The Sound Tigers apparently have lost Dylan Reese for the weekend; as Arthur Staple figured a couple of days ago, he reports tonight that Reese is joining the Islanders in Anaheim.
The Sound Tigers practiced in Portland on Thursday and then went Go-Karting; check out the various Sound Tigers’ Twitter feeds for more. “Rhitt” and “Jean Girard” posted photos with the agate.
Bridgeport and Charlotte are the only two AHL teams off Friday night. The Pirates, in fact, travel while the Sound Tigers hang out in their hometown.
A Sports Illustrated poll ranked Frans Nielsen as No. 9 on a list of underrated NHL players. Fill in the punchline.
The Falcons have deals to stay in Springfield, with Columbus until at least 2014. They also have a deal with Manny Legace, a full-season AHL contract to replace his PTO, according to the AHL transactions.
Hershey and Adirondack meet Friday at Citizens Bank Park. All those questions about what the attendance was at Rentschler last year will immediately become moot when the puck drops.
Well, that was fast: Peter Mannino back up to St. John’s.
San Jose called Tommy Wingels up from Worcester. The AHL Sharks signed an interesting name to replace him: Alex Bourret, the former Hartford Wolf Pack forward (we used to jokingly call him “Pavel,” the way he scored against Bridgeport), who hasn’t been seen in the AHL since 2009. (Interesting set of transactions in which Bourret has been involved.)
The Hockey Rodent has begun the “John Tortorella, We’ve Got Your Back Fund.”
Some kind of championship game at the World Juniors: Sweden outshot Russia something like 458-2 58-17 but were still scoreless after 60 because of Andrei Makarov. (Russia actually had 12 of those shots in the third.) Senators draft pick Mika Zibanejad finally scored the winner at 10:09 of overtime to secure the first gold at this tournament since 1981 for the Swedes, who included Islanders draft pick Johan Sundstrom. Canada earned the bronze with a 4-0 win over Finland. (We’re No. 7, thanks to a 2-1 win over Switzerland on Wednesday; worst finish since 1999.)
And you’ve probably heard the story by now of Jack Jablonski, the Minnesota high school hockey player who was paralyzed after a hit from behind recently. A fund has been set up to help him and his family.
