The Kids Are ... Oh Whatever

The youngsters are stepping it up. Jan Mursak broke out with a goal in last night's exhibition against Chicago. This is fun to hear about. I wish I could see some of these games, but such is life.

Mursak has been in and out of the Grand Rapids Griffins roster since 2006. He played in a total of 130 games in the past two seasons with Grand Rapids. He had 24 goals in 79 games during the 2009-2010 campaign. Maybe he's for real now. He is 22 and hails from Slovenia. I would place a picture of him here, but they all suck. He has to earn some decent photos before I start placing them on DRW.

Tonight, the Red Wings allow Chicago to play host. Some of the Wings regulars will be making the trip, but not all.

Again, hopefully another young guy makes the most of his time wearing the winged wheel. It means a lot to the organization, clearly, but it also makes Chicago look like fools. I'm not sure which is more important to me.

Time to take the central division back. Never too soon to start. Pre-season what?
