Rumour is Albert is in and Tangradi scratched.
Thorburn on 2nd line.
These decisions don't seem competent IMO but I'm just a regular dude.
This team is turning into a real **** show!

While I am on the same page, I am not surprised in the slightest.
...and of course the Jets will somehow pull a win out of their ass so Noel can say "I told you so."

A couple of people have mentioned Jaffray, which I completely disagree with. He just doesn't have the speed to be effective at the NHL level. He would play the role of grinder up here, but he isn't fast enough to be effective on the fore check so he really has no use in the line up.
Kind of the problem with O'Dell too.
I spotted Thorbs playing on the second line after Kane's injury. It makes sense. After all, I've always thought that Thorbs would finally blossom when moved to his off-wing. He's sort of like Hedberg or an early version of Ovechkin.
Maybe this is Noel's way of taking a dig at Chevy and all of his critics. "You expect me to win with this crappy sort of line-up depth?"
That's what I figured, but my viewing of him is limited. But when I have seen him play, he appears to be too slow for the NHL game.
Jaffray's actually a good comparable for O'Dell in terms of people Winnipeg knows. Jaffray's more physical though, O'Dell has better hands, both are just not good enough for top 6, not greasy enough to last bottom 6. O'Dell is younger and potentially on the upswing too.
Just so I have this straight:
-We have a physical, scoring LW go down with an injury
-We also have a marked deficiency at the centre position
-That deficiency has forced a regular LW to play centre (although surprisingly well)
Our AHL team has the following players:
-A point-a-game centreman with good possession statistics (O'Dell) who leads the team in scoring for the second consecutive year.
-A very physical LW turned centre (Lowry) who was a top scorer in Junior last year (as a LW)
-A veteran LW (Jaffray), who happens to be third on the team in scoring
-What position does the team's second leading scorer play, you ask? That would also be LW (Mouillierat).
So who do we call up?
A centreman with more PM than points (although I will admit this is one of Kane's strengths too) who is the seventh leading scorer.
I have no words to describe how I feel right now

Lowry has been a little disappointing this year since his injury and hardly earned a call up
Jaffrey im sure is on a AHL contract as is Mouillierat,same reason Sampson anit called up who in my mind would be the best fit,but he too is on a AHL deal
Albert kills pims and plays on a energy line,his role is not scoring
Did someone say something? 3:51 seconds in the NHL and the little hard working digger got one! well done Johny from all your fans on the Rock!
