Is it the season yet?

Thanks to Miriam, who noticed that Trevor Smith disappeared from the roster somewhere between typing and publishing… He’s in 23, Morrison’s in 33, and no one’s in between. At least, as long as Jackman is wearing 16; he still had 28 on the lid this morning.

Check the “Meet the Tigers” finale in the morning for a little newsy-notes bit (somewhat out of context, but there it is) that came in late.

Ryan Caldwell got the emergency call for tonight’s Coyotes game, which at this writing is ongoing.

Editing to add: While Caldwell gets the call, his ol’ buddy Matt Koalska is apparently leaving Bolzano; the post, from Babelfish, seems to say he didn’t pass a physical.

Shortcutting with OSC: Barrett Heisten isn’t retiring after all. Vegas finally announces the Ferraro twins.

And some kid from Trumbull did OK tonight in Manhattan. But you knew that was coming, right?
