Somebody might want to have a doctor on standby, just in case @OgeeOgelthorpe surpasses that 4 hour mark.

 

[ricky0034]

interesting how he went from talking about wanting to stay in Sweden until the summer to finish high school and talking about the upcoming World Championship to this in the space of a day or so

 

[izlez]

Great news

 

[Pavels Dog]

Hopefully he'll play with the Wings.

 

[NickH8]

Suddenly I'm upset I can't make any Griffins games the rest of the year.

 

[Larkin2AA]

 

[NickH8]

Half the team is injured. May as well give him his cup of coffee.

 

[newfy]

Doesnt sound like its confirmed hes going to GR. His quote says he doesnt know if hes going to be with the wings or griffins

 

[RedWingzz]

Unreal...

Would love to see him play a handful of games in Detroit too because why not...?

Yeah, think he plays the 8 remaining AHL-games, and then goes back to Sweden and World Championships.

It's 45 days until the WHC will begin.

 

[Shaman464]

Would rather see him in the AHL learning how to play the NA game than to be on the Wings as the team losses out the rest of the season.

 

[Hen Kolland]

They just called up Taco…either Mazur or Kasper should end up in Detroit for a stint.

That is, unless people get healthy in short order. But with Zadina out, Fabbri and Ras done, Chiasson out, and starting people like Erne, Veleno on the top line, Suter in the top 6, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to find meaningful ice time for the young bucks

Taro?

Taro?

The team calls him Taco.

The Griffins are going to lose for the rest of the season too.

I’d rather Kasper plays in the bigs with Larkin, Raymond and the gang.

 

[Henkka]

Quite sure all three (Kasper, Wallinder, Mazur) will stay at GR.

It's so short stint for 3 weeks that you should not mess too much about two organizations.

Exactly. So leave GR out of it.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Excellent. I am fine with either place to be honest

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

After the game tonight, we are left with 9 to go. He could be up with the big club the rest of the way and the ELC still slides.

Hope this is the plan, he is ready to get his feet wet with the big boys.

Why wait? You don't want a 5-4 loss tonight with a Kasper hat trick?

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

I know you kid, but sure I do. I don't know Kasper's itinerary, i am thinking he probably isnt stateside yet, so my guess is he won't be available tonight.

But if one of the beat reporters wants to tweet out he is at the morning skate, I would be pleased.

You underestimate his power. The hat trick will happen with him still in Sweden. #FillTheNetsLongDistance

 

[Hen Kolland]

There's an outside chance that he's in Detroit, but I wonder if they would rather send him to GR with Wallinder as like a little bit of familiarity and comfort. Plus start letting Kasper and Mazur start trying to eclipse each other's levels of junkyard dog-ism.

I could see Kasper and Mazur doing well on a line together in GR, and if so I would just let them play that role the rest of the way.
