Chirps from Center Ice

In yesterday’s Postgame wrap, I erroneously miscalculated the Penguins magic number as 9, it is 8. Astute reader Rob corrected my folly and gave me the correct algorithm for my clarity.

See, that’s one thing about me. I am absolutely terrible, just awful, at mathematics. But I could string together a pretty good sentence which sounds downright collegiate. Let’s try the first paragraph again in terms which don’t require an English degree:

Yesterday, I thought the Penguins magic number was 9. Rob left a comment in my postgame recap and corrected me. It’s actually 8.

Anyway, beyond that, Philip Samuelsson was recalled by Wilkes-Barre from Wheeling. Carl Sneep from yesterday was actually listed as “day to day” with an upper body injury, but you could see when he took warmups he was sporting a black eye from his fight the night prior with Worcester’s Matt Pelech. Couple that with Joey Mormina’s illness, the Samuelsson recall makes sense.

Finally, the Lightning made it official that they signed G Sebastian Caron, who apparently has or had the nickname “Salmon.” This will most likely bump G Dustin Tokarski back to Norfolk. The Admirals most certainly don’t need the help, but how does that saying go? Rich get richer? Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em?

Let’s Go Pens!
