Winnipeg, Manitoba — The circle of reporters around Eric Comrie was huge after Tuesday’s morning skate, befitting a star player or someone making a grand announcement.
But, no, it was simply Comrie, the Red Wings’ backup goaltender who was set to make his team debut later in the evening against the Winnipeg Jets.
And there was the hook.
The Jets were the organization that drafted Comrie in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft.
