High spirits before, during and after practice, it seemed. If there’s any hangover, it wasn’t apparent. The whole travel group skated, except for Brett Motherwell, who went back to Cincinnati this morning. The Sound Tigers expect to have Jake Gannon back up from Utah by tomorrow night.
Neither coach was committed to a Game 2 starter. The Bears brought a few players up from eliminated South Carolina to join the black aces.
Here’s our gamer and notebook off of Game 1, and here’s Tim Leone’s gamer.
Edit: Utah just sent out a release that Mikko Koskinen was called up as well as Gannon. Koskinen is reportedly in Bridgeport right now and will join the team when they get back.
Edit2: Katie Strang reports a one-year extension for Trevor Gillies.
