Greening-Spezza-Alfie
Foligno-Turris-Condra
Smith-Regin-Neil

Condra on the second line? Interesting. We'll see, I guess. Expect a lot of shuffling.

He seems to rely on his speed to win puck battles (Why wouldn't he though) but if he doesn't get there first he doesn't usually come away with it. He won the battle on the Condra goal, so hopefully that shows him that success will come when he fights for every inch.

He is still young, and obviously he has a ton of time to bulk up, but it's something I'd like to see him start doing sooner rather than later.

That's just my two cents, I'm probably nitpicking a bit.

I know media is awful here...but what kind of 'awful' are you talking about?

Ya...he did what I was hoping he would- competed hard, seemed engaged all night, and made some nice defensive plays. However, he is weak! He's come to the right place to bulk up though...Ottawa training staff- commence!

I count three stories on Turris on the Sun's Sports home page.

"Turris Sparks Sens Win".

"Turris has memorable debut"

"Turris deal good?"

T.Murray basically said exactly this when we first got him. Needs a summer with our training staff.

Of course no one on the Sabres did anything
