That is just asking way too much. We are dealing with reporters who have very obviously not been exposed to hockey for more than the past 4 years. </p>

No kidding... and they use it as a platform for celebrity instead of reporting.</p>

Part of it could also be that anyone we've slotted at #2C this year has been lukewarm at best, that a decent prospect getting a shot there would be a breath of fresh air.</p>

IMHO there's no real reason that Zeus should be iced over him for at least this game, so why not get a glimpse of what the kid can do. If he ends up being as invisible as Runblad has been, it's pretty much par for the course. If he does come out and make an impact, all the better, if he stinks up the joint we ship him to rockford and go back to Zeus. It's not like a game off would hurt Zeus in the long run.</p>

I'm not expecting him to score a goal on his first shift of the game, but I got the gut feeling he's not going to be any worse than Smith, Regin, Zeus, Kruger, or Piri was when slotted there.</p>

That's a good point I guess. I think the hype is as much about the kid as it is maybe finally solving the 2C position.... until Q introduces him to his daughters. Best case scenario, this move puts Zeus on the bench unless someone gets injured... worst case, they move him to wing.</p>
