What about Ryan??

[SkateZilla]

What about Ryan??

i'll add him back.. but from personal experience.. ear infections only take a few days to get rid of... that and records dont show him being sent back down yet so...

[JD]

I just read on HF that Ryan was sent down.. so that means Hecht is back?

EDIT: According to Ruff per WGR, Hecht still out. He is hopeful for Sunday though.

So now I assume Peters is playing? :puke:
The guy cant even fight, let alone play hockey..

[SABURZFAN]

LETS GO SLUG-A-LO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Useless fact- I live 3 miles away from the AHL offices in Springfield, MA


I was actually in the building they have their offices today (Monarch place) taking the wife to see christmas trees on display.


They were closed for the holiday

When you got a loose puck in front of the net like that, you got to bury it- Like you did in the Leafs game!!!
