Gracias, looks good.

That was quite lazy reporting from TSN considering they are based out of Toronto where the HoF is.


Abdelkader helps promote reading to kids.

Nosek called up on emergency basis.

He has 40 points in 49 games with GRG this season.

http://kuklaskorner.com/tmr/comments/here-comes-nosek-again


Saw Nosek play in a few preseason games and his skating needed ridiculous amount of work. It looked like he was playing the game in quicksand while everyone playing on ice.

The secret of Zetterberg's "resurgence" is dumping his anchor named Justin Abdelkader.

This season Abdelkader accounts for less than 15% of Zetterberg's even strength time. Most of which was spent in the first part of the season. Per leftwinglock, sadly can't find numbers from previous season but would be closer to 50%.

Abdelkader has been weighting down the production of Zetterberg and Datsyuk since the shortened lockout season, ie. since Babcock started playing him above his skill level.

Zetterberg has been making Nyquist/Tatar/Mantha look great the second half of the season and been carrying the team offensively.
