The moves of today

Well now, don’t we have things to talk about.

Well, we knew it couldn’t last forever…

From Twitter: D Mathieu Roy has been placed on waivers today. If he clears at noon Tuesday, he’ll go to minor-league Syracuse.
Edit: he has cleared. Same questions and ponderings remain.
Here’s hoping he’ll come back with a better attitude than he had before and an increased need to prove himself to get back up [...]

It was Smitty

As if none of you were smart enough to figure it out–and I know two were!–the possible “mystery guest” was former Captain Dan Smith. I just got confirmation that he will indeed be coming back for the game. I’m just beside myself, I’m so glad this happened. Mr. Sarosy was really great in keeping me [...]

Slight scoop

I’ve gotten wind (okay, so maybe I forced those winds a long a bit…but it was just a bit…) of very tentative plans–we’re talking smoke signals here–to bring back a certain former Crunch player in some capacity for the outdoor game . That capacity could be anywhere from honored audience member to something else, as [...]

Breaking news: Blunden has been recalled

From Twitter: CBJ has recalled Mike Blunden on an emergency basis to replace LW Fredrik Modin (bruised foot).
Well, kids, we’ve been pretty lucky till now with these call ups, to be honest. Can the Crunch keep the momentum going despite missing firecracker Blunden? I sure as hell hope so.

Breaking news: Pic on waivers

From Twitter, Picard has been placed on waivers. Real send down? Paper move? Time will tell.

Familiar face tomorrow night

If all goes well for him, there will be a familiar face on the Falcon’s roster when we play them tomorrow night: former Crunchie Andrew Penner recently got a much-deserved call up to the AHL from the CHL, the league he’s spent the past few seasons in.
From centralhockeyleague.com: “I’m excited about the opportunity and also flattered that teams [...]

D-Mac gone

6:00 PM: Captain Mac has been called up on an emergency recall basis. It remains to be seen if he’ll be back in time for Friday’s game in Norfolk.
“Funny” story–the Dispatch (insert your wisecrack here) reported this afternoon that no call ups were needed to replace Picard and/or Boll, and yet D-Mac has been suddenly [...]

Breaking news via Twitter

2:20 PM: Mike Blunden has been placed on waivers. Will we be seeing him soon? We can only hope! Though the guy deserved his NHL shot, we can absolutely use him here.

Congrats, Danny

Chairman How’s would like to extend congratulations to Syracuse’s only AHL All-Star this year, Danny Fritsche. He’s worked ridiculously hard for the Crunch this season and he deserves his spot on the PlanetUSA All-Stars roster. Congratulations, Dan!
