Recalled/Assigned: Teuvo Time!

[bwana63]

TT looked good last night. And probably should have had a couple of points if it was anyone else then Shaw with that open net.

Yes & yes. He wasn't a non-entity this time. Good jump, good vision, very good passing. Best game, by far. Encouraging. Looks like he really doesn't want to go back to Rockford (can't say that I blame him ;-).

True but also looks like he can get knocked off the puck by blowing on him.... and it is worrisome.

I must say i'm quite imperessed how much he have already adapted his game to the smaller rink during his time in icehogs. Looks way quicker adaptation than for granlund for example. He doesn't have as bad speed issues as i thought.

He was ultra light weight even in bigger rinks in finnish elite league but the decision making was already so quick it seems like he can get pass it somehow.
The time he will turn 23-25, has added some mass and got the experience the guy is gonna be a monster i'll tell you that.

He will get stronger and bigger and also learn how to avoid/absorb hits better as he gets more experience. That doesn't worry me too much, just needs time.

I'd send TT back down.

The way these guys are playing he's only learning how to give a half-ass effort.

Id send him back down too. I like him, but he doesn't look ready. His game with out the puck doesn't look there yet.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

He had a nice defensive play in the third period that I saw. Didn't watch a ton tho, so don't know how he played tonight.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I think TT has looked just fine.

If he is going to be of any use to the Hawks in the playoffs he needs time to figure out what it's like to play with the big club and develop some kind of chemistry with them, even if he isn't quite ready or mistake-free. I see no reason to send him down with Versteeg injured and Carcillo suspended at present.

Why he didn't get any PP time this game is beyond me. He should be given every opportunity on our team to show his talent. That's one thing Savard always did with Kane.
