Stalberg in today
hence the reason I immediately edited my post when I heard that Neal would not be drawing in.

But that's not bizarre. That's the reason that both were called up. Neal was going to be iffy and we had no extras with Beck going to IR.
But, IF Neal was good to go, the two callups would have been eating from the buffet in the Staples Center Visiting Press Room There were just a bunch of posts talking about Salomaki getting a recall, and it was fairly apparent he was not actually going to play (at least today.) Once Neal became a no-go, it was easy to project Stalberg in, and his +2 on the first three goals means he'd play tomorrow if Neal is not back, and if Neal IS back, he might still play and a guy like Bourque could draw out.
Lol what? So basically even if Salomaki had a hat-trick the management knew he was only getting this one game.
It's not like he was really any better than Beck has been. He's much younger and doesn't have to pass through waivers, I don't see the big deal here. He'll likely have a shot to become a full time NHLer next year.
