News that may affect AEROS

Russo writes that Benoit Pouliot was traded to Canadiens for Guillaume Latendresse, born in St. Catherines ONT, in 1987 ,6ft2, shoots left, drafted#48 in 2005 in 2nd round. Stats below:

2003-04 Drummondville Voltigeurs QMJHL 53 24 25 49 66

2004-05 Drummondville Voltigeurs QMJHL 65 29 49 78 76 6 6 4 10 7

2005-06 Drummondville Voltigeurs QMJHL 51 43 40 83 105 5 3 2 5 8

2007-08 Montreal Canadiens NHL 73 16 11 27 41 8 0 1 1 19

2008-09 Montreal Canadiens NHL 56 14 12 26 45 4 0 0 0 12

2009-10 Montreal Canadiens NHL 23 2 1 3 4

NHL Totals 232 48 37 85 137

Which leaves me to wonder which of "our" guys will be flying North? Veterans Clayton Stoner, Jaime Sifers, or the youngster Justin Falk? Former Aeros John Scott (by the way also a St. Catherines boy would make Latendresse welcome) will be in the lineup to fill in for Burns.

Transplant to Florida, Barry Brust appears to have made good impression (he's out of Aeros uniform LOL)as he was reported back on the ice for practice , after missing Thursday, Friday and Saturday and seem to be full-go today with possibly in goal on Wednesday at Wheeling.
During and Everblades simulated shootout drill, Brust stopped eight of the nine shots he faced. And that shows real improvement for Barry.

This is for CatTrick, still a fervent Locke fan and others:

And former Aeros Corey Locke is now (as of Nov. 23) the leader in AHL , chalking up six points (2-4-6) in the three games, including two goals and two assists in Thursday’s win, to become the first AHL player this year to hit the 30-point mark (11-19-30 in 20 GP). They really love him in Hartford, here he is poster boy for tickets sales:

Now to NON hockey happenings:

Am in the process of 'making an appointment' to be introduced to "CHAT, LE ROI" at friend M's....'Le Roi (Jericho) est mort, vive le roi (Lalloo)!" Per reports he is looking remarkably like an reincarnation of Jericho, just thinner.

This is not exactly LALLOO's song, but'll have to do ;-) ;-)

No more hockey until December 3 at 11:05 AM AEROS vs RAMPAGE. 1000's of screaming kids will be louder than any cowbells....LOL. Bring earplugs ...if you dare to come.
And no more opera, except for the HGO Studio Showcase performances Dec 11 and 12, or the recitals at RIENZI. Info on that via houstongrandopera.org
