I hate to say it but unless this ship gets righted quickly and has a little miracle, SYR will look really good going into the playoffs

Sustr is going to be a BEAST down there with Barberio

Hey Michael, who's eligible to go to AHL if we don't make our playoffs?

Ben Bishop is a big boy!

Johnson and Gudas for sure, I don't have the other guys' statuses memorized. I don't believe Labrie is eligible.

It funny how hockeyfutures.com has Ondrej Palat and Tyler Johnson have a D rating on there chances of making the NHL? Hmmmmm, me thinks there heads are crammed very deep up there asses.

I think those letters are referring to them reaching their projected potential as opposed to them making it to the show.

Bishop looks very positionally sound.

Tracks the puck well too. I've been quietly following him since last year when Yzerman showed interest.

damn vinny hits a post on his 1st game back, boooo

The Canes played tight on the forechecking time to hit some bodies they don't like being hit. Tight checking will help we are siting back a little too much, time to tighten it up and put a few behind Ellis

Victor Hedman will not return tonight as he has suffered a lower body injury. Just when the team starts to get healthy, this happens.

Team is only carrying six D-men right now I believe, so if Hedman is out for a while they'll have to go to Syracuse. I don't know whether they'd go to Barberio or try to bring Lee back up.

The team hasn't released anymore information re: Hedman so I will continue to monitor this and report if I hear anything.

.damn..

Was sad to see Big Ben go. Great puck handler, makes a big difference. Calm as well and confident. Best of luck. Hope Conacher pans out for us.

you shouldnt be dissapointed!

Seeing Big Ben playing for you like he played for us is bittersweet. We loved him and will miss him, but it was not fair to him to keep him when he is a starter calibre tender who was "victim" of a surplus of excellent goalies in Ottawa. Wish nothing but good things for him - great guy and player.
