Former Idaho Steelhead Richard Bachman made it to the NHL on Saturday. Are we surprised? Not really because we remember cursing his name when he was playing for Idaho. And he just received a Goaltender of the Week award in the AHL. Bachman stopped all 4 shots he saw in the Dallas Stars loss to Phoenix, which isn't a bad way to kick off a shot in the big leagues. Another fun fact that we've somehow missed out on all of these years - Bachman's birthplace is SLC, UT. Doh to us.
The B2 has added a chatting feature for those of us watching the away games online (or for those of you not able to attend the home games, i.e. Canadians in Canada). We plan on using it.
And finally from Abbotsford, Coach Jim Playfair is looking forward to his team recovering from injuries and callups: “Nice to have good players coming back – I don’t want bodies, I want good players.” Obviously . . . but if you're sitting at 3-2 in your last 5 (which isn't great, but) it's not like you've had a zombie jamboree out there all season.
