Glad to be home

To say that we are disappointed with how our road trip to Texas went would be an understatement. We were prepared and knew that the games were going to be tough but unfortunately came back empty handed. We didn't execute the game plan and let a couple minutes of bad hockey lose us the two games. I always hate losing, especially when you have a week to think about it. I have been in a salty mood the past couple of days just thinking about it. It was good to have practice this morning so we could finally turn the page and move our thinking toward this weekend. We have played well in Wilkes-Barre so far this year and then we have two home games before the Christmas break. Our goal this week is to refocus and get back to Bear's hockey. It seems like the injuries in Washington are starting to get to a more normal level so there is the possibility of getting some more players back, but you never know. Also some potential great news is that Dean Arsene is skating again 100% in practice and if all goes well will try to get into a game this weekend. You probably have heard that Kip Brennan has signed with the team too. He was at practice this morning, but he couldn't get on the ice until he cleared waivers, which he did. I have never played with Kip, only against him, and can attest that he is one of the toughest men in this or any league. I look forward to seeing what he can do this year (hopefully some more of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsom40270ss wow) Anyway, I have to finish up my Xmas shopping it is crazy that it is almost here!
