He broke his collarbone, and then within three games re-injured it?

holy poo poo

Broke it January 26, and was out until March 22. He was called up by Ottawa on March 26th, and reinjured it on April 3. Dude couldn't catch a break last year, though he is making it up this year, he'll easily score 30, maybe 40. Got an outside shot at 50, though he'll have to go on a tear, he needs 23 in Bingo's last 26 games to hit 50.

Some Ottawa fan want to clue me in on why Mike Hoffman isn't in the NHL? I've seen him play against Rochester a few times the last couple years, as well as the all-star game this past weekend and the dude has got, in my mind, NHL skills. Not to mention he was Q player of the year and 3rd in CHL player of the year voting behind Seguin and Eberle his draft year. He just doesn't look like a career AHLer to me when i see him out there.
He was given NHL shots and didn't impress, and he's a scoring line or bust type. Plus it's not the worst thing in the world for him to tear up the AHL for a full season before getting another shot, and also what Kwik said about the injuries and such

Suspensions from the Adirondack/Portland brawl have been handed down:

Adirondack- Kris Newbury suspended 4 games, Cal Heeter suspended 3 games, Zack FitzGerald suspended 2 games, Ben Holmstrom, and Tye McGinn both suspended for a game. Kyle Hagel suspended 2 games for Portland.

So, for Adirondack's next game, Friday night against Albany, they are going to be without their #1 goaltender, 3 of their top 4 scorers, and their #1 enforcer.

having watched the video heeter getting suspended for his role in that was kind of bullshit. domingue was the 3rd man into a fight (justifiably, imo, because mcginn was pounding on murphy who clearly couldn't hang) and heeter, the other goalie, jumped in to peel him off (also justifiably, imo). is it for coming off the bench because the rules have to be different for that if you're off because of a delayed penalty.

Cal Heeter came off the bench. I believe he had been pulled for the extra attacker near the end of the game.

After a long road set while their arena was occupied by ravenous monster trucks, the Saskatoon Blades finally return home for their final game against the hated Regina Pats. The Blades managed to take Calgary to OT on Friday in a ridiculous 6-5 barn-burner that ended 11 seconds into the extra frame, thanks to some dumb idiot on the Hitmen who scored a lucky goal that sucked. The next day, they took out their rage on the Red Deer Rebels, beating them 4-1 in a game I didn't get to listen to because the stupid phone app wasn't working properly.

Tonight the Blades honour longtime play-by-play man Les Lazaruk, who called his 1500th game on Saturday. Les was also chosen fourth overall by the Winnipeg Jets in Hockles' SAS Be a Pro thread. Congratulations, Les!

ehehe, an away goal when they're announcing the home goal is literally the best thing.

Go Royals!

p.s. Blackhawks fans and Flames fans should both be interested in the Royals as they've got Travis Brown and Keegan Kanzig, and both of them are pretty good.

And Joe Hicketts is intriguing for the 2014 draft (he's really good but short, especially for a defenseman).

Oh and Tyler Soy in 2015, he's pretty good too.

and re: Kanzig, at first I thought he was just good at being 6'5, because he doesn't score much, but he's also among the leaders in relative +/- (which is a thing to look at in the CHL since the stats aren't available to calculate individual corsi/fenwick) (from @joshweissbock)

Kingston - Niagara has been a real pleasure to watch, especially for names (they are tied at 4 and going to OT now if you want to join). One of my favourite parts was where Niagara is running out Aaron Hayden, Hayden McCool, and Aleksandar Mikulovich at the same time.

So, I ended up going to the Neon jersey LEM game. I talked to the PR lady before the game about how much the auctions go for, and she said depending on the player, between $375 and $2,000. Here is my crappy iPhone picture of the full getup.

They usually only open the lower bowl for LEM games, but tonight the upper portion wasn't curtained off, but nobody sat up there. The lower bowl did end up filling mostly up, and the attendance was somehow over 11k.
