That is AWESOME!!! Go Jordan!!! Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba!

This is a good opportunity for Big Siggy. He really wasn't getting much PT down in Providence.

I see he played one game in Providence. If he saw so little action in the minors how can he get called up to the NHL? Wouldn't you think the guy that gets the most playing time in the minors would have the best shot at moving up?

I'm guessing it's probably a matter of options, or more likely, the "two-way contract". If the other goalie in Providence has a two-way deal, he'll make considerably more for being on the Bruins roster. No sense paying him that much more if he's just going to keep the bench warm for Fernandez' return. If Fernandez is out longer, I wouldn't be surprised to see the starter at Providence called up for extended duty. (Which might not be bad for Jordan to get more starting time in Providence.)

Of course, I really hope I'm way off base and he gets a chance to add to his 43 seconds of NHL experience.

According to the Bruins board, it was done for cap reasons.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Awesome news!! GOOD LUCK JORDAN!!!!!

Depending on the Bruins Schedule my guess is Thomas will get the brunt of the load, Ill be watching to see what happens.

There's a story about him on NHL.com... though it looks like the usual "Hey look, he has MS!" story from two years ago with the call-up information tacked on.

That and he played at some school called "Bowling State".

I saw that! I should have gone to that school, it sounds like so much more fun than BGSU. I mean, I had to go to classes (occasionally) and take exams and stuff... I don't recall a whole lot of bowling.

I also liked the typo toward the end of the story: "The two bothers played for Providence..." If they're so annoying, Providence can ship them to Cleveland or Grand Rapids.

They'd have to ship them to "Lake Erie"...wish they would so that I could enjoy that team!

I don't think Siggy's gonna see the ice at all. Thomas has played well for the B's up to this point, and when Fernandez comes back they can surely give Timmy a break.

I think Boston went the other way

I dot think it says siggy is not good, but from the interview it sounds like this kid is the future of the bruins.

Yes, Tuuka Rask is the future of the Bruins. He is amazing now. I will continue to cringe at every save he makes in his career knowing that My Leafs trading his for ANDREW RED LIGHT RAYCROFT!!!!
