Somewhere Niku is gently weeping.

Beaulieu has been good for the jets. The guy can't catch a break. Niku should be called up. He played in the NEw year eve game for the Moose so he's healthy

Agree with all of this.

If Niku isn't called up they should put Dahlstrom with Pionk and put Sbisa with Bitetto, can't expect Dahlstrom who hasn't played in a long time to be able to carry Bitetto, Pionk and Dahlstrom made a nice pair in past games.

I think this is another one of Maurice's faults, he should rotate the bottom pair guys in and out of the lineup more often so you don't have a guy coming in cold who hasn't played in like 10 games.

I should add I think Sbisa has been great for the Jets and I'd trust him to carry Bitetto which is why I'd drop Sbisa down to the 3rd pair.

Also think if Niku isn't ready for a callup then what should happen is callup Nogier, pair Dahlstrom with Pionk and Sbisa with Nogier on the 3rd pair.
Yes I'd rather have two cold dmen coming in then Bitetto on the ice.. Lol.. Seriously though Nogier is more then ready and deserving of a callup, this is the perfect time for it.

I like Sbisa's game too. If he played with Bitetto it would balance out the talent (used loosely). Dalhstrom, like you said, had chemistry with Pionk earlier, but he needs to be dusted off for tonight's game...kinda scary.

I agree.

I see they sent Luoto down and it sounds like they're recalling a dman after practice today according to Orlesky/Weibe, should be interesting to see who gets the recall.

And Niku gets the call-up!
