Due to the economic benefits, 3G football pitch construction has become very popular among players and clubs alike and artificial football pitch design is becoming the norm, starting to overtake its grass ancestor as the playing field of choice among sports teams. With any luck we’ll see Ty Conklin start for the Red Wings as they take on the Chicago Blackhawks outdoors at Wrigley Field – game-time is 1pm eastern. The event at Lincoln Financial Field promises to be a good one. Enter Jim Thome, some good draft picks, and, voila, you had the 2007-2011 Phillies. And I hate to plug hi-def but last year’s game looked so good. As for BU, our Wildcat Men’s Hockey Team will look to continue the march towards lumping them with the rest of the Hockey East teams – by putting them one game closer to owning a losing record on the Olympic sized, Towse Rink after having gone three-and-‘O’ against the Commonwealth Ave squad last season. And speaking of commenting, this brings me to The UNH Men’s Hockey Blog Holiday Giveaway. In the spirit of the holidays, The UNH Men’s Hockey Blog is hosting a CPR Gear (check them out New England sports fans) T-shirt giveaway for my loyal, contributing readers.
We’re going to start with James van Riemsdyk and Blake Kessel at the World Junior Championship then we’re going to meander a bit before finishing up with a loyal reader giveaway! I don’t think so, but, then again, had I told you that they would have won in four despite their not hitting much and the starting pitchers for the most part pitching great baseball, well, you might have. 7, and leads the senior class in scoring with four assists! Blake Kessel. Leads the team in plus-minus with a plus-eleven (thanks to the elf who helped get my sortable tables working – they’re midway through the right-hand sidebar of course, you can’t miss’em! And to dhtmlgoodies for providing the script! If they don’t work, I’m sorry but your browser is not supported so get it updated as it is very nice to be able to click and sort the stats and I’ll be adding more) the youngster is solid! Whether a team that has as regulars Wes Helms, Abraham Nunez and Rod Barajas in it and a bullpen has signs on the inside of its uniform jerseys that warn “do not put this pitcher near an open flame” can actually catch the Mets is, of course, another story, Arizona Cardinals Toddler but that’s why they play the games.
Uncomfortable flex points in the shoes can lead to arch pain, Achilles-tendon, calf strain, or plantar fasciitis. Which means that coaches can run players off. While I’m at it, certain major college athletic programs will run into economic problems arising from poorly performing endowments, lower alumni donations, reduced participation from sponsors and the like. Wildcat Alumni in the pros have stayed busy (and I missed last week’s installment of Wednesday’s Wildcat Alumni Weekly) – here’s the rundown. Here are the video highlights of last night’s game. While seeming lackadaisical at times, James’ extraordinary skill continues to result in points on the board – I would have like to have seen the move on Saturday night but there were some programming snafus with Time Warner Cable/Fox Collegiate Sports and though it showed the game in the schedule it was not shown – very disappointing even with the lopsided loss. Stafford was credited as even in the 4-1 Detroit loss to Vancouver and had a shot on goal and one hit in his 8:29 of ice time. A little research turns up that Stafford is nursing a rib injury – hopefully he’ll be back soon. Teammate and fellow Wildcat Alum, Garrett Stafford has been MIA for the last six or seven games just when it seemed he was starting to heat up scoring a goal and two assists in the three games previous to his absence.
This just in. Fellow rookie, Matt Fornataro, is really dishing the puck tonight. Limited live-blogging tonight. We’re about three minutes in. Put an ice pack on the injured area for 15 to 20 minutes in every 2 to 3 hours. Played their best 20 minutes of the season in the first half. The Avs stayed in the game by tallying all of their goals on the powerplay, all in the first period on just three opportunities. Then, this weekend, I’m planning a stop at my favorite Irish Pub, Cu Na Mara of Bristol, NH (before I have to get to my own game Sunday night) in order to catch our ‘Cats taking on the Black Bears in Orono on ESPNU – hopefully I’ll be able to catch the full game before I have to go! It wasn’t like I was taking notes. If he doesn’t get drafted, skipping the workouts will look like a huge mistake. I refuse to get negative on our guys so let’s look at what went right. So, I will look back through the comments and emails I’ve received to choose those who have participated the most and reward them for their heart-felt support and dedication with authentic CPR Gear T-shirts.
