Makenna will be back on waivers when one of Philly's goalies is back, then Van gets him back and can send him down.

Quite obviously. Philly has 5 goalies and we will get McKenna back from waivers once one of those injured goalies comes back. Neuvirth is day to day so it could be very soon. How this is a big deal to anyone is beyond belief.

Nice, looking forward to see the Comets. Got the game recording set up. Hoping Lind, Gadj, Jasek will all be in the line up

Yes, want to see all three. Playing right now and only Lind is in the line-up ! ( up 4-0 in the 2nd )

Interesting pairing was the D line of Colton Saucerman and Craig Wyszomirski who are both on PTO's from the ECHL Manchester Monarchs. Saucerman was more proactive with his wingman this game although Wyszomirski was out of place on the second Cleveland goal and left a Monster wide open for the cross and tap in. Other than that lapse they held up pretty well.

How did Dahlen play?

 

A line of Dahlen, Gaudette Lind  would be a line I hope Utica tries out at some point. I know they are all AHL rookies but thats the future of the Canucks and they all have skill. You only get better and learn from playing more and making mistakes and having tougher match ups to play against

In my opinion they'd be better off having each of them play with some sort of a veteran presence, to help them improve and learn the nuances of playing pro hockey.
