Beaudry Released; Brodeur Capable of Playing

April 5, 2009 - By

Miguel Beaudry packed his equipment after the game when he was told thanks for being the backup and that he was being released from the Rochester Americans.  He’ll be on his way back to Rapid City to spend the summer.  Beaudry was called up on April 2nd when the Amerks needed a backup due to an injury to Mike Brodeur.  Beaudry was here simply for support in case anything happened to David Shantz.

Beaudry knew the chances of playing were slim, but he was happy to be given the opportunity saying, “My season was over, helped to extend it a little bit and helps work on my game when I get back there.”

This all means that Mike Brodeur is feeling well enough to either play or at least be capable of backing up Shantz for the last three games of the season.  We’ll try and find out more on Tuesday at practice.

The Rochester Americans have called up goaltender Miguel Beaudry from the Rapid City Rush of the Central Hockey League. Apparently my April Fools Day post wasn’t that far fetched, except they went with someone other than Chris Beckford-Tseu.  The 26 year old goaltender finished this season in the CHL with a 16-20-6 record with a 3.30 GAA and 0.904 save percentage.  Including the 08/09 season, Beaudry has spent the past seven season in the CHL and five prior to that in the OHL (source).

Tyler Plante is finished for the season.  Mike Brodeur has not skated since Friday but is expected to practice on Thursday.  David Shantz was called up from the Dayton Bombers.  Bob Janosz (goalie coach) has been the 2nd goalie in practice this week.  In case Brodeur can’t play on Friday the Amerks needed someone other than the coach to suit up.

The only real meaning left for the final six games would be to beat the Syracuse Crunch the three times the two teams play and try to hurt their playoff chances.  Otherwise with the goaltender situation it’s a good thing the Amerks aren’t playoff contenders at all.
