Assist and a nice GW shootout goal for Eller. And so far an assist for Bødker. Not a bad night...
Not to forget, Ehlers also got an assist.
So a really good night

Looks like another great night. Two periods in and already a hattrick for Nikolaj Ehlers!
Some time ago I wrote this. Seemed it took until January to have him flare up again!About Ehlers I think he should stay on the Winnipeg roster and learn. He has the talent he just needs the confidence. He is not even close to a "Niederreiter year" (1G 0A in 55 games in 2011-12) and he still turned out a good season last year - so I'm sure Ehlers will bounce back eventually.
He probably just have "mental fatigue", because of all the tension up to debuting in the NHL.
He could likely get a new boost either in December and January......
Ehlers won his first fight last night...bench went craaaazy.
Im not in general a very big fan of hockey fights in hockey, but that must really help with earning the respect of his team mates.
Yeah weird - one should think that playing well and working hard for the team would do that trick, but fighting surely is massively valued in NHL.

I think that when you enter a "playing field" you are bound to act accordingly to the rules and show self control and discipline.
I find fighting in a "playing field" essentially goon-like and on the same level as politicians, who physically assault other members of parliament if another party member say something they don't like. A Parliament is also a verbal "playing field" with rules.
It degrades them in my eyes into those unpredictable individuals who cannot control their own emotions.
Funny enough South Korea that normally have very self controlled lives seems to totally lose it when it comes to politics.

I think most Danish people at least would be horrified to see politicians physically assault each other (the last one was off course extreme also for Japanese people).
That referees accepts this behavior in ice hockey is really weird, when you yourself have tried multiple sport cultures. If you started punching or hitting other players in field hockey (where you also have a lethal stick in your hand and almost no safety equipment) you would probably face a lifetime ban.
Some sports have honour codes based on self control. NHL have an honour code based on fighting the opponents and to make retaliation attacks against those that harmed on from our team (even if they did do it legally within the rules!).
I know that professional physical sports sometimes have a higher degree of acceptance towards fighting than amateur non-physical sports, but the bottom-line is that the more dangerous sport tools you carry around (like wooden clubs and razor sharp skates) the more the safety need to really make sure those playing have absolute control over themselves.
Acceptance of fighting is a cultural element, that can easily appear if sanctioned and also easily be removed if they are strictly enforced against. Humans are adaptable.

Come on, have you never played a team sport??
Sticking up for your teammates, even if that means getting your ass kicked getting humiliated etc., is essential to any teamsport. Teamspirit is what makes teams great or bad. It is what holds them together when everything else fails and what can bring mediocre players to stardom. Just look at Euro92 as a prime example of what teamspirit can bring you.

Freddy seems to be getting back in form, and seems to have a shot at getting his net back, at least temporary after Gibson is beginning to stumble.
Another 2 goals for Hansen. He is now 5th in the league in combined even strength and shorthanded goals. If he could ever figure out this power play thing, he'd be a superstar in this league.
Jannik Hansen's like a dancefloor after 2 AM... All grind and score. No finesse
Would be the first Danish player to hit 30 goals right? Or did Frans do it a couple of years back?
30 seems out of reach. Would require an incredible goalscoring pace the rest of the regular season.
Frans' best season goalscoring-wise is 25 goals in 2013-14. Bødker's best total is 19, also in 2013-14... At this pace Jannik could top Frans' Danish goalscoring mark.
Frans is at 16 goals this season, Bødker and Ehlers are at 13...
Arizona has withdrawn their contract offer to Bødker. So, barring a major U-turn, Bødker will be playing for a different team no later than next season. In fact, it would surprise me if he isn't traded before the deadline. This could be a major boost to his career. This season feels like a waste - basically having to wait patiently for this season to be over so he can become an UFA.
