And he dined in the O Village with Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican bobsled team.

Kudos to Brian Brutlag for signing a T.O. contract with the Norfolk Admirals...he's played well in the E, glad to see he gets to see a bit of life in the AHL!

Yes Ralph its off topic, but this thread has been in the weeds for days....

It is the playoffs, and I remember a couple of guys on crutches toughing it out a couple years back. If he had to be pulled from the lineup in overtime of a game (I'm assuming Chris Thompson had made that decision), then it must be serious enough to not play on.

This series, we need to play hockey the same way we should think as engineers: Out of the box.

Pretty sure the team Docs make the calls...Thompson gives the white coats feedback on their rehab progress.

Hey,
Doc, that general store in Adirondack is still in operation...

And am looking for two more road wins!

Say, is anyone going to johnk's establishment in Schenectady's before the game tonight? Just check in w/John

We wondered about that while we were in the north last weekend. I send my best wishes to him in his battle with cancer. That's a loss for the league - class act and helluva coach. Always had his kids ready to play.

And could make whatever adaptations were needed during a game. His teams always seemed to get better as the game wore on. He was a good one and a class act.

What do you expect us to do, try to come up with 7 days worth of hype information? We're not SportsCenter!

At least it beats a full page of "Bump."

Plus, how could we be SportsCenter? We actually talk about hockey!

Of course, we could be SportsCentre.

Well, Game 1 is now over. A fine effort by the boys, but couldn't take advantage of 3 early PP's and ended up with a 1-goal loss. If it means anything, at least they're getting closer to beating Union. Comments?

Awful game. I would think, at this level, it's a reasonable expectation to see a 60-minute game played. We slack off in the first, slack off for the first part of the second, and look what happens.

Guess it's hard to add anything else after that. Let's just hope that they put together a 60 minute (or more) effort tomorrow night.
