Soundin' Off

So there was David Ullstrom today at Wonderland, for now at least, skating with Casey Cizikas and Rhett Rakhshani and ready to get back out there. How long will he be with those guys? Well, with Cizikas and Rakhshani, depends on chemistry, flow, what have you. With the Sound Tigers? Sounds as if all involved are hoping for a short stay. Story tomorrow.

Brandon Gentile was in town and wearing No. 23 on his helmet. Today at least, Benn Olson was in Calvin de Haan’s old spot with Ty Wishart. Twin Towers on defense. Another defenseman is likely by tomorrow to get themselves to seven. The only forward line intact was Haley-Romano-Backman; we’ll see what they finally look like tomorrow night. (We’ll almost certainly be sitting home for it, so stop by for a liveblog.)

Edit: With an assist to Doug for finding the release from Colorado, Jon Landry is the other defenseman. He’s no relation to the Jon Landry who played here last year; that Landry isn’t playing right now, though far from forgotten. This Landry is second among ECHL defensemen in scoring.

The Sound Tigers are wearing special pink-trimmed sweaters for Saturday’s game.

Seen on Twitter: Pascal Morency speaks.

Don’t know if you guys watch “The Middle,” but I thought last night’s episode, particularly the opening scene as they honored and remembered and reacted to the death of actress Frances Bay’s character, was beautiful.

You may have seen this by now, but: Just after Jack Jablonski, Jenna Privette, a girls hockey player in Minnesota, was seriously injured in a game. Jeez. A fund has been set up for her as well.

And RIP, Bill Janklow.
