New old-fashioned way
Amid all the new faces, one delightful old one: Bruno Gervais will play in Philly tomorrow night. He looked good, skated himself hard after practice, and he's raring to go. He'll wear his NHL number, 8. Capuano said they haven't decided on the lineup for tomorrow (including goaltender), but they do expect to go with six defensemen and 11 forwards.
Lots of interest at the stick rack in what Bruno brought along: a couple of RBK 9K (pretty sure) sticks, the pattern of his buddy and junior teammate Patrice Bergeron. The stick has seven small, oval holes near the bottom of the shaft. Sounds like it's very light, and he said he's got great feel for the puck with it. Interesting-looking twig.
Galbraith and Crampton were indeed released back to their ECHL teams, and James Sixsmith was released back to class. Regier stayed here. Boguniecki practiced but is no earlier than a Friday return. No immediate word on Nielsen. Nokelainen said things continue to improve; X-rays were good, but he said it still feels tight.
Bridgeport nominated Mark Wotton for the Yanick Dupre Award as man of the year. (Did I mention the team also put him forward for the Fred T. Hunt Award? Sportsmanship, perseverance, dedication... All those ballots were due Monday, so awards season is upon us...) (Oh, that's what I forgot: Syracuse nominated brief-time Tiger Jeff Szwez for the Dupre Award, and Hartford nominated Darien's own Hugh Jessiman.)
Elsewhere, the Todd Simpson era didn't last long ((edit a day later: fixed the link). Peter Botte of the News gets Mike Richter on Rick DiPietro. Edit: Hartford signed Bobby Sanguinetti to an ATO. And Edit2, 7 p.m. -- Martin Grenier will be suspended from tomorrow's game because of a late instigator over the weekend. And wouldn't it be easier if Jersey coaches' contracts just expired April 1?

Major credit to Dubie for an amazing game on the Island. Gotta love that poke-check in the shoot out! If that doesn't open some eyes in the league, I just don't know what will. Simply stellar performance!

Dubie is the only reason the Islanders stayed in the game against the Rangers. Congrats to him on an excellent year!
