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.
