Who wants to borrow a goaltender?

Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News is reporting that Tobias Stephan is coming to the Sound Tigers. I was going to say “he’s in the same boat as Peter Mannino,” but he may actually have it worse: Stephan has had only three starts, none since Dec. 13, and he hasn’t played since Jan. 8. In seven games, his save percentage is .887.

And, joining Chris Lee and Junior Lessard, he’s (presumably) the third 2007-08 Iowa Star on the Sound Tigers. He had six shutouts in 60 games there last year.

(Am I forgetting someone, or would he be the first Sound Tiger from Switzerland?)

While we’re here: Tim Leone throws some cold water on the Flyers to (partial) Hershey speculation that has floated the past week or so.

And Tom Liodice pointed this out a while ago and I’ve been remiss: Justin Bourne is bloggin’ away. There’s some darn good stuff in there.
