Peters recalled from Albany
Submitted by chipalexander on 11/18/2009 - 10:25
The Hurricanes have called up goaltender Justin Peters from the Albany River Rats (AHL) and reassigned forward/defenseman Tim Conboy to the River Rats.
Peters' recall comes after a lower-body injury to goaltender Michael Leighton in the second period of the Canes' 3-2 shootout loss Tuesday in Montreal.Manny Legace replaced Leighton with the Canes leading 2-1.
Goaltender Cam Ward still is healing from a leg laceration suffered Nov. 7 at Columbus and may not be available for another couple of weeks.
Peters, 23, is 6-5-2 in Albany this season with a 2.43 goals-against average and .913 save percentage.

Who would have thought a
Wed, 11/18/2009 - 12:32 — wxray1Who would have thought a week ago after signing Manny we'd be talking about Peters.
Wow, just wow. And there's a non-zero chance he may get a shot. 7 games in the next 12 days.
Peters

It might be a little cheaper than messing around with paying Peters at the AHL vs NHL salary. Hopefully Peters can get some games in.
Be careful what you wish for

At the rate we are going through goalies, I hope Peters doesn't get a chance to play unless it is for one of the back-to-back games after Thanksgiving. I hope Manny plays well and stays healthy.
I agree

I hope we don't see him either, except to open the door. No way Tripp Tracey is an option ( I do see the humor !) but that would about be a good representation of the season to see him in goal when the puck drops! This will be good for Peters even if he doesn't get in a game. He'll get the experiance of being up with the big club. Unless Legace sticks as a backup long term Peters in the next in line behind Leighton. Say what you will about that.

Conboy
Wed, 11/18/2009 - 10:53 — GoShelfI wish we'd do a better job of managing him. I hate when we put him in the lineup and give him 2 minutes. Either cut him loose or play him. It's hard to justify putting him in the lineup, sitting him basically the whole game when our other forwards are completely gased the last 5 minutes of 3rd period. I realize our forwards are depleted, but we don't have the youth to roll 3 lines for 3 periods. If a guy is the lineup he needs to play or he should't be there in the first place.

He never has been a skilled player but he has been versatile. This season he seems to have sorta gone over the edge, that fighting is his raison-de-etre, rather than a by-product of playing ON the edge. He doesn't know anymore when to pick a scrap nor with whom. And too often loses. When he gets a five-for-fighting, it doesn't much hurt the team as he hasn't brought anything else needed while he's cooling his heels. He remained up more because he is "cheap" but Mo doesn't trust him very much for 'value-added'.
As for your, "or he shouldn't be there...", he's not, he's gone.
I agree
Thu, 11/19/2009 - 10:46 — GoShelfSince Mo doesn't trust him I just don't see any point to having him there, I mean he played 2 minutes on tuesday, seems like a waste of a roster spot.
