The Condors have continued their torrid pace of a week ago and find themselves in second place in their division, three back of the Barracudas.
Huge thanks going out to Elite Prospects for providing us with one of their premium accounts.
Onto the news:
Yamamoto and Spooner sent down – The Waiver wire earlier in the week for Spooner was the sign that this was happening.
Peter Chiarelli fired – The GM of the Edmonton Oilers was fired.
Caleb Jones sent down – After starring with the Oilers in his first taste of the NHL.
Rattie and Spooner waived – The wild week started out with this strange move.
