Devils call up Leach and Davis

The Devils called up defenseman Jay Leach and right wing Patrick Davis from Lowell today on an emergency basis.

I don't know if that means that Brian Gionta and Bryce Salvador won't play tonight, yet. I'll post an update when I get one.

At least it's not Tallackson...
I don't know much about either players, but they'll probably get 5 minutes of ice time anyway.

I've been called Up on an Emergency Basis...just hung up with Lou and heading into Newark now.

[Jeff]

Called up who????? Wow never had to look this deep into our farm club.

[LuziferDevs]

can we start Frazee so he gets injured and no one else?

i mean we are truly screwed...

[Kevin]

hey folks, I dont know about the rest of you, but I have never even heard of these guys... This could be the season they dont make it I suppose but no one in their right mind could have anticipted this type of disaster.

[mikeford]

wel, Leach is the captain of Lowell, so I have heard of him. He is by no means a prospect, he is very old (29). Davis on the other hand I have no idea about.

[L-Zig]

They both had a good game last night playing Bridgeport.

Davis had 2 goals.

[Mike C]

Where is my boy Pelley? That dude can throw some mean body checks. Does anyone know if he is injured?

[Merms]

Davis is almost 23 and has 5 G and 6 P in 11 games in Lowell. Neither player is anything spectacular.

yes, Leach > Brookbank. Everyone > Brookbank

[DevilsFan38]

Yes, Pelley is injured, he has missed the last few games in Lowell.

[HeyNow]

Pelley has been scratched the last 2 nights (i was at the bridgeport game yesterday and my sister was at the pengins game friday night) So i dont know if that means an injury or what...

Davis had 2 nice goals yesterday, and Leach is a solid D man. so if they are needed, they'll do fine

[Prokat]

Leach old at 29? Geeze some of us now have our feelings hurt. Time to crack open another beer. I Only have a certain amount left to consume at my age.
He is a good player but just below NHL level.
He's gritty and is a decent D man.
He isn't very big but his heart is smarter than his head sometimes.
I've seen him play a few times.

[LuziferDevs]

could we not call up Vasyunov... he has 2 goals yesterday too..
this game is getting scary...

[Shari]

I'm thinking we all know what this means about who is not playing tonight. Geeze!

[rob]

Holy crap... just to keep track, it looks like we now have 5 rookies playing tonight. 5!!!

Vrana
Salmela
Bergfors
Leach
Davis

Injury count is through the roof: Brodeur, Martin, Gionta, Salvador, Greene, Holik, Rolston, Halischuk, Tallackson... Am I missing anyone?

If we can win, the Oilers are pathetic...

[steve]

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the ice, your Lowell Devils!!!

[BishopQ]

what fans will be recalled on an emergency basis tonight?

[Robbie]

Forgot about Leblond

[LuziferDevs]

can we just switch the teams... let the usual new jersey devils line up play for lowell on tueday

and the lowell devils can play for us tonight?

i think it wud help our team a lot.

[Kelly]

so 29 is the new 70? A little harsh ;). At least I can call my fiance old (even though he's 2 years older than I am). I plan on laughin at him when he turns 30 in 4 years just for the simple fact he's 30... haha.

I thought last nights game went pretty well, minus the scoring department. Weeksie should have had a few of those goals but you can't blame him for the loss. It's almost like they wanted to play at the Wings level of play (skill-wise) but just couldn't get the puck in the net. I wasn't mad at their effort at all. I hope they continue their efforts against the Oil and score a little more tonight.
