Re: RPI Pros V

Springfield Falcons are now 2-0.

McElhinney was in net for both games, with Dainton dressed as his backup.

Allen York apparently was not in uniform for either game.

Wonder if the Blue Jackets are planning to have Yorkie shuffle between the AHL and ECHL again this year.

Allen was in attendance at the RPI games this weekend - saw him Friday night walking around.

I saw him Friday night as well. He was with his grandparents but I did not see him Saturday. I also saw Matt Murley Saturday night after the game so I'm assuming he was at the game but don't know that for sure.

Per Nashville Predators' defenseman Jon Blum on Twitter, Jeff Foss is having season-ending knee surgery today. I'd heard he was hurt, but hadn't known how. Hopefully he has a good recovery and can play next year.

I saw that Murley wasn't on the Timra (Swedish Elite League) roster for this year nor on any Swedish team's roster. Has he hung up the skates? I'll throw this out there for those that were wondering....I was told Sat. night that Chase Polacek is done playing hockey. His choice.

Thanks...good to know. That's a shame, I'll miss those goals, but hopefully like Brutlag he's found something he enjoys more.

I had heard that as well about Chase. Has anyone heard if J Smith is not playing in Europe anymore? Saw something on twitter that made it seem like he was back on this side of the world.

Thanks, I didn't even know Smitty had gone on to the pro ranks. He was with EHC Neuwide..... http://www.eliteprospects.com/playersearch2.php This is an excerpt from their website from a game played 9/23/12, whether he's still with them, I don't know..........The EHC Neuwied has lost the last test before the start of the league season when fellow competitors Hamm with 9:2 (2:0, 2:1, 5:1).
The goals for Neuwied scored as two new Vyacheslav Tokarev and Justin Smith. More soon here.

This tidbit was in the USCHO ECAC report (alumni section):

Former RPI forward Chase Polacek has two goals in two games for the Alaska Aces of the ECHL.

However, upon checking the Aces' and ECHL website, Polacek is not listed on the roster, and does not show up on the stats page.

His name didn't appear in either of the game recaps, either.

I think the issue might be that Chase's hockeydb page (don't ask why his name is Chace, not Chase) has the most recent line as 2 goals in 2 games played for the Aces. If you don't check carefully enough, you won't realize that that's for the 2011-12 season.

According to his twitter account, his surgery went well yesterday.

Most knee surgery is very effective and easy to predict recovery. There are of course the few cases that are more complicated but for the most part knees do well. i would expect Jeff to be back at full strength rather quickly. If it season ending it most likely is ACL or PCL-medial and lateral ligament surgery respoonds so well that most people are back at full strength within 4 weeks.

Yeah, he was loaned to the Aces for a point last year before he was injured and had two goals in two games.
