Kind of crowded garage when I got here a little after 5. Portland, if you’ve never been, is a pretty happening town.
Morency and Callahan in (both wearing A’s); Wotton and Fritz out (so Walter wearing an A). Pitton and the other assorted injured remain out. Same goaltending matchup.
And the third jerseys that Portland’s wearing, the ones that forced Bridgeport to wear white in Albany? They’re all red. Red sweaters with white and a little black trim, red lids, red pants, red on top of black socks. All that’s missing are red skates. It’s got kind of a Canadian-All-Star-Team vibe. Or it’s just in my head.
