Before I write a longer post, I'd just like to note that the Bucks have placed Maxime Lincourt on the 14-day injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 14 and waived Ryan Ford for the second time.
Lincourt has not played since the Bucks' 4-3 shootout win over the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees on Feb. 14 but has been participating in practice. His injury is of the upper-body variety, which allows him to skate though he has been avoiding contact.
Lincourt will be available to come off the IR following this weekend's games.
Ford, who was signed by the Bucks on Feb. 6, waived on Feb. 13, then re-signed on Feb. 16, is now gone for good.
He played six games with the Bucks, contributing one assist, and was a minus-3.
Ford participated in practice today but obviously will not make the trip to Allen, which has been postponed to tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. due to weather conditions.
These moves put the Bucks down a forward, so don't be surprised to hear some more roster news tomorrow. I'll be sure to post as soon as anything like that becomes official.
Defensemen Paul Elliott and Adam Rivet did not skate in practice today, but neither is expected to miss time this weekend.
Lincourt and Robin Richards, both forwards, dressed as d-men in their absence.
UPDATE: Powerlifting and high school basketball playoffs took over my evening, so I haven't had a chance to transcribe any quotes from practice today. Not much breaking news to report anyway, but I did talk to Richards, Kevin Desfosses and Ruskowski about their take on this weekend's events, as well as team captain Adam Rivet. My first post tomorrow will likely be a roster move, but after that, I'll get some quotes and other info up on here.

Will it be a new face on D or a forward?
I think you can expect a forward this time, but that isn't to say Ruskowski isn't still looking at d-men in European leagues.
Is it a rookie or has some pro experience
I liked Ford. He has speed and good hustle. I hope coach invites him to Bucks' camp next season. With a couple more games under his belt, he could end up being a great player, blond highlights and all. See former Buck Michael Swift. Lincourt on the other hand, has been a disappointment. Injury prone and only 9 goals to speak of so far. :-(
And as many fans would agree, don't even get me started on Rivet's play.
What happen to the post of the new player signing?
