Parrothead night?   ::screwy::

Now I've seen it all.

Another one from the INCH Newsstand:
"Ned Doesn't Need Hockey ..."

Mike Rutter's a pretty smart Jackalope. He's completing his MBA while playing pro hockey.

Nice typo when they referred to Rutter as McKee.

[Q]Nice typo when they referred to Rutter as McKee[/Q]
Not a typo.  Don McKee is Rutter's coach.  They just don't explain that earlier in the article.  He's a Canadian and as far as I know, not related to our McKee,  but who knows?

For all the good things the article says, he's still in god-forsaken Odessa, Texas.  The only thing they care about in the Permian Basin is high school football.

And you should read about Odessa football if you can find a copy of the book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0306809907/qid=1074267801/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-0082450-0060852

(There is even a little bit about Ivy League recruiting in there.)

[Section A]

Stephen Baby had a great weekend. On Friday night, Baby had an assist, a fighting major, and a +1 rating for the game, but Chicago lost 4-3 in overtime to Grand Rapids. And then tonight, he had his first ever multi-point game as a pro, with a goal and 2 assists (+2) in a 5-1 win over Manitoba. He now has 4 goals and 7 assists in 31 games this season.

In Springfield, Pelletier started and lost to Worcester on Wednesday night. Then on Friday night, LeNeveu had 36 saves in a 3-1 win against the same Worcester team. However, I noticed that, while looking at the box score, Pelletier actually played a couple of minutes in Friday night's game, though I'm not sure if it was at the beginning or at the end. Hopefully Lenny didn't get injured in the final minutes of play. Pelletier then started tonight's game and had 31 saves on 35 shots in a 4-2 loss to Lowell.

Well I found out what happened to Lenny on Saturday night. It doesn't sound serious. Here's an excerpt from the game recap on the Falcons' website -

"LeNeveu protected the Falcons lead with several sparkling saves in the final two periods including a glove save on a point-blank IceCats' opportunity in the middle frame. The rookie also slid from post to post to stop a power-play bid by Worcester defenseman Trevor Byrne in the third period.

LeNeveu left the game with 1:49 remaining to play due to cramping in his right leg muscles. Jean-Marc Pelletier completed the game in the Falcons' net without having to handle any shots."

Check out the penalties of today's Springfield game, 162 min. total:

That's awesome! :-D

[Section A]

In fact, 17 penalty minutes were assessed to Lenny, as the game clearly got out of hand in the final couple minutes:

Springfield - David LeNeveu - (Fighting (Secondary) Game Misconduct), 10 min, 18:43
Springfield - David LeNeveu - (Goalie Leaving Crease), 2 min, 18:43
Springfield - David LeNeveu - (Fighting Major), 5 min, 18:43

He had 34 saves on 39 shots.

[D!]

That's not counting the 2 2min minors for roughing and leaving the crease at 18:09 also, or am I missing something?

[D!]

Ahh, nevermind, wrong column.  It appears the 'other guy' set a nice example just a few minutes earlier.

[Section A]

ECHL All-Star Game, featuring Paolini and Mark McRae, is tonight.

Both were featured in the skills competition yesterday:
