Yeah there are highlights, check the bingo season thread.

Today's goal was a nice tip on Dacostas shot, yesterdays was a nice rip on the rush with Dacosta and the other was basically behind the net and throwing off the goalie'sback.

Glad to see his getting rid of the snakes and the monkeys.

My thoughts are: please stay healthy.

Liking this progression.

He is not average. This guy has tons of talent. He's very noticable. He will have a good NHL career.

goals in three straight and they have won one of those games. big deal. it is like hitting a one run homerun down 15-0 in baseball.

As in: being the only player to contribute offensively?

We clearly missed that much needed insight, from the best HF poster!

Lol yes because losing 3-2 with your top 3 defenseman top 2 goalies and top point scorer taken off the team is exactly like loosing 15-0

Bump. The guy just earned himself a call-up to the sens. Hard work pays off.

[SD19]

Knew it !!

[BK201]

Wouldn't mind seeing him up here but me thinks the sens brass want to keep him down and develope because if the recent injuries.

[dan1el]

Very excited about his call-up. Where do you guys see him playing Tuesday?

I suppose it depends on whether Alfie is playing. If he is, then Zib will probably find himself on the third line with Smith and Greening. If not, they'll probably move Silf back to the first and put Zib on the second with Turris and Latendresse.

[Officer Farva]

Wouldn't be surprised if he is just here to practice and be with the team while the AHL is on it's All-Star break.

[SenzZen]

I can't help thinking this is a pretty strong indication that Alfie won't be playing.

Looking forward to seeing Mika with the big boys. Predicting outrage when he doesn't score a goal on his first shift.

[SD19]

Sorry if it's a noob question, but when Renaud Lavoie and media people call it a "Call up" usually it is to play? cause if not he couldn't be here just to skate without making an announcement about it?

[Johnny Hanson]

Not a fan of this callup, there are others more deserving. First round treatment

Not at an official team practice.

Just means that he has been re-called from Bingo to Ottawa. He is now apart of the roster and can be used in games, which is usually the case, but seeing as he would be on a break in the AHL with no hockey and recently getting over an injury the sens may just want him up skating.

Although like others have said, could mean Alfie isn't ready to go tomorrow.

i got the flu the same time Alfy did. You couldn't pay me to play in this condition.

Would you callup an injured player?

Would you callup a centre when a winger is needed?

Zbad is the right callup in this case
