Seven-Ten Split, French Style

Today's goalie-licious post is 21-year-old Adrien Lemay from the ECHL Idaho Steelheads.

French-Canadian Lemay made his professional debut with the Florida Everblades last season, so featuring him on Going Five-Hole is extra nostalgic for miss Lady Byng.

If goaltending doesn't pan out, we bet he could one-up that little twig gymnast Shawn Johnson for the 2012 Olympics. Or maybe they should just date, their kids would be the human equivalent of Gumby.

(Big thanks to Ross for, yet again, making opening our email something we look forward to)

Before joining the Steelheads, the Quebec native appeared in 20 games for the Allen Americans of the CHL, with a couple of call-ups to the AHL Texas Stars. In net for the Americans, he registered a save percentage of 0.887 with a GAA of 3.31.

In his three games in Idaho, he's improved to a .921 SV% with 2.21 GAA.

And because everyone loves a goalie superstition, here's a video of Lemay in an Everblades sweater warming up against the (then-ECHL) Charlotte Checkers last season.

Dishy Goalie Monday- Dan Ellis

It's trade deadline day and here on DGM we're going to focus on one of our favourite casualties. On February 24th Dan Ellis was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Curtis McElhinney (who TPA waived and was picked up by OTT today).

Ellis who is now the starter in Anaheim as Jonas Hiller overcomes

a case of vertigo, visited SW Florida during the Lightnings' team trip.

The Lightning came to the Naples/Ft. Myers area and managed to squeeze practice into a hectic schedule of golf and team bonding.

Practice yielded some delicious photos of the bendy Ellis.

Now Ellis has had some issues in the past with social media, but overall I think he gets an unnecessarily bad rap. Seriously, how can you hate on that!
