horrible

Whoever decided it was a good idea to get a doo wop group to sing O CANADA tonight for the Leafs/Habs game should be rapped with a cane across the rulers.

To me, no one beats the guy in Ottawa or the guy in Edmonton.

Bears Game 1: Pens 5, Bears 4

Listened to the game on the computer. Sorry, really don't want to pay $6 a game for B2, at least tonight.

Sounds like a crappy way to end the game -- an own goal in the third period.

Two goals for Bourque.

A goal and a fight for Robitaille. (His first goal was later changed to Bourque)

Arsene made an interesting and opinionated color man for John Walton. I wonder how long that will last.

Bears Preseason Game vs WBS

-- The Bears rested a good number of their front line players (including Chris Bourque). We'll just say this was a contributing factor for their loss to the WBS Baby Penguins today at Giant Center.

The game was very chippy.

These two teams open the AHL season Wednesday night.

Expect more of the same.

Bears Preseaon Game vs Norfolk

Thoughts from tonight’s presason game in Hershey:

– Bourque looked great. Scored the first goal less than a minute into the game. Really buzzing around on the PP.

– The Ice was also in pre-season form. Lots of slipping and sliding. When I was in Giant center earlier this week, they were having a food show there and there were hundreds of tables covering the ice. Jay Stewart, at the beginning of the third, slid like 10 feet into the empty Hershey net like he was a bowling ball.

– A couple altercations between Chris McAllister and Brett Angel. In the first fight, McAllister seemed to get tangled up in his new sweater.

– The Bears PK got a lot of work, as the ref seemed to call a lot of hooking penalties.

All is right in Chocolate Town

made the trek up to Giant Center and got my Bears season tickets today.

Yippee.

Season starts next week, but the first home game is not for a few weeks.

listened to part of the game on the Caps' website, with Vogs doing color on the broadcast. Check out his blog for more about last night's game.
