Rypien playing his first NHL game tonight...

[Fight Guy]

And scores on his first shot. Congrats to Rick. Hope he keeps it up and burries his chances.

And for 'rebel39' from the call up thread...Rypien is in "The Show".

[Pats11]

Great to see that, he's gonna leave quite the impression on the coaches!! A couple nice hits and a goal.

[Fight Guy]

Not only did he score a goal in his first game...but doing flips? Thats amazing. Haha...thanks to being hip checked and going head over heals.

Rypien has being playing great for the Moose since being called up half way through last year. It was just a matter of time before the Canucks gave him a chance.

Hope he keeps it up. It is always nice to see a good kid make the most of a opportunity.

I heard on the radio that Rypien broke his leg...

[Fight Guy]

Yep...sounds like tis true. Tough break for him after playing fairly well.
