Hathaway has officially been cleared to play tonight

Willy placed on IR. Since the IR is applied retroactively, Willy is technically eligible to play tonight. I don't expect him to be out much longer.

The player absence situation is getting worse rather than better.


It's a miracle this team is keeping its head above water, much less being close to the top of the Conference standings.

I see it as a blessing in disguise as I don't think the kids in Hershey would've had much chance to play this year, and its past  time management start circulating in some fresh blood.

Sgarbossa is the latest flu victim



and only 3 zebras on the ice tonight, probably for the same reason

They ALL hear me!!

Funny listening to Locker act surprised at the Kings PK against our PP.. I mean, how hard does he think it is, when all we do is stand still, pass and hope Ovie beats the goalie or Carlson gets one through a screen? Maybe when 100% healthy it's not "easy" to defend, but there's no mystery to the thing anymore. Forsythe should be shown the door if they don't have something entirely new after the Olympic break.
