after my second tour of duty at walmart here in florida, I am starting to suspect an unhealthy level of inbreeding may be taking place around here. I should have suspected this after the country cracker karaoke at the restaurant the other night.
Finally figured out Sens unexpected run at the playoffs. Sitting there watching the weather forecast last night and J.J. telling us that with the wind chill it would reach -30, I remembered some sports talk guy saying that the Sens would make the playoffs when hell froze over. Considering the winter we have had, I guess they must be skating in hell.
Hammond was in the starter's net this morning at the game day skate. Hoffman was on the ice, and said the cut split his lip and looked worse than it was. No headache. Puempel is in, Greening is out.
Anderson very emotional during press time this morning about his frustration with his injury status and not being able to help the team out. "I should have spoken up sooner. I take the onus and put it on myself to be a little more vocal." Not playing is "killing me inside to not play and watch". He can dress tonight in back-up role.
Coach on injured players:
MacArthur: still has some symptoms, but not as frequent. Improvement noted.
Lehner: not at rink. Coach isn't sure what's going on, but doesn't think he's progressed as far as CM.
Phillips: skating but not yet back.
Smith: now week to week, rather than month to month. Another evaluation coming up.
Will the Hamburgler be in net? Will Anderson make his return? Or Phillips? Or Smith? Puempel vs Greening? Buddy Robinson to be called up?
Nobody knows, as of yet. At least two Callups will be at the game on Friday -- I'm hoping they bring the game they've been playing out west and dismantle the Slugs and Ochocinco.
