It also is TV on FSD too. We get a peak at the top pick for us Rasmussen on #1 line.

Meanwhile crickets on the AA front. If AA walks, I'm totally on the fire Holland bandwagon. And, as you guys know, I've been one of his biggest supporters. It's not like the line up is loaded with Yzermans and
Federovs and some kid is being a bleephole and we let him walk. We NEED these kids for our future. Or at least to put butts in seat in the new barn during the rebuild. AA is exciting to watch. He's probably brought me out of my seat more than any other player since Datsyuk left. With Sheahan I only leave my seat to walk to my office to check how many months it has been since he last scored a goal.

my impressions of some...
Rasmussen is faster than some said he was. He won't make the team this year but we will see him soon, just don't send him to his junior team, i think he can learn faster by playing in GR.
Cholowski is my number one. This guy will crack the line very soon too, could be next year. He's got great confidence, he can control the puck and is good on the PP. Except one bad play in the early moments of the third he was great.
Howard look like the real deal..but don't tell him !
Sproul is out ! Terrible on D, i probably could go around him on boots !
Hicketts will crack the Wings line-up, we might even see him this season if injuries. In my book he is ahead of Russo, but Russo,s been here before Hicketts so..we all know how the brass works. To me Russo is a marginal player, barely good enough for number 6th D
Witkowsky ? ...humm...other than to run players on the board what is he good for ? Maybe protecting the small players...maybe.
Sadowy....fast and that's it.
Holmstrom....how dare you have that name ?? i don't see anything good from this player so far. I got a feeling he will beg to go back to Sweden, like these Europeans do when they feel they don't have a chance to play in the NHL.
Overall fun game to Watch and the puck wasnt bouncing around as much as the first game home..
