Hope BigMac is OK!
Juulsen’s been back for a few games now. How is he looking? Is he being a difference maker, or still rounding in to shape?
Ok wait so Fucale is now in the ECHL while McNiven who is having a well below average season is in Laval? How the heck does this make sense.
very good, there's some rust but he looks better then I thought he would for being out that long and making his pro debut. Laval had a full 2 minute 5 on 3 PK to kill and Juulsen was out there on the first shift.
I don't know why they opted to send Fucale down for 2 games, and not just send McNiven back, or what their plan is once Fucale is back up this week. That said while I didn't watch last night's game yet, McNiven despite poor numbers has been pretty good other then a couple goals he needs to stop. Laval has been the worst team in the league in ga all year long.
Difference is likely Mcniven probably backed up while in laval this week and fucale probably started in brampton so hed be getting playing time instead of being on the bench im just guessing never looked at who started any games
As per Uncle Gary in the PGT thread from yesterday, Carr is back with The Rocket. I guess they needed a marquee player ... the type that nails 4 points in two games:

Juulsen is adapting quickly to the AHL, at the defensive end at least.
Every AHL team deals with that issue of missing players. Jerabek, and 2 of Deslauriers/Carr/Sherbak are going to be in the NHL for the rest of the year. They must deal with this internally, like every other AHL team.
