Recalled/Assigned: Tomas Jurco

[Pavels Dog]

Think Jurco is just filling in for Tatar Thursday then going back down.

That's what I'm thinking but really it's pretty ridiculous to play Samuelsson over Jurco. He should stay up as long as possible.

I feel like this is a never-ending arguement. Went from Tats+Nyquist, now to Jurco/insert ____ d-man over Quincey..
Next year it'll be Mantha/Pulkk/Ironhook

@HeleneStJames 59s
#RedWings call up F Tomas Jurco for Thursday game at NY Rangers to offset absence of Tomas Tatar (attending father's funeral).

me too

I like the fact that he is getting plenty of playing time in Grand Rapids but also seeing fairly regular time in Detroit. but I must admit I was hoping Pulkkinen would get a shot, considering it is just one game. He really has earned it. he is playing great for the Griffins.

It feels like detroit has been playing their prospects more now than in previous years

Ouellet 3 games
Marchenko 1 game
Almquist 2 games
Jurco 7 games
Sheahan 6 games

And then I haven't counted Glendenings 21 games as he's a bit older.

Can't remember so many toung players getting a look during the 2007-2013 seasons...

Injuries are a powerful thing.

Injuries are a powerful thing.

Why did it have to be injuries to guys like Dekeyser, Ericsson, Franzen, Datsyuk, Helm?

Why are our worst players seemingly ironmen?

Seriously...Helm puts his underwear on backwards and he's out for a month...Clears could get run over by an 18 wheeler on his way down to the Joe and he still would play.

Sammy wouldn't be playing if we were healthy, but I don't think he should play even now. He's a scorer who doesn't score. It's a never ending argument because Holland hasn't solved this situation yet.

1) Roster isn't as good as before

2) Injuries

3) Strongest group of prospects we've had since Franzen/Filpulla/Hudler/Kronwall etc all came through in the early/mid 2000s

4) See 2)

On 3, this is honestly as deep and talented as I have seen the pool since the late 80's to early 90's time period.

Cleary would still probably be able to skate nearly as well as he used to if he allowed his injuries to heal instead of exacerbating them.

 

[Johnz96*]

Injuries are a powerful thing.

I think the Wings have been more susceptible to injuries because they are older and smaller than most teams but mostly because they dpn't have anybody to keep the flies off and other teams take advantage of that.

 

[Kronwalled55]

Hopefully this means no more Sammy. I was tired of the guy in 2009, let alone 2014.

Are some guys just aren't idiots and don't try to push an injury that can only heal with time and rest especially when they've recently been sidelined an entire season because they tried to come back too early from not letting their back fully heal. You know, using common sense and what's best for the team in the long run. Big picture.

Jurco-Sheahan-Tatar

Just what i was thinking.

Well balanced. Some size, lots of skill, good speed, and a good defensive center.

We will be seeing this again in the future.

All 3 have good speed, the only small guy on that line is fearless so its not like his size is a problem in any way.

 

[Frk It]

I know people have always compared Jurco to Hossa as a possible comparison when he's done developing.

I think a better comparison for Jurco is Jakub Voracek on the Flyers. That guy has been on a tear since last year. If Jurco could eventually become a player like that it would be huge for us.

I see similarities in size, speed, and play style. Both guys are big wingers who are great puck possession players.

Agree with this. Jurco doesn't have that extra gear at raw skating like Hossa does. But "voracek" potential isn't bad either.

Fantastic comparison. Voracek is a 70-75pt guy right now and probably will pass 80 a couple times in his prime, if Jurco can be that for us it will be huge, and you're right in saying that he looks very similar (even development-wise, Voracek was playing similar to Jurco at his age).

Hossa is a bit lofty imo mainly because of Hossa's insane two way play

That's where I see the disconnect most in that comparison. The defensive play.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

I watched a lot of Voracek in Halifax and Columbus, Voracek had a problem with his shooting accuracy and had a tendency to pass too often in those days, doesn't really remind me of Jurco that much. They skate similarly though.
