yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
great news.
So pumped...I know for now he isn't here to stay, but it will still be great to see what he can do. Tatar scored in his first game, so I expect Jurco to as well.
Hopefully he isn't on the 4th line. I know this would never happen, but Jurco-Datsyuk-Tatar would be the dangliest line in NHL history.

Me too, however we still have too many forwards, so this is just a short term thing. I hope he plays well though, and forces the Wings to keep him next season. I am sick of waiting until our prospects are 25 to make thee NHL. As the years go by, it's becoming a younger and younger league, so why not play the kids?

Hoping to see
Nyquist-Pav-Alfie
Tats-Mule-Jurky
Miller-Andy-Eaves
Cleary-Glen-Bert (should bench bert and use sheahan, ferraro, or callahan)
But we all know Jurky will never get top 6 minutes. they'll put him with plugs so that when he doesn't produce any points they can say he's not ready and send him back down....

That's what I think will most likely happen unfortunately.
Though I do remember when Leino was around they put him in the top 9 for his first or second recall and he ended up getting some power play time as the net-front guy too.
And a couple years ago didn't Nyquist get to play with Pav and Bert for his first recall? Of course he eventually ended up on the fourth line with Andersson and Miller but for some reason I remember Nyquist got to start out in the top six.
I feel like sometimes to start out the brass will try put a call up prospect in the best possible situation for success and try to help him build his confidence. After that year is over, however, then they'll nail them down on the 4th line or the minors until they writhe and wiggle their way out of it. It supposedly builds character.

He's a point per game player in the AHL at 21 years old. Get high on him. Go to youtube. Type his name in, and enjoy. I remember his draft perfectly, slipped to round 2, and I woke up the next morning and had like 10 texts from friends saying that Detroit took him, because all I talked about leading up to the draft was Jurco.
He's not even 21 years old yet, I'm sure he will be fine, and have more than enough energy seeing as how its his first career game.

The Hossa comparison on his draft day was EXTREMELY unfair. Especially for Red Wings fans who've seen Hossa up close. I think that image is a little hard for some fans to get out of their minds.

Good to see, but we shouldn't expect the moon. Everybody's first game is a bit overwhelming. He'll probably play on the 4th line, and that's just fine.
Ya well they're both Slovakian, so it's easy to compare. But Hossa has proven himself as a point producing player, who's reliable in both ends of the rink, has good hands, and a very good shot. I know it's not really fair to put these types of expectations on Jurco, but he still does remind me of Hossa a bit. I don't get to watch too many Griffins games, so I haven't had enough of a sample size to really compare the 2, but there definitely are some similarities.

Who compared him to Hossa? He doesn't play the 200 foot game Hossa plays but in time Jurco has the offensive talent to have similar production as Hossa imo.

Just a strange feeling we'll see this:
Bert-Pav-Alfie
Tats-Mule-Gus
Jurky-Andy-Eaves
Miller-Glen-Cleary

No that's dumb. If they are gonna play him on the 4th line then call up ferraro, sheahan, or callahan instead. jurco is worthless on the 4th line.

Looks good to me. I really hope it's not Cleary who gets the promotion because of Abby going down. Although, if he does get it, I hope it means Jurco/Tatar on the third line. That'd be pretty killer.
