It'll be Ortio vs Muse in net tonight
I'll apologize in advance - I'm only half awake due to staying up watching both Slovakia/Slovenia and USA/Russia this morning. I'm punch drunk.

Highlights from Ward's interview:
* He was not on the 20hr bus ride. Got a direct flight by waiting it out
* Says the boys came off the bus enthusiastic, ready to play. Did not see any ill effects on mood from the ride. Boys handled themselves very well in his opinion.
* No after effects of Stars loss are expected. They all know they deserved to lose, they played like they deserved to lose and they have accepted the loss and will move from that. This is not something that ruined the great homestand, this was reality smacking them.
* Joked how the boys may think it's a home game with such a small attendance expected from the storm and being away from the Checker's regular arena. Could be an advantage.

So Granlund is having a nice little rookie season. Gawd I hope he gets some NHL time this season.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Granlund is the most fun player to watch that has ever put on a Heat uniform. Paul Bryon's close, but Granlund's niftiness with the puck is something else.

Bus legs? What bus legs?
Careful boys, Ward might start mandating these long bus trips.
