Your prospect Pontus Åberg is being paired up with Gabriel Landeskog in Djurgården today. They were paired up during the last game when a couple of injuries occured and Åberg seemed to get a boost by it.
Åberg started the season slow and was quite a disappointment but has now scored three games in a row.
Edit: And btw, Chet Pickard is doing OK for us. Haha.
OK is a start, I will be happy when I hear 'He's doing great!'
Said that Firefox or Chrome was recommended for the stream so I tried using those and they didn't work. They also had a big slash through the IE symbol so I didn't even think about using IE until the 3rd period when I was frustrated that Firefox and Chrome weren't working, so I ended up only catching the last 15 or so minutes of the game.
I wouldn't be too worried. He's a rookie, and a defensive specialist. He does have some underrated offensive ability, like we saw from him at the Memorial Cup, but he's gotta pay his dues first. Plus with the lockout, alot of decent prospects around the league are getting their icetime cut short with reinforcements coming from the big clubs.
Watson is a rookie playing with two experienced AHL guys in Henderson & MVG. His size and youth should help those two guys (almost 26 and 28) play better.
Cehlin moved up to the second line after Bang took an elbow late in the first period. Cehlin and Ryan Ellis are the smallest guys of the 24 on the roster at 5'11" and 176 and 5'10", 175. Milwaukee has a big team this season, 15 guys at 200 lbs or more.
According to Jon Blum's twitter, Jeff Foss is done for the season.
Yeah, Foss tore up his knee during the preseason. He is done for the year. Hurts the Ads depth a little, but with the lockout in effect Aronson and Roussel are down in Cincinnati awaiting their chance to move up and also Ellis is expected back at some point from his wrist injury as well.

Also the Ads were at 8 D-men so it's not that big a loss. Play with 7, Bartley-Blum, Ekholm-Moore, Valentine-Jarvinen, Bietto till Ellis comes back
