Winch assigned to Bingo for conditioning stint

Winch has been assigned to Bingo for a conditioning stint...

http://www.ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/2009/10/23/11504386.html

Two-weeks.

That's good. Nothing wrong with that.

He didn't have to clear waivers for this though right?

Oh, injury for Michalek. That sucks! Hopefully he's okay and it's a minor thing.

I believe "conditioning stints" are waiver exempt.

Yeah, Michalek may be out of the line-up for Saturday. We'll see. If he is, Donovan will be suit up in his place.

More from the Citizen:

Spezza - bumps and bruises
Michalek - upper body injury, not sure how serious
Leclaire - flu

Walking wounded indeed...

Elliott expected to be in goal Sat night.

Spezza expected to play Sat but Michalek and Leclaire are doubtful.

Clouston post-practice presser from today:

Main points:
- Leclaire - little bit sick, flu, give him the day off, not sure about Sat. night
- Spezza - he'll be ready for Saturday night
- Michalek - upper body, possible for Sat. night
- Winch - two week conditioning stint in Bingo to get ready to return
- Kuba - skated more today, more intense - hopefully next full practice he'll be ready to skate with the team

Boo hoo hoo Michalek. Dung.

I hope Michalek is good to go. He didn't seem to have anything wrong during the game.

This is a good thing for Bingo. They need a some help. They are not playing well, and Winnie should offer some 2 way help. I'm really intrigued to see what he can do in Bingo.

Winnie has played a pair of games for Bingo, amassing 1G, 1A and a +2 rating in those two games. Bingo won one, and lost the other in OT.

Good for Winnie

Although we got no room on the roster for him, someone is going to have to sit or be traded.

Oh really, I missed that, good stuff. We all know how good a player Winchester is and how he's going to draw back into the lineup at some point. Good on him for going down there and not being a -10 (yeah, Cody Bass, I'm looking at you).
