score a goal and get some confidence.
at least thru 2nd period i believe he had the most TOI ...he's making a mark...
