There were a couple of call-ups on Wednesday as the Montreal Canadiens promoted defenceman David Reinbacher to the big club and the Carolina Hurricanes added Bradly Nadeau. Reinbacher did not dress for the game on Wednesday night in Washington, and it remains to be seen how the Hurricanes will use Nadeau. Regardless, either (or both) [...]
Good day, all! I finally was able to catch some puck last night, with a newborn and my White Sox in playoffs those took priority - probably in that order as well. I was excited to watch some of the games and was treated to the Penguins laying the smackdown on the Flyers. Big thanks [...]
