Alumni in the Pros - March 2007

[The Rancor]

ECHL News: Shane Hynes, recalled to Portland. Sounds like his rehab has gone quite well. I wish the same could be said for Sasha Pokulok.
He has been placed on the 7-day IR, after leaving a game earlier in the week with dizziness. He had been on the 3-day IR previous to that, after a big hit forced him to leave the game. Again I hope his rehab goes as well as Hynes'. But, I still feel pangs of anger with the guy for leaving the team early ( "See, I told you so Sasha! You should have stayed in Ithaca and none of this would have happened!").

I guess McKee was called up to Portland, because he is in net tonight against Manchester (Moulson's team).  Only a few minutes left in the second and Portland is leading Manchester 2-0.

Nor was he in net on Saturday against Pensacola.  Anyone want to track down whether he's actually in Portland?

Edit: I was confused.  So, he's there, definitely, and I need to stop posting on little sleep.  Go Dave!

He kept his shutout.  Look's like he's now played 2 games for Portland.  Nice save %.

http://stats.theahl.com/stats/gamebygame.php?id=1524[/quote]Great start back in the A.  Let's hope he can keep it up.

how does he play 59:55?

if there was no empty net and no backup in for the 5 seconds, what gives?

I'm guessing he was pulled for an extra attacker during a delayed penalty.

Hamilton has sent Jon Gleed back down to the ECHL.

ah that makes sense.  they wouldn't count that as empty?  it just seems like every other box score has the keeper time add up to 60 min (or whatever, including overtime), just seemed strange that this one adds up to 59:55.

Netminder Sebastien Caron was recalled to the Ducks last week, opening a spot for McKee on the Portland roster.

[The Rancor]

but he wasnt on the 'clear day roster'. isn't he ineligible?

[The Rancor]

None of the seniors have signed with their NHL cluns or their AHL/ECHL affiliates. Does anyone know what their possibilities might be?

Not sure if it has been posted yet but...

Cam Abbott was named the CHL Rookie of the Year.  He scored 58 points in 42 games.

Interestingly, the Mudbugs were about a .400 team before bringing together both Abbotts and Daniel Pegoraro.  Jeremy Downs is on the team, too.  From its schedule, it looks like they finished 44-20, but the website standings say 44-14.  Currently in a 10-game winning streak.

Moulson with a hat trick tonight.  1 shorthanded, 1 powerplay and one even strength goal.
