Pretty much everyone Bucks-related is out of town for their early Christmas vacation, so I probably won't have much new news to report the next couple of days...at least from Laredo.
The Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees' injury woes have been no secret for a while now, as Rob Voltera got hurt, then Trevor Weisgerber and Travis Banga followed suit, then Ryan Shmyr left their 4-2 loss to the New Mexico Scorpions on Saturday and told Brian Sandalow he felt like something was broken. Yikes.
Somehow, that all led to head coach Chris Brooks deciding to waive Voltera, who came off the IR to play in their games this past weekend. Voltera became only the second player to be waived by Brooks since the regular season began, and he leaves the Killer Bees as their second-leading goal scorer and third-leading scorer (121 points) all-time.
That move added fuel to the fire many Bees fans have tried to start about the return of Dennis Maxwell...which reminds me of people here who constantly ask if James Hiebert will come back this season.
But anyway...weekly honors were announced today, as usual, with former Buck and current Corpus Christi IceRay Dustin Traylen getting the Goaltender of the Week nod and Colorado Eagles forward Kevin Ulanski being named Player of the Week.
In case you were wondering, Petr Sykora's first career hat trick, and a few more points, got him the No. 2 Star of the Week for the NHL.
Oh, and apparently this weird southern weather extends further west than Laredo, as the game that was to be played between the Amarillo Gorillas and New Mexico Scorpions tomorrow has been postponed.
And now, let's catch up on some scores...
Last Night's CHL Score: Jackalopes 4, IceRays 3 (SO).
Last Night's NHL Scores: Blackhawks 3, Blue Jackets 1; Ducks 4, Wild 2; Canucks 5, Panthers 3.
Tonight's NHL Scores: Avalanche 3, Red Wings 2; Kings 2, Sharks 2 (2nd INT).
