Bob Duff: Nyquist reunited with Zetterberg and Mantha Top Detroit forward line put back together as Nyquist returns from NHL suspension.

Blashill says, referring to Nyquist " When he doesn’t move his feet from the tops of circles to the top of circles he’s not quite as effective".....friggin Brilliant !
Blashill also thinks the wings could have been better ......Dah! Outshot 28-12 in the first two periods......Ya think Sherlock !
This guy couldn't motivate a fish to swim, never mind a hockey team to win. Then there's Callahan who was scratched last night after a picosecond of ice time the night before. Let's call him up from GR to be a bench warmer, so we can totally destroy his confidence. Blashill is a JOKE......tic tock tick tock.....your time behind the Detroit bench is on the clock. I wonder if Badcock would like Blashill as an assistant in Toronto....I think NOT.

Russo has been called up. Now we need svechnikov and we can see what we have.

Russo.

It's about freakin' time Russo finally got called up... good grief. He should have gotten a call-up last season just to see what he can do. He's probably the best offensive defenseman the Griffins have had in about 5 years I'd say. He has multi-point nights on a regular basis down here which is impressive for a defenseman. He's 24 years-old. Now is the time to see what he can do.

He's got 31 points in 56 games so far this year and +14. So he's on a better pace than last season. He's only going to get better. Last season he was 39 points in 71 games with an astounding +40 (that was the best in the AHL if I remember right).
