HC JURvan POnteva -- Kausi 2011 alkutunnelmat

Checking the stats today makes me happy: Marian Hossa leader in Points and Goals, Henrik Sedin in Assists, and goalie Brent Johnson in number of Wins.

Brent is a late acquisition from last week, doing well this far. Other goalies have been a bit more on the disappointment: Steven Mason seems to be losing another year after the stellar rookie year, sophomore season was a great disappointment and this year looks no better. Brian Elliot is still a bit question mark, managed to ruin my goalie stats for this week after replaced by backup goalie when stopped only 17 from 22 shots, giving a GAA of almost 10.

From the bad news side, although the JPs defence department is of good JP quality: Zidlicky, Kaberle, Pronger, and Rafalski, only Kaberle has been off the DTD: Rafalski even should be in IR, but since Detroit has no roster issues they are just not putting him there leaving all the fantasy owner really dry. And what is really disappointing this far is: Pronger has only 2 minutes in penalty column, a thing expected to change any day now.
