So yeah, started typing this before the game, but got busy here and never got to finishing it until now.
Anyways though... GP Storm finally have an affiliate skater in the lineup, for tonight - per Jeff Henson on the Storm pre-game broadcast. The kid's name is Allan MacPherson from Calgary, a D-man who wore #6 tonight. He's from the Calgary Flames Midget AAA program (AMHL), and from what Jeff and Blaine Bablitz (coach) said on pre-game interviews, it sounds like he's a hopeful long term Storm player for the staff. I was thoroughly impressed by the Canucks' updater too - they had an AJHL profile as early as game time as well - as it was up on the Storm reserve (as an AP, I can totally understand why the updaters keep these players listed on reserves when they're up/playing briefly) when I got around to checking for it into the 1st. Also, Storm C #9 Sam Lawson said to possibly play in one or more of the next 3 games in 4 nights for the the Storm.
Also Storm news coming... a player I know personally on Twitter and in person, whom a buddy of mine said he heard supposedly 'left the team and went back home', well he turns out to really be on the move. He's confirmed to me that a trade is coming in the next few days, but not sure where as of yet.
As for the Canucks, 3 APs tonight in the lineup - RD #6 Deryk Sutherland, D #34 Zach Dietrich & RW #35 Justin Peers (all 3 from the Calgary Northstars Midget AAA teams as show playing in the team's last game here). Besides that, they also added an AP/listed/reserve G, #-less Curtis Bowman, who's currently playing with CRAA Gold Midget AA in the Hockey Calgary Midget AA league (HCMAA, on EP). Also with what Jeff said about the Canucks, LD #28 Gianni Mangone now listed on EP as "December 19th back surgery (officially listed as 'hip/back injury'), out indefinitely but could return as soon as February - March"
The rest, finally, to come...
Oh yeah, incase I forget later - as I already forgot to on the last post... Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, and all that good stuff - to all you seeing this!
