Killington a victim of his own Buzzkill

Star Goaltender Buzz Killington took a nasty spill last night at Firefighting Hockey. His right knee buckled and was carried off the ice. Early speculations are a torn ACL, and could cost him the entire season on the IR.

No official status of Killington's injury has been issued yet. The Daily Whaler will keep a close eye on this incident, and will keep an update on any other developments.

Right now it looks like Boytanio will have to hold down the fort in net until the Killington can make a full recovery.

Management has decided to sign Ed(Coldplay's older and more talented brother) on a loaner deal to play this Tuesday for the season opener. Both sides are still working on a contract extension for the entire season.

With the addition of Ed for this Tuesday, the roster has 2 solid defensive lines, with 2 supporting lines of offense. Management has made the following statement

"Ed is a great defensive player that can allow JD to move to one of the inadequate offensive lines. We are still very concern of the recent injury of Buzz Killington, but we think that Boytanio can provide us with outstanding goaltending. We've heard the concerns from Montel about his shorten shifts, but as of now we have 8 skaters and a goalie, so no playing time will be cut. "

With all of the pre-season drama, it looks like a very eventful season.
