Rahimi not coming to Manitoba anytime soon
After winning two best-of-three playoff rounds, defensive prospect Daniel Rahimi and his Bjorkloven teammates grabbed the last available spot in the so-called “Kvalserienâ€, where the two worst SEL teams have to defend their spots in Sweden’s top league against the four best minor league squads. In the Kvalserien, each team will square off against each of its five counterparts twice, so Rahimi’s season in Sweden will last ten more games and won’t be over until April 2nd. The Canucks apparently had planned to let the rough defender play for the Manitoba Moose once he is done in Sweden, but now they at least have to wait until next month.
In the six playoff games, Rahimi had no point, six PIM, and a +/- rating of -1.
In Russia, winger Evgeny Gladskikh picked up his first point in over a month with an assist in Magnitogorsk’s 3-1 win over Novokuznetsk.
Gladskikh, who has been scratched from three of the last five games, currently stops at five goals, nine assists, and 16 PIM in 46 games.
Kirill Koltsov contributed two assists to Omsk’s 6-0 victory over Khabarovsk. In the same game, center Artem Chubarov returned to Omsk’s line-up after missing 14 games with a knee injury.

Eagles players survive scary crash on Smokey
Five members of team in car that left road and hit guardrail
BY BRAD ROWE
The Cape Breton Post
SYDNEY — Five members of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles are lucky to be alive today following a single-vehicle accident on Cape Smokey Monday afternoon.
The players were driving back to Sydney following an afternoon practice at an outdoor rink in Ingonish Beach. Newly acquired 19-year-old defenceman Beau Prokopetz of Winnipeg, Man., was behind the wheel of his mid-size Toyota sedan when the vehicle left the road and hit a guardrail that prevented it from plummeting over the side of the mountain. :shock:
The accident occurred around 4 p.m.
None of the players were injured. The vehicle sustained significant damage to the front end and could not be driven to Sydney.
Prokopetz, acquired by the Eagles in January from the Drummondville Voltigeurs, could not be reached for comment.
“We were going down the hill and when we came to a turn he hit the brakes and we slipped on something and went into the guardrail,†said 17-year-old rookie Alex Quesnel of Dorval, Que., one of the four passengers in the vehicle.
Also in the vehicle was 17-year-old sophomore forward Scott Brannon of Churchville, N.S., 17-year-old rookie forward Nick MacNeil of Judique, N.S. and 17-year-old rookie centreman Jean-Christophe Gauthier of Rock Forrest, Que.
“It happened pretty fast but I can tell you, you can kind of see your life pass by you,†said Quesnel, who was sitting in the middle of two teammates in the back seat. “You think what’s going to happen and hope everything is going to be positive. We got lucky.
“I was scared we were going to go over the guardrail. When we hit it I got out of the car as fast as I could.â€
Teammates arrived at the scene of the accident only moments after it happened. Team officials and players made the trip in six vehicles, including a cargo van to transport equipment. The players involved in the accident were picked up by other team members and brought back to Sydney.
Team president Paul MacDonald was in one of the trailing vehicles and said he felt a sinking feeling when they approached the scene of the accident.

Bourdon was no where near the accident right?
Well ALL of the team was driving back from X practice facility to X place. So they were on route, just in a different car most likely.

Bourdon better drive in a Brinks truck.

MacIntyre, then playing for Grand Rapids, was the netminder who helped close out the Griffins’ win in Game 7 of a playoff series against the Moose. During the off-season, Manitoba picked him up in a trade to help its depth at that position. He’s done that and more, almost to the extent that the team can let that little issue in last year’s postseason slide.
In 30 games, MacIntyre is 17-8 with a .924 save percentage and a 2.21 goals-against. He’s helped nudge the Moose into first place in the North, posting a 16-4 mark in his last 20 decisions and going 18-consecutive starts without allowing more than three goals.
That’s some rebound for a player who isn’t so far removed from having the look of a journeyman goalie.
“Obviously, there’s times when my confidence hasn’t been the highest,’’ MacIntyre said. “But I knew I could play at this level. Right now, I know I can play at the next level. It’s not a cockiness. You have to believe in your abilities.’’
Especially when that belief is your lifesaver. Entering this season, MacIntyre, 23, had played in more contests in the ECHL (46) than in the AHL (37). But those numbers were more a reflection of Detroit’s goaltending depth than of MacIntyre’s ability. To his credit, he chewed up his time in Toledo last season, with Jimmy Howard and Joey MacDonald entrenched in Grand Rapids.
“That was what I needed,’’ MacIntyre said of his time in "The Coast." “I didn’t need to spend any more time on a bench. They (Detroit) appreciated how I handled the whole year. They said they’d cooperate if somebody wanted me (in a trade).’’
The Moose did, and the reason why could create a pleasant dilemma for coach Scott Arniel come playoff time. MacIntyre has been an invaluable complement to Wade Flaherty, who, at age 39, certainly doesn’t need to play a full AHL season. But Flaherty is a money goalie, one hard to pass up when your season is on the line.
MacIntyre’s counter-argument continues to be the way he plays, setting the Moose up for such high postseason hopes in the first place.
“I knew this was going to be the situation,’’ MacIntyre said. “The only thing I can worry about is my game. I think we’re pushing each other. I think any coach would want to have two goalies playing well. Hopefully, we can keep it up until the playoffs.’’

I can wait.
