In an effort to beef up the roster, and stop getting pushed up and down the ice every night, Lowell added two tough guys this week. Lee Jacobson and Scott Kelman we both signed to PTO agreements by the club. It couldn’t have come at a better time, as Lowell has Norfolk and Albany over the weekend. Jacobson I have heard of, but who the hell is Scott Kelman? Anyone with any knowledge of the man, please, come forward. In typical Lowell fashion, the boys are probably being fitted with the glove tie downs, and combing over the Monsters code of conduct. Quick excerpt: "No Lowell player will engage is fisticuffs, as it can be hurtful to another man’s self esteem." Good seats are still available.

Best DeNiro Voice: I heard Things
For those of you that have been following Goonblog for a while now, you know I follow hockey pretty closely. That is to say, I am slightly obsessed with it. OK, fine, it's my reason for being. Having said that, there are two teams I follow with closer attention than others. The Boston Bruins in the NHL, and the AHL Lowell Devils. I haven't followed the Devils as much in the last couple of years because I hate the Devils, and they seemed to have sucked the fun out of the Tsongas Center in a manne...

The Lowell Devils get me every year. Last season they promised they'd be more up tempo, and toughnot your father's Lowell Devils I believe was the quote. They were up tempo and decent. On Opening Night. This season, it is the press release I saw today where the Devils have signed AHL tough guy Louis Robitaille to a contract.
Louis Robitaille should be no stranger to Lowell hockey fans going back to the Lockmonster days. He was part of the three headed monster that was Mad Mel Angelstad, Louis...

It's been killing me to have to write something positive about the New Jersey Devils, but here goes. The Devils have resigned one of my favorite tough guys, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-LeBlond. PL3 as he's known to his friends was one of the only reasons to watch the perennially dreadful Lowell Devils last season. He and Matthew Corrente appeared to be the only ones willing to drop the mitts, with PL3 taking on some serious customers. I've seen him get his blocked knocked off by Brad Staubitz, and I'v...

George and I had very little to do yesterday. Well, actually, that's kind of a blanket statement. Anyway, we decided to use the Flex Tickets we get as part of our Bruins Season Tickets and take the boys down to the all new look Dunkin Donuts center for the Baby B's tilt against the Manchester Monarchs.
I hadn't been there since MOL and I braved a blizzard when she was supposed to be doing homework to see Trevor Gillies in action when he was with the Springfield Falcons. The building has been...
2009-04-07Rene Rancourt Spurs the Bruins to Victory! 03/22/09
The Goons were in attendance Sunday afternoon as the Bruins won the division and sent the Devils home with just a little egg on their face. We're convinced that Rene Rancourt was single-handedly responsible. Watch him gently rock all 16,000 of us.

It’s great to see Lee bounce back and then up to the A after that Worrell fight a couple of months ago. Hope to see him get some time up there. Expect him to drop the gloves while he’s there. He’s going to want to make an impact on his coach and his team. He was pretty active in Cincy last season (10 fights in about a month).
Kelman’s got a couple of FMs this year and a few last year, but he’s there to play a different game. Kelman’s joining his third AHL team this season.
Nice! Thanks David. It’ll be nice to see some guys willing to chuck em back in the line up.
Anton Babchuk got assigned to Lowell today. I wonder if that means Jacobson will get scratched?
