Morin received a very questionable hit to the head in the first period that went uncalled. He returned during the period, but he's not on the bench in the 2nd.

Texas is down to 11 forwards.

Cue the Austin Smith call up

Sounds like the team is playing extremely well, Campbell included.

Do you think we should send a sympathy card to Willie?

[FrailSwan]

Fraser!!! 4-0. Great game.

[MetalGodAOD]

Sceviour with another point. Man I really hope he makes the team.

[FrailSwan]

Wow Sceviour's stats are almost identical to Eakin's.

[FrailSwan]

# Player GP G A PTS +/- PIM PP SHG SOG SH%
20 Cody Eakin 32 10 12 22 7 14 3 2 78 12.8

7 Colton Sceviour 27 10 9 19 7 2 2 2 79 12.7

For a 3rd line center and a fringe 4th liner, those two sure are putting up some points.

[FrailSwan]

0 shots for this mug. And only 8 total in 15 GP.

8 shots?

Worst pick ever.

It's sooooo painful.

[FrailSwan]

And here they come. 4-2

[Alistar]

Texas starting to let this one get away from them. Got to pick up the effort and close this one out.

[MetalGodAOD]

Fraser ENG, 5-2. Great win!

[Alistar]

Hopefully they can finish off the Granlund-less Aeros tomorrow night and go 3 for 3 on the weekend.

Expect this team to really take over the division if the lockout ends... The other teams are much more dependant on players that will be called up when the date comes.

[FrailSwan]

So the only D man with no points was Labrie. I'd say this was a pretty successful game.

[beardedgraf]

Are Glennie's issues mostly work ethic related or is he just not that great of a player?

[LatvianTwist]

Both. He's just a terrible hockey player on and off the ice.

I got to say I'm getting a bit sick of this load of crap.

[BigG44]

Final question of the day/night/morning ... and what a glorious 24 hours it's been ... GOLD for the USA ... and CBA for the NHL.

Anyway ... knowing that Morin could potentially miss the game because of injury and Wathier is still hurt, Texas has no extra forwards right now.

Does Cody Eakin, Tomas Vincour, and Brenden Dillon play tomorrow?

Seems a bit risky. Eakin is borderline written in ink as the 3rd line center. He's already dealing with some facial injury. Vincour is coming off a concussion.

Worth risking these guys in injury in an AHL game even if you leave the team short handed on the 3rd night of games in 3 days?

[LatvianTwist]

Success of the Baby Stars shouldn't matter much IMO. Sit them out. One game isn't worth the risk.

Agreed ... not confident it happens though.

[Primetimey]

At least we will be able to beat the Barons now. Woot woot

Ain't that the true truth.
