2013/14 General Heat Discussion Thread

[Crumpy-Gunt]

I will be watching the Heat closely for the first time. Very excited to see how the prospects develop. Want to see Sieloff, Granlund, Ramage, Wotherspoon, Ferland, Knight, Berra, Cundari and a couple of the other guys I am interested in seeing the development of.

[DOOM]

Any update on Granlund?

Is he almost ready to play?

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Granlund is still a week away from playing in a game. He was practicing this morning though.

Ferland is good to go for tomorrow night. He punched the guy's helmet, so it was precautionary.

I'd like to throw out a special thanks to you Pierre, we have our own reporter giving us some of the inside info.

[A Shot Wide]

Going to the Heat home opener tomorrow night, will let everyone know how the game went and who stood out.

Gonna keep my eyes on Wotherspoon, Sieloff, Ramage, Berra, Hanowski, Knight, Ferland and Granlund if they're playing. Any other suggestions?

[SeanCharles]

Reinhart, Cundari, Horak

Mike (PMM) is a great fellow.

Seems like it. Best Heat source I can find too. The team is lucky to have him (as are we)

[TheDebaser]

He is definitely turtley enough for this turtle club.

Heat win 3-2 in OT

Nemisz with the game winning goal. Hanowski and Elston with the others. Knight with a pair of assists.

3 Stars:

1. ABB - 28 Ben Hanowski
2. MIL - 45 Magnus Hellberg
3. ABB - 13 Turner Elson

Heard that Hellberg played a heck of a game and robbed Horak who had an empty net and time to put it in.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

The highlights should be up soon. You guys need to check out the hustle on Elson's goal. After the game, Ward said it was the turning point. Elson scored that with 4 seconds left in the second period and when they came out in the third, they looked like they had a new life.

Also check out Hanowski's snipe.

And Jooris is a wild man out there, but in a good way. He's balls to the wall on every shift.

Seriously, check out Elson's goal.

Was Sieloff scratched or injured?

"Nicked up" according to Ward. It'll be short term. Lower body.

[Vinny01]

Hanowski is great in the ahl so far

This highlights package is better. Multiple replay angles.



I still can't figure out how Knight scored from that angle. Nice shot.

Nemisz and Breen's high-five at the end is pretty funny.

I thought Nemisz got the goal.

According to the game sheet Nemisz scored the goal assisted by Knight. Still a nice play to get it to him though, if that's the case.

Edit: beat by Vulcan

[GettinIggyWithIt]

Yeah I think flames.com credited Knight with that goal in their article but it looked to me like Nemisz redirected the pass in front.

A part of me would still like to see Nemisz get called up for a short stint with the Flames. I'd like to see him get one more shot on the 3rd or 4th line to see if he can still turn into an NHL player...although that window of opportunity with the Flames seems to have gotten very, very tiny for him.
