I would imagine a lot of that would depend on what exactly he is being paid. If the money is good-you might no mind a year of shuttling back and forth. He is still extremely young as far as goalies go-as long as they just keep giving him a chance at the top level.

Well, while he is in the NHL, he is making NHL money. I don't know if that holds true for being sent to the ECHL.
I would think that he would like to get in some playing time no matter where he is. And he doesn't seem to be getting that.
That being said, they must like his chances, or they wouldn't be going to him when they need someone in the NHL. You would think that they would bring up Legace for those days when they need goalie help.

My thought also. They must consider him a guy they can go to if they bring him up more than once. Although Philadelphia kept calling up Neil Little without giving him much of a chance to play for years.

And think of all of the frequent flyer miles. ;)

It appears that he is really on the verge of getting a shot at the big time. He certainly is on the right team for it. Successful teams don't often make changes in goal frequently. He has time on his side-goalies can stick around for a long time before becoming regualrs.

He does need to get more game time.

Five goals against Columbus near the end of the second period, and York still isn't playing :( Granted, four of them were on the powerplay, but...

For tonight-they may have just considered him a warm body to put on the bench and had no thoughts of his playing. A couple more goals against may change that though.

you're saying...you didn't root for York or Pirri this year? ;):D

Not when they were playing the Sabres or the Crunch. ;) Actually, it's not ENTIRELY true; I do like to see that they're playing well. My NHL/AHL loyalties are not as strong as my college hockey loyalties.

...or Pothier w/Washington? As RB might say, "FD, I understand what you're saying...I just don't understand what you're writing".:rolleyes:
 
Re: RPI Pros IV

What FlagDUDE is saying makes perfect sense if he's a Sabres fan. Juneau was the last (maybe the only) former RPI player to play for the Sabres. If a former RPI player were to play for another NHL team against the Sabres, he would want the RPI guy to do well - but not well enough for his team to beat the Sabres.

I have a ticket for the Hershey Bears' game against Springfield on March 4. If, by some chance, Allen York is in net for the Falcons that night, I want him to make 50 saves and be named the first star of the game, and the Bears to win, 1-0, on a fluke deflection. If somebody else plays for Springfield, I want the Bears to score a dozen goals so that I can yell "Yorkie would've had it" after every one. ;)

It was just so much easier when Oates and Juneau were both on the same team in the NHL.:)
