As expected, the Sens have announced a handful of call ups ahead of tonight's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. According to NHL.com, Patrick Wiercioch and Andre Benoit have been called up to replace the injured defence while Roman Wick has been recalled to replace an injured forward.
Full game day post coming in a little bit.
Also, is there any significance abour Petterson (sp?) being in town?
Its been said before, he is rehabbing an injury and the medical staff want to make sure he's doing it right and get a closer look at him. Nothing more.
Coch and Benoit will have their hands full vs the Flyers, they will probably fold like a cheap suit but here's hoping they prove me wrong!
Find it hard to really say much about Wick based on his call ups. Hasn't really been given much ice time and when he has played it has been on the fourth line.
I think we knew he wouldn't look great as a grinder.
Svatos got a concussion in the 1st period of the Leaf game.
Cross check to the head by Rosehill -- who got a 2 min penalty.
Why Anderson? Are we trying to move up further in the rankings?
Quoting Sandy:
Thanks for the info... I missed that game...
Sandy your always over-exageratin g things, its wasnt even close to a crosschek to the head, Rosehill didnt even have 2 hands on his stick. And to be honest the check was kinda weak. Rosehill's stick came up and hit Svatos across the visor, not even making contact with his face. Svatos embelished it more than it should and lets face it, this kid is the forward version of Glasscal Leclaire.
I've noticed that he is often very strong on the puck, especially around the boards, but it is difficult to gauge anything with the limited ice time he has received. Maybe if they threw him in the top 6 for a bit just to see....
I was just repeating what the media said... crosscheck to the head.. did not say he hit his face... but he did hit his head.
