Luckily guys like Jurco and Sheahan are up with the Red Wings ... and the Jarnkrok trade didn't help the Griffins either, of course. While Pulkkinen, Emmerton and Callahan are pretty good, I'm more impressed by their blueline - Sproul, Ouellet, Almquist and Marchenko have all been impressive in their rookie/sophomore campaigns and they have some nice veteran leadership there with Paetsch and Evans. Plus they got Backman over from Sweden recently ... plus great goaltending obviously.
Gonna be a tough one for the Heat ... better make those two home games count. 3-1 Heat.
