 A former Admiral is making a good impression in the NHL so far in this young season. After being sent to the AHL at the conclusion of training camp, Simon Gamache was called up to the Maple Leafs after one game with the Marlies.
After three games, he has two goals and two assists, with a point in every game. Monday night, he scored against Buffalo's Jocelyn TeaBag in a nationally televised game on Versus.
Those of you who watched that game, or saw him mentioned on a sports highlights show (yeah, right), you may notice the announcers pronouncing his first name "Sigh-mon" instead of "Sih-moan". At first, I thought it was a mistake by the announcers, but they are right. Gamache decided last month to change how his name is pronounced.
After a blistering season in the Swiss league last year (20 goals and 46 assists in 44 games), he decided to give it another shot at earning an NHL paycheck. After getting called up last week, he told the Canadian press that he did not come back to North America to play in the minors.
I wish the quirky little dude luck at sticking with the Leafs. It's always great to see former Admirals perform well in the NHL.
In other former Admirals updates... Sheldon Brookbank has yet to play for the Devils, as the team has eight defenseman on it's roster. Randy Robitaille was signed by Ottawa this week. Philadelphia's Scottie Upshall broke his wrist in preseason and is expected back in a few weeks.
