One of the big things I like about Ward is that he seems aware of that 40 game wall. Doesn't panic, like most fans, when the players hit that slump.
Plus, I think Hanowski still being up has to do with his ability, but also going on a long east coast road trip better to have more bodies just in case. He'll probably be reassigned as soon as they touch down in Calgary after this trip.
