Left wing J.S. Berube has been reassigned to the Albany Devils on loan from Trenton, and left wing Myles Stoesz has been sent to the ECHL team, the New Jersey Devils announced today.

I'm happy to see Berube get the call up, he's been putting up points in Trenton. 16 GP 2 G 11 A 13 Pts +3 26 PIM 4.65 SH%

Defenseman Matt Taormina, who currently is with New Jersey, has been selected as the Albany Devils’ representative to the American Hockey League’s all-star game Jan. 31 in Atlantic City.

The selection of an NHL player such as Taormina, who had four goals and eight assists in 23 games for Albany, is not unusual for the AHL game. If Taormina is still with New Jersey the week of the game, the AHL will request permission to allow him to go. Since the NHL’s all-star break virtually coincides with the AHL’s, permission generally is granted.

Just got home form the game at the Scope. Wow! Down 4-0 going into the 3rd, they forechecked their way way, pulled Frazee, Millsy won the draw clean back to kelly to Gelinas, thread the needle why don't you. And scored on a pp in OT. Admiral fans obviously pissed, (thought the trip was bs of course-) you see who the go to guys are. 2 lines and 4 d the whole OT period. I watched everybody and here's my assessment;

Best D men- Urbominator/Gelinas/Kelly/Harrold weak- Burlon (turnover machine-dear in the head lights- Sova-had a horrible game-
Forwards- Hoefful/Palmieir-Nagy, played greart in 3rd Anderson centered Villeux(sp)Whitney (he played pt on pp-homey can shoot) Gionta, Mills and Perkovich and 4th line had Berube (couldn't keep up)

Overall, I was needless ot say bummed and planned on leaving halfway htrough the 3rd, but we scored, early exit still on. Couple minutes later boom another. The bench erupted and all around me people were beginning to feel Oh Sh>t moment like this game was in the bag, and started yelling at the players. I was proud of my boys tonight. Wish I could go tommorw night.

Gelinas has a funny way of skating, but has very good wheels. Kinda "bowl legged" but very quick as is Urbom. Both mobile. Sislo was a healthy scratch and I was hoping to see him play.

[Anhkheg]

Any injury update on Bernier? Haven't heard about him in sometime, has he started skating yet with the team?

The last info I could find was from a December 29 report that said he has a smaller cast on his thumb (broke on December 4) but was still a few weeks away from returning.

Pronger skates bowlegged as well and was pretty mobile early in his career so I have no problem with this. I have yet to see him score many with his slap shot which is very heavy.
