The Saga Continues..........


Well once again we have good news and bad news. The good news is the AAA Compuware coach called last night and wants to reconsider Devin. Apparently the three AAA goalies they chose are not panning out and he wants to take another look at Devin in a game situation. He wants to roster him for a tournament this weekend, of which the Blizzard team is also entered, though the CW team is playing at the 94 level. Now for the bad news................last Thursday before practise, while Devin was getting ready to go out on the ice, one of his team mates tripped and came down on Devins left pinkie finger, slicing it lenghtwise to the bone. He ended up having to get seven stitches to close the wound and wont get the stitches out for ten days. That takes us past the tournament weekend. Devin feels he can still play and wants very badly to show the CW coach how he plays; however, it is his catcher hand and very active during games. What a dilemma! Devin is going to try practising tonight and see if he has any problems with it, which will determine whether he can play this weekend. (The doctor said it was up to him; however, he is not to split the stitches open). So here is his opportunity to move up to AAA and he may not be able to. The saga continues...............................

In hockey we play injured, unless it will damage our entire hockey careers. Unlike baseball players who sit three games in a row for a hangnail... ;) haha

Good luck either way. I say go for it, grin & bear it (barrett). haha

LOVE YOU!
