Cloutier quotes
Clouts looked pretty good today. Allowed one bad goal but then came up big in the shootout.
``It was better. It's going take a little bit of time for me to get back to where I want to be but tonight I did feel better than last game, which is a good sign. I felt my movement from side to side was a lot better''.
``My hip is feeling pretty good. I think coming in the first couple practices it didn’t feel so great but as training camp is coming along, it's feeling good in practice. I had some great saves in both games and also had goals I should have had, so it’s getting there. It’s frustrating but I’m sure now that we're going to be cutting down again I'll get to see more NHL guys on a regular basis, which is good for a goaltender.''
On final save in shootout: ``I actually bit a little bit too much on his move but that’s just one of those things that you don’t give up and you try to throw any part of your body there. He happened to throw it in my glove, which was nice.''

Not a 100% yet? Maybe he could/should start the season in Manchester until he feels 100%?
Yeah, didn't we hear this from him last year, telling the media he wasn't at 100%? We could clearly see it, but Crawford refused to take notice. Let the guy get his legs back down in the AHL, like most teams normally do.
Hmmm...send him down to Manchester, when he gets to 100% and we try to call him up we risk losing him on re-entry waivers...hey, wait a minute...that just might work...
