When Peter Lowry scored twice in the Fire's 2-2 draw Sunday with Columbus, you couldn't blame the midfielder for wanting to soak it all in. It's not too often the 24-year-old gets a start, let alone scores two goals.
"I was pretty excited," the Santa Clara University product said. "It's pretty rare that something like that happens."
No matter how much Lowry's performance may have surprised, his coaches and teammates are adamant that it was only a matter of time for the 2008 second-round pick.
Also this may be a joke but according to his Wiki entry he had gills as a child.
When Peter was born doctors were amazed to discover he was born with gills. Until the age of 7 Peter was able to breath under water for short periods of time. His gills have since stopped function and have been surgically removed.
On to the Hawks. Injuries causing major pains for young team.
Kris Versteeg went down in the first game with what the club calls an upper-body injury. He hasn't practiced with his teammates since. Adam Burish suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament while crashing into the boards in the second game. He needs surgery and won't play again until March.
On Wednesday, Jack Skille suffered a lower-body injury after playing barely three minutes.
''It's not serious,'' said coach Joel Quenneville, who added that the full medical report wasn't in yet. Skille is the next in line for Burish's spot on the Hawks' fourth line.
''He was having another good game,'' Quenneville said. ''He was one of the top guys in the first period.''
With Marian Hossa out until November after shoulder surgery and Dustin Byfuglien recovering from a groin injury, the Hawks are trying all sorts of forward combinations. They recalled Bryan Bickell and Rob Klinkhammer from Rockford for practice Thursday and put forward Danny Bois and defenseman Richard Petiot on waivers. Petiot, though, participated in the workout Thursday at the United Center.
