like 2 weeks until his return? i can’t wait, he’s my second favorite player, right behind joe pavelski. and remember mr. plank, you said you’d post right before his first game back, i’ll be making all my spg picks mitchell…well for that one game.

Especially since Torrey has played with a large majority of the team all of last season, has watched the team play extensively and has had months of time learning and then practicing McLellan’s style of play. There are no possible chemistry issues, most other players have already played with him and his own style extensively, and he’s cheap.

Plus, you know, he’s awesome.

This should be a huge boost to the offense and the PK. I’m looking forward to seeing how he does and how TM fits him into the lineup. Who loses their spot to make room for him? One of Staubitz, Cavanagh, or Joslin will have to go back to Worcester to make room on the roster. Do Shelley and Plihal start splitting ice time? If Joslin goes does Semenov sit and someone get bumped to the 4th line? This is a good problem to have.

Sorry Staubitz, I’ve taken a bit of a shine to you while you’ve been up with the club (stupid penalties notwithstanding), but your time is drawing to a close.

Bai!

Mitchell was injured in a game against the Hershey Bears. Leg injury, too, on the same leg he broke. Its not in the same place, which is good, but still. DP said he’ll have more tomorrow.

Why do the hockey gods hate Torrey? Is it because he’s too awesome with his short-handedness? Or is it just because they don’t want the Sharks to be even more kick-ass?
