Despite a Goal Differential of -6, SC is 10th in the East in scoring (103), 7th in GA (109) and just 2 points from a playoff spot near the season's midway point.

A Roster Divided

Post-Lockout has ECHL scrambling to fill spots as Titans lead the way.

When Paul Holmgren told Randy Miller of the Courier Post that the Titans roster was "probably going to suffer the most", little did he know that was a conservative estimate, and all in just 3 days.

Already having lost Marcel Noebels, Ian Slater and Blake Kessel in call-ups to Adirondack (AHL), soon to follow when the lockout ended were Matt Mangene, Andrew Johnston and Shane Harper (F) and Tyler Hostetter (D).

Before them defenseman Eric Baier found himself going back a mile from his college when the Providence Bruins grabbed him.

The first to go was fellow D-man Ryan Grimshaw. Though more than deserving of the chance, the call for him to go to Torono caught some by surprise. More will probably get the call. As for those who have left, while the Titans want them back, here's hoping they stick in the "A" for quite some time.
