I get why that ticks you off, as the Hogs are in a tight race. And, truth be told, the more tanking crowd in Chicago probably don't like anybody other than a proven bad coming up right now either. But there is something to be said about letting a guy face NHL talent to see how up to snuff he is, and the best time to really do that would be in garbage games that don't matter (either nice and safe or too far out of it to matter), so I'm fine with this.

Sorry for the Hogs fans, though.

Also something to be said for rewarding a player that appears to have progressed a lot since the start of the year. He's earned the call up.

well that sucks Courtney for you and Rockford fans, but how about being happy for these kids living out their dreams as well? as much as Rockford is such an amazing destination on the globe, their dreams aren't of playing there - it is to make it to the show, and we need to know what they can do here.

You realize telling me to be happy for my goalie doesn't automatically fix this, right?!

I'm not new to this.

Sorry I'm not happy for him that he has to play behind a team I'm not even convinced knows what hockey is.

Perhaps sharpening him up for the AHL playoffs by letting him see some NHL shots.

The Hogs will be fine. They have Bouma. And Glass. And Clendening. And Svedberg. And...yikes. Sorry for your loss Courts. Better luck next year.
Bouma scored 2 goals 2 games ago, these older vets are helping them get into the playoffs too.

Delila hasn't had a regulation loss in 9 games going back to early Feburary but Glass has been playing well the last few games also. He won 3 of his last 4 games with only allowing 2 goals in the wins.

Good for him. Quite a season for him and perseverance paid off. AHL, ECHL, AHL, NHL. Had his struggles early on as a pro but progressed and has been on fire of late. Congrats to the former Amarillo Bull! #NAHL

*sorry, Courtney*

Poor guy is gonna get sucked out of any confidence he has accumulated this past year with this pathetic team in front of him, R.I.P. to his career...

Stanley needs one last witness on the 'famed' Quenneville "system" in which forwards play bumper car on each other chasing the puck in the D-zone.
