A WEEK IN REVIEW 11/27-12/4

I asked some questions this week on Facebook....and here are the responses....


Q:Last nights game vs. WBS. Comments?

Answers:Kristin-Well, I had a Penguins guy sitting behind me whining the whole night about the calls, the Pens' guys, whatever and all I could do was laugh. 5-0, awesome for Hershey and stinks to be a Penguins fan. Hershey may have been tired from 4 games in 5 days but they definitely showed up for that game.

Jamie-Neuvy had 42 saves. Nuff said.

Q:Comments about the last two games vs. ADIRONDACK?

Answers:Kristin-I watched the first game online and Hershey looked pretty good. I don't think they played bad at all on Sat. They just looked tired. It figures, that's the game that Cash finally get to play at home. I wish we would get to see him more.

Q:Beagle assigned, Ovi gets two-game suspension...comments?

Answers:Kyle-It [stinks] that Ovi is suspended for 2 games.

Kristin-Well, if they aren't going to play Beagle, let me play in Hershey. As for Ovechkin, he is a big name that plays hard all the time. He is always going to get attention, good and bad. I think the suspension is bogus.

Q:Chris Bourque put on wavers by the Pens....anybody think the Caps should claim him?

Answers:Kyle-yes Bourque needs to come back to the caps and bears

Don-yea they should being him back

Kaylyn-ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Bring Chris back!!!!!!!! He was my favorite player and I was sad to see him go to the Pens, the team I DESPISE!!!

Q:How many people think the caps need to get Nylander out of dc?

Answers:Kyle-Send Nylander to Pitt for Chris and call it a deal

Don-they need to get Nylander out of Washington

THANKS FOR THE THOUGHTS EVERYONE!

The Bad News Bears of Hershey

STORY BY GUEST WRITER JARROD:
The Bad News Bears of Hershey are the guys you love to hate. The Bad Bears are Steve Pinizzotto, Brandon Sugden, Greg Amadio, Patrick Weller, and Grant McNeill. Pinizzotto has 28 penalty minutes, but they all seem to be because of a good fight. Even when he isn't fighting he is stapling people to the boards. Sugden has 33 penalty minutes. He sure can pack a punch. I would definitely not want to be on the other end of his fist. Amadio, who I like to call 'Penalty Boy' or 'Sir Fights Alot', has the most penalty minutes of the team, with a whopping 54 minutes. He is fun to watch on the ice, as he is always causing trouble but in a good way. Weller is also somewhat of a Bad News Bear as he can throw some good punches as well. His time in the sin bin is at 16 minutes. Grant McNeil is a strong defenceman as well with 16 minutes of serving time. He likes to throw down as needed and can pack a good punch. The best team the Hershey Bears and and all them guys you love to hate always make watching a game much more exciting by there antics on the ice. They sure know how to raise Bear Nation in the Barn.
(EDITOR'S NOTE:Chris Bouqure was put on wavers today by the Pens...John Stevens was fired today by the Flyers...)

Gone Too Long

Its been a long summer for me but I'm back and ready to get back to blogging. So in June the Bears caped off the best season ever with a tenth Calder Cup win and some great gains and losses. After losing Chris Bourque to the Pens, and Mr Mayor of Hershey to Edmonton, the Bears gain Boyd Kane and some Caps draft picks to make this team look as good as the one we had last year. The Caps lost their tough guy Donald Brashear, but gained key additions with Mike Knuble and Brendon Morrison, making this team a good contendor for a cup. But hockey has not been the main sport all this summer. It looks like my Baltimore Orioles will make the playoffs this year... Oh wait, never mind. With the season looking to be another good one, with Gordo on the top line and some depth with the goaltenders, we have a very good chance of going back to back. Also, with all the new and old technologies, I've become a big fan of Twitter. If you are not on the service or have an account you should get one. Even though they might get a couple of bad reps with people always having to update their status, it's not really like that. You can update as you want, but just like me, I'm not one of the people who obsess telling people what I had for breakfast. Hope to see everyone at least one or two Bears and one Caps game this season. Sorry about the long wait in blog posts, but to make up for it, here are my best photos from this past year (And if you could comment on the photos, I would appreciate it very much, Thank You.)
