Chirps from Center Ice

I wasn’t going to blog today given the fact that I saw nothing official regarding Ben Street being recalled from Wheeling to Wilkes-Barre / Scranton. I had heard about it but saw nothing official.

Until I saw this. Street has indeed been recalled and will be with the team tomorrow and Wednesday in Charlotte.

Let’s speculate. The recall means WBS is down a forward and have no healthy bodies available with Veilleux and Vitale on the shelf. Let’s take it a step further. Street is a winger. Veilleux is a winger but sometimes plays center. Vitale is a center but sometimes plays winger. Veilleux sits and Vitale plays. Makes sense, no?

I guess I have to listen to the pregame show on the radio tomorrow to be sure since I am not flying to Charlotte for these games.

Why not Haddad? This may help answer that question.

Let’s Go Pens!

EDIT: Eric P at the Wilkes-Blog has a story regarding Veilleux’s status from the local news. I don’t even watch the local news. Anyway here is the link, and from it you can click through to the link from the local news. Early estimations are 2-3 weeks.
