Chirps from Center Ice

Not much in the way of fodder for a blog post but since there is no radio for the Pens / Phantoms I have to at least get information relative to how I know to get updates regarding the game as I will not be there to give them. More on that in a minute.

<-> Here is your Tuesday Bombulie update from camp. There was a scrimmage. There were hits, saves and goals. The Penguins won.

<-> Everyone placed on waivers cleared today. This includes these guys from Hershey. Meanwhile up I-81, these guys and these guys were cut in Ottawa.

<-> As for Pittsburgh and a more direct impact here in Wilkes-Barre, there were no moves. The Pens play tonight in Kansas City vs. the Los Angeles Kings and there could be some cuts tomorrow.

<-> Back to tomorrow’s scrimmage, you can follow Michael Cignoli (@MCSaratogian) and Tim McMcManus (@PSPhantoms) who covers the Phantoms for The Post-Star in Glens Falls, NY. For what it’s worth, both radio broadcasters could have updates too, Tom Grace for the Pens (@TGracePens) and Bob Rotruck for the Phantoms (@BobRotruck). Tim reports that Jason Bacashihua will get the start in net and play the whole game. From the Bombulie link above, Coach John Hynes is going to dress a tryout lineup and give the regulars a break so it should be interesting how our team stacks up because Bacashihua is no pushover. He led the Lake Erie Monsters to their first ever appearance in the playoffs last year. Should be interesting.

I have no idea what, if any, blog post update there will be tomorrow. If there are cuts from Pittsburgh that may be the only update. North Division Preview coming Thursday, then the Pens play three straight preseason games Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Keep chirpin’. Go Penguins.
