Bjorkstrand participated in the jerseys off their backs tonight and didn't look too bad. You'd think if he were concussed, he would not have been there for that. Here's hoping he's back soon.

Here's to hoping for a offensive burst.


Milano-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand...so much speed and skill. Both Wennberg and Milano are over 6ft and 200lbs as well

Am impact player the Jackets need for the playoffs.

That ahl seasoning did him wonders this season.

Bjorkstrand is Danish and has no idea what you're talking about.

Danish and Danish...
He actually coming from a mixed marriage, half Danish and Half American, and the Bjørkstrand was original a Norwegian name. O well the spelling I made was the original spelling of the name, before Todd's (Oliver's father) family immigrated to the USA.

When Todd moved to Denmark, was Bjorkstrand now an American name or a Norwegian name or is it really and Icelandic name?

One thing we all shall have in our mind, is that the one place Bjork is a widely used name is Iceland, and they are pronunciation it much more like you Americans do, to my understanding.
I think the important thing here is how the family pronunciation it!

One other thing you will have to realize, is languages is forever changing. Languages is changing that is part of reality...

If Bjorkstrand doesn't produce, then I think the CBJs chances are severely compromised.

Gagner and Hartnell have been horrible for a long time. Someone has to pick up the slack. It's a tall order for a rookie.

I agree, we need our vets to step up, but if we don't have our rookies producing or at the very least not playing like rookies.

Played under 10 minutes tonight. Was benched for most of the third.. played just three shifts.

I’ve been sorely disappointed in Bjork so far. Just hasn’t been the same player we saw at the end of last season. Not sure what’s going on. At one point tonight he was floating on the fourth line.

Anyone else concerned? I know, it’s only 4 games in but still.. he’s been about as non of a threat as one can be.

Not to be a contrarian, but I have yet to see in the NHL this game that Bjork is supposed to have. He's been so easy to knock off the puck, he's not that fast it seems, I just don't buy that he's a top 6 forward...yet. I don't think he's an NHL player just yet.

Yeah I am disappointed. However he was bad in camp this year, and last year too. Maybe he's just a slow starter

He was doing pretty well last year before he got boarded. I haven't seen much from him yet this year.

IMO it's like Milano is doing what we thought Bjork would do...

And Bjorkstrand is doing what we thought Milano would do! :huh:
