If he keeps turning the puck over leading to goals, he wont stay for long.
Sweet pass on the primary assist though, that takes some special vision.
His brother is quite the player though. Amazing shootout goal.
For sure. The coach was pretty positive about Markus after the game, so there is some level of tolerance for rookie mistakes.
On Mikael, he may be a bit overrated as a prospect, but if things keep going like this, one has to wonder if he wouldn't be much better off being challenged in NA. He has school and military service, of course. Can't be bad for Markus to get the minutes.
Ferland had 3 goals and 1 assist.
Bartschi had one assist.
Wotherspoon had one assist in his first game of the year
Elson had one assist.
Brossoit - made 22 saves on 23 shots in a 3-1 win.

Heat win season opener 2-1 in Lake Erie: Dustin Sylvester and Greg Nemisz with goals.
Utah beats Idaho 4-2. C.J. Severyn had a goal and a helper, and Bryan Cameron had an assist.
I think I saw Portland was shut out by TriCities last night. How has Sven looked so far this year?
He had lots of chances last night, rung one off the bar, and one close one off the side of the net. He sounds good out there, but he seems to take a lot of stick penalties.

Speaking of Howse and Ferland, who has the better chance of making the NHL (and having success there)? Of course on the surface, and maybe beneath it, I'd say Howse because he appears to be the more skilled player, but Howse seems to be more one-dimensional, while Ferland may bring other things to the table. Ferland can maybe be an effective player even if he doesn't score.

If Howse can get his conditioning down pat, he could very well become a top line winger in the NHL, however he's a real boom and bust prospect. As such, I'd have to say the Ferland has a great chance of making the NHL and sticking, but Howse will make a bigger impact if he makes it.

I like Ferland more than Howse, he's able to fight and it looks like he can score but I remember at one time JD Watt led the WHL in scoring and he's now down in the ECHL.
