(Blown up out of the earlier comment, sorry for the delay…)

So Mitch Fritz came back down this afternoon, and Ben Walter is also on the transactions report; his official assignment to Bridgeport means he’s medically cleared. Someone will apparently go up Saturday morning, and as Chris Botta wrote today, Tim Jackman makes a lot of sense.

(Interesting day on the transactions report, BTW. Michael Ryan and Tyler Sloan go up; Brett Sterling comes down. From Thursday, Poor-Swedish-Man’s-Sean-Avery Andreas Jamtin is going from Hartford back to Europe. And arrived home tonight to this one, what, the 945th trade between Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.)

Prescout. Four goals in 9:46 is probably not a fun way to start the Non-Scott-Clemmensen era. Meanwhile, Hershey is back atop alone.

Edit: It’s all about trying out in Bridgeport, obviously.

Two interesting notes from Kevin Oklobzija: One, that Eric Manlow is becoming a firefighter. And two, Manitoba got dinged tonight when a teammate tossed Zach FitzGerald a stick from the bench. (box score)

But it gets better. Really the only reason I broke this out was for this from Tris Wykes, because holy moley, where else outside the rule book can you find head-butting and eye-gouging in the same place? (box score) Press-box screaming matches, charging the goaltender and the goaltender responding with a stick to the head: What do you say we go there tomorrow instead of Bridgeport? (Downie is. Or at least, that’s where he’s reporting.)
