What'd I Miss?
One short week. Much has happened. Much is yet to come. Though not necessarily around here.
So apparently the Devils and Islanders will convene again 52 weeks later for a preseason game at Harbor Yard. (So the Devils say, anyway.) They'll also play at Lowell. No official word from the BST/NYI yet; there may be some jots needed. The game certainly doesn't appear to be on Ticketmaster yet, and IIRC that's how it was "announced" last year.
The long-rumored promotion of Jim Schoenfeld finally happened, and Ken Gernander is the new head coach of the Wolf Pack. Also promoted: Gordie Clark, to director of player personnel. Let it never be forgotten what he meant to that first Sound Tigers team.
Lots of other coaching stuff: Cory Clouston takes over in Binghamton (here's a big Michael Sharp story from the Press+Sun Bulletin), and former Hershey Bear Mike Stothers is the man in Grand Rapids. Maybe we'll see him coach eventually. Thanks to Patrick Williams: Pat Conacher is quietly out in San Antonio and apparently has been for a while. It's deep within a bigger Don Maloney story.
n-from Norfolk to Rockford with Chicago's affiliation; s-from Springfield to Norfolk with Tampa Bay's affiliation
Speaking of, the Coyotes have signed Ryan Caldwell and Craig Weller. And not speaking of, the Penguins re-signed Alain Nasreddine. David Masse is back with Rio Grande Valley (CHL) (home of Paul Fixter and Rich Bocchini). I'm pretty sure other guys signed, but I can't find them/those pages crashed my computer/I'm too lazy to look again. (I'm technically not back until the Brakettes game today, so cut me some slack.) In response to some comments, I've not heard anything about Matt Koalska, but he's one of several guys I'm planning on calling in the next few days. And a certain coaching-in-Utah rumor sounds like it's not just rumor. But I guess it's not announced yet. It'll be very nice if -- when? -- it happens.
Elsewhere, our man Dwayne Hay makes a strong move toward the annual Doug Gilmour "I Retire - No Wait I Don't - Do I?" Memorial Award. (He's actually got a long way to go to knock off Sammy Sosa. And Scott Niedermayer and Jeremy Roenick probably have him beat in the hockey division. So scratch that.) Interesting WSJ piece about the Detroit riots of 1967 and what they did to the city.
And finally, Dave Fay of the Washington Times died last week. Tim Leone put together a moving tribute.
