WHALERS MAKE BTN'S DYNAMIC DOZEN: Yahoo! Sports Junior Hockey.ca's Buzzing the Net ranks the Whalers seventh in their weekly Dynamic Dozen Canadian Hockey League Poll. Neate Sager writes:
"7 (tied). Plymouth Whalers, OHL (.547, -1) — Coach-GM Mike Vellucci's choice not to add players at the deadline will be road-tested since the Whalers have only three home games left this month. It says here it was a good call for a team that is 11-1-0-0 dating to Dec. 1 despite the fact (de facto?) No. 1 goaltender Scott Wedgewood played in only four of those games and teammates J.T. Miller, Rickard Rakell and Dario Trutmann were also away at the world junior. Wedgewood had a very nice 28-save return Sunday in a 2-1 win at Sarnia."
