Sunday Links: Anything but a blown 2 goal lead edition

Hey, Prospect Dept (and everyone else), what’re your thoughts on the latest rankings from the ISS.

Landeskog, Musil, Ambroz and Jurco have been on our radar at the Game Time Prospect Department for some time. It’s pretty well-known that your GTPD digs Euros who have come over and committed to play major junior — though the Blues have yet to avail themselves of one of these players — and Landeskog and Jurco both fall into that category. Both are high-profile scorers with good size.

Ambroz is another David Backes in the making.

Musil is the son of Franmtisek Musil, the old Oilers’ defenseman, and is Canadian-born but skates for the Czech Republic in international competition. We see him as probably the top d-man available right now.

With Jarmo Kekalainen and his “think-out-of-the-box” draft strategy no longer in play for the Blues, it remains to be seen if the club will go with conventional wisdom and select someone ranked in the range (10-20) where they’ll likely be picking. Of those players, as ranked by ISS, my favorites in order are Ambroz, Jurco, and Oshawa (OHL) center Boone Jenner.

is like a yenta yapping on a cellphone. They don’t say much.

Show me the lamp.

That was a bit disappointing last night. I mean, Conklin played out of his mind, but we still couldn’t pull it out. That kinda sucks. At least they are playing a high tempo game again though. It seems that we just need to put more pucks on the net.

In an unrelated note, could someone post the name of the dude that does the covers for NHL 11? I would really appreciate it since I just bought it. Thanks.

That was one of the main concerns before the season started. And, while we are creating the chances, it is one of the biggest concerns I still have.
Have enjoyed Jackman and Berglunds play though. Encouraging.

Has anyone noticed a change in Oshie lately?

He is still throwing his body around, but it seems like he is playing more awkwardly and always on the verge of being out of control.

He hasn’t seemed as comfortable as of late and it seems like he is playing slower.

Might just be me though.

Was that a song on the video? 15 seconds was all I could stand, my jaws hurt from clenching them.
A hard rock heavy metal gal I am not. Even as a kid it was noise.
It’s not just old age so get that out of you head, I know that’s what y’all were thinking.
