Practice Observation- 1/3/13

Spent a few minutes at practice this morning and had a few observations:

- A big crowd was at practice today. Nice job by Tommy Daniels to publicize practice while the kids are out of school. The kids were able to ask the players questions and get autographs. Nice touch!

- Mike Montgomery was skating with the team and participated in most drills. His return is still a ways off but it was good to see him on the ice.

- Brett Skinner looks ready to go and should be in the lineup for at least one game this weekend.

- Based on what I saw at practice looks like Jarret Lukin will get the coveted spot on the Maiani, Bootland line replacing Scotty Howes who has been recalled by the Springfield Falcons of the AHL.

- Rumor has it there might be a couple of announcements later today.

-  A couple of comments the coaches have made the last couple of  days in various forums. Brian McMillin is the best penalty killer on the team & whoever is on the Maiani line seems to score.

- The cold/flu/congestion bug that is prevalent all over has also struck the hockey team. Some guys with low energy by their own admission but everyone will be ready for Tulsa on Friday.
