Hunwick on an NHL Bench Tonight
Well I have an inside informant who just received a text which said that Shawn Hunwick will be dressed and on the Columbus Blue Jackets bench tonight. Apparently a goalie went down and he is going to be dressed as the backup versus the Wings tonight.
Feel free to neg me mercilessly because you doubt my source, but just remember to come back and heap praise upon me for breaking the news!
Seeing him on the same team as JMFJ got me curious and it turns out Hunwick is only four months younger than him despite JMFJ's college career ending seemingly forever ago. Not sure if anyone else cares, but odd how college hockey can have two guys the same age and have one play through 2012 and the other through 2007.
Hopefully you have a great career in the NHL against 28 of the 29 teams you will face.
Wolverines teammate Lee Moffie (@ljmoffie) offered some words of encouragement via Twitter: "I wouldn't get too excited about @shawn_hunwick dressing in Columbus tonight, the chances of his '86 Ranger making it there are slim to none."
Michigan goalie mask, FTW. Suck it, Columbus.
Almost got me to make the 19 mile trip downtown to see the game. Almost. The Jackets are just awful...
Alas, Hunwick not playing, and Red Wings losing (so far). D'oh!
