Ah that makes more sense thanks.Tucson is playing in Grand Rapids tonight.
Flying all the way to the east coast to be a healthy scratch Tuesday is not an inconvience since Crouse could meet up with Tucson in Grand Rapids for the game tonight.
Its prefect timing because Tucson is on the road and Perlini comes back.
I think this is a good move, although I'm expecting some heat from folks who would rather have seen Kempe go down...
I have mixed feeling about this, but with Rinadlo on the team they probably thought it would be better for Crouse to get more minutes in Tucson. Kempe and Cousins have played pretty good and would be good on a fourth line for a contending team, but for a rebuilding team I would rather have Strome and Crouse in the lineup and continue to develop and boot the others to the curb.
