noticed that today too .....sweet stuff Rowat!

Rowat has played fairly well. Let's hope that he keeps improving. I think that bringing in a goaltender coach will do nothing but help Rowat improve. It also helps that, it appears to me, that Tommy T is a great team guy and is very supportive of Rowat. I guess a game a week with the Pats is better than every game in the stands with Vancouver.

It is also nice to see that Nick Ross is rated high. Ranked number 6 for WHL skaters. If he continues his play, he will be ranked higher after Christmas. There are a few scouts out there that have him ranked as high as number 2.

In the end the ranking really doesn't mean anything, other than a bit of recognition.

Exactly. Each and every team has their needs and expectations of players. And in the end each team has their own set of rankings. All in all no one knows where they will end up until draft day.

But congratulations to both Linden and Nick... well deserved
