Hershey Bears

On saturday my hockey team played one of the best teams in the world, the hershey jr. bears AAA select team, then we stayed in the chocolate town to watch the Hershey bears play the AHL Pittsburgh Penguins, if I were George McPhee (who was in attendance) I would not be too pleased. Because of Semyon Varlamov's injury starting Hershey goalie, Braden Holtby was called up to back up Michael Neuvirth for the caps. This left Danny Sabourin in net for the bears, Sabourin struggled early going 4 saves out of 7 shots he got pulled before the halfway mark in the first period. The bears did score first but would never recover from Sabourin's crucial mistakes. They lost to Pittsburgh 6 to 2. The players for the bears all looked sloppy by whiffing shots, making unintelligent passes, and not skating hard. Overall the effort by the Caps AHL partners was way below expectations and did empress few.

World Series Picks

I know it is a little late, but I'm taking Rangers in 7 despite the 0-2 lead with the Giants ahead. For MVP i'm taking Josh Hamilton even though he is hitless so far.

Here We Go Again

Last night, the Wizards lost to the Magic 112-83 in the season debut and highly anticipated rookie debut for star shooting/point guard John Wall. The Wizards, coming off a less than stellar 26 wins and 56 losses last year, are at it again so far with a blowout beginning of the season. Wall, held his ground last night, but did not put up stellar numbers with 14 points and 9 assists. Although it is the beginning of the season the Wizards need a win on Saturday against the 2 and 0 Atlanta Hawks.
