The End of an Error
As a Canucks fan, I feel relief and bitter joy knowing that Dan Cloutier has been sent down to the AHL. And it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that it reads like an obituary.
Unfortunately, the Manchester Monarchs do not meet the Manitoba Moose during regular season play this year.
LOS ANGELES (CP) -- The Los Angeles Kings assigned goalie Dan Cloutier to the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League on Saturday.
The 31-year-old played in 24 games with the Kings last season, going 6-14-2 with a 3.98 goals-against average.
He's posted a 137-139-36 record with a 2.75 GAA in 342 career games with L.A., Vancouver, Tampa Bay and the New York Rangers.
Unfortunately, the Manchester Monarchs do not meet the Manitoba Moose during regular season play this year.

Re: The hit on McAmmond by Downie.........I would agree the hit to McAmmond was very hard and it is never a good thing to see someone get injured playing hockey. The point I want to make here is this; those are the type of hits that real hockey is all about. Hockey where you have to keep your head up or you may pay the price. The price you pay is ultimate punishment which usually leads to a yard sale. This is the hockey that is played in the small town hockey rinks all over Canada and the USA. If this were my hometown, Downie would have been a saint. (Not literally) It was a shoulder to shoulder hit and McAmmond was looking to see if he scored instead of keeping his head up for the more than expected hit coming his way. That’s hockey.

I completely agree. Downey's hit was dirty though, he was about 6 feet in the air. But you're damn right if you're head is down its open season.
The first thing any kid learns about hockey is "Keep your head up, and you're stick on the ice". This is basically the only reason that Scott Stevens was one of the most entertaining hockey players out there. If he saw a guy skating up the ice and not paying attention... GOOD-NIGHT!
