No Comeau, No Palmiscno, No Chance

The shorthanded Red Army was beat 4-1 last night against Gerrell's. The Army couldn't muster any offense without their top 2 scorers, Kurt Comeau and Steve Palmiscno. Both are out with injuries. Palmiscno had surgery on his arm after accidentally getting his hand in front of the bonless wing plate that was sitting in front of Steve Olson last week at Grizzlies. Palmiscno suffered damage similar to Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and will be out until after the Christmas break. This is a big disappointment for Palmiscno, "I was really looking forward in playing in the 40 and over World Championships that are being held with the World Juniors. I was going to play with Mike Modano and Pat Lafontaine." Comeau was also expected to play in the tourney but a hang nail will kep him out of action for possibly a month. The only other member of the Army on the 40 and over team is Lance Norman. Lance his lit it up the last 3 weeks and is Palmiscno's replacement. "It will be an honor to put on the Red, White and Blue." Unknown to Norman, his citizenship was rejected by the U.S. and traded to Latvia. More on this story next week.
