As long as he stays healthy Tyson “Sexy” Sexsmith(30) could be riding the pipes for the team to finish up the 2011 AHL playoff run for Worcester. He notched his first W of the season last Sunday vs. the Monarchs.

Since Sharks super-starter Alex Stalock(32) went down with season-ending injury and back-up backstop Carter Hutton(30) has been ushered up to the NHL to play sidekick to Antti Niemi while Antero Niittymaki heals, the goalie position in Worcester has been nothing short of a carousel of who’s who netminders.
Called up from the Dayton Gems of the Central Hockey League, Jeff Jakaitis(1) filled in decently getting 1 win in 3 starts.
Sharks‘ defensemen Sean Sullivan(37) and Mike Moore(8) share a laugh before the start of last Sunday afternoon’s game vs. the AHL Atlantic Division leading Manchester Monarchs, a game they won 5-2.
With Jay Leach traded to New Jersey before the deadline, Moore(8) recently, deservedly assumed the team captain spot for Worcester.

2008 Los Angeles draft pick (#13 overall), Colten Teubert(20) became trade bait for the Kings to land Dustin Penner from Edmonton.
Teubert will likely report to Oklahoma City and went from definitely playing hockey past early April to maybe not.
But still, what a trade deadline deal to be a part of.
Undrafted, third year P-Bruins‘ defenseman Jeff Penner(6) must have fallen off the Boston depth chart and will be lacing up the skates for Houston Aeros and maybe Minnesota Wild in the future as he was dealt at the trade deadline.
He played only 2 games for the B’s in the NHL.
The two top star awards from the Whale Bowl game, P-Bruins‘ Maxime Suave(7) and Jamie Arniel(12) walk off the outdoor ice for the final time after they claim their honors for their team’s 5-4 win in the shootout.
Moments later Max would push Jamie into the snowbanks that lined their path to the dressing room.
Lots of folks dump on Bruins‘ forward Michael Ryder(73) for a variety of reasons, but he’s having himself a good season to quiet down some of those performance/contract grumblings.
I saw him play early in his career in game 7 of the 2003 Calder Cup final with Hamilton at the Copps Coliseum. The Bulldogs lost that game to Houston Aeros 4-0.
In the deal that sent Blake Wheeler and Mark Stuart to Atlanta, the Bruins‘ grabbed defensive tower, 6’ 7″ Boris Valabik(22). He has played most of this season with Chicago Wolves and is famous in Boston for fighting fellow Slovak, Zdeno Chara. Here’s the fight link.
His first game in a P-Bruins‘ sweater happened to be the Whale Bowl.
Kris Newbury(11) is a pretty good fit in the New York Rangers system this year.
He’s spent most of the time in the AHL with the Whale but has also played 9 games with the Blueshirts registering 1 assist and 35 pims.
Whale defenseman Wade Redden(6) has his game face on while he walks his way to the Rentschler Field outdoor ice from the warmth of the team dressing room under the stadium.
