Morrison Up, Joey Mac Down, Hillen to make NHL debut

Heh, I know you guys love the long titles. Good thing is, it describes everything I need to say, so I don't need to write much in the post.

But, I'll write anyway.

I guess Nolan can never be satisfied with a backup, as now Mike Morrison is with the team and Joey MacDonald is down to Bridgeport.

Matt Keith, who was acquired in a trade early in the season that gave the Anaheim Ducks Darryl Bootland, will play his second game with the Isles tonight against the Rangers. He made his debut on Tuesday, getting 1 shot on goal.

Jack Hillen, who agreed to terms with the Isles earlier this week, will make his NHL debut tonight. He was the Defensive Player Of The Year this year in NCAA Division 1 Hockey, with 6 goals and 31 assists.

The lines tonight may look something like this:

20 Sean Bergenheim - 63 Josef Vasicek - 13 Bill Guerin
81 Miro Satan - 51 Frans Nielsen - 7 Trent Hunter
57 Blake Comeau - 10 Richard Park - 21 Kyle Okposo
37 Kip Brennan - 72 Jeremy Colliton - 27 Matt Keith


38 Jack Hillen - 24 Radek Martinek
44 Freddy Meyer - 3 Rob Davison
4 Bryan Berard - 49 Drew Fata

34 Wade Dubielewicz
33 Mike Morrison

Let's Go Isles!!!
