Is this warm-ups or is he actually getting ice-time?
And to think we could have had that stud leading Coyle and Granlund down in Houston. Damn you, Fletch!
BTW, he got 1 assist tonight. He has 5 points in 6 games.

Is it just me or is he starting to go for the Burnsie appearance?
He didn't really do anything.What did he do to you Wild fans? Other than not living up to the hype lol
He didn't really do anything.
Just from the days of DR, they hyped him as the center for Gabborik and Demitra as a 19-year old.
Turns out, it was just another 19-old. Not good enough for the top-6. Not defensive or good at draws enough for the 3rd line. So he wasted away on the 4th line. He got some time on the 3rd when there was injuries, but didn't do anything.
Toss in that Thelen, Pouliot, and Gillies were also busts, and any Wild 1st round draft pick from that era gets some hate.
But on top of that he had the attitude that he didn't need to do anything more while he was here. I think that's what really sells him as the punching bag.
He's trying to hide the dumbfounded look he always has on his face by using facial hair is all.
I predict that James Sheppard will be the best scorer in the NHL (season 2012-2013, shared title).
