It's early, but I'm wondering if it's time to part with some of the longtime old boys club in the lineup next summer and bring in some hungrier vets.

Just as I type this, Veccs ties it with 9 seconds left.
And i do agree with this despite the outcome. We just signed Ness for 2 for captain purposes. Hunt needs to go. I think Sgarbossa and Vecchione contracts are done. Limouees. Frank even. We need to get younger. We need new vets.

They're very different. ECHL is the tougher league. NCAA may have higher end talent but it's still a developmental league and the ECHL is grown men playing professional hockey. I have a handful of friends and former teammates who were very good college hockey players and barely got a cup of coffee in the ECHL. One dude I played with was a mid-round draft pick who never cracked the AHL and played in less than 10 ECHL games.
I remember Bednar in the 90s. It was 1970s and 80s style hockey. I loved it.

Syracuse tonight at 7pm. Trineyev wasn’t on the “not available for bears tonight” list last game. I wonder if he will draw in tonight. Funk didn’t play either. Love to see both in tonight. A Funk-Rybinski-Trineyev line would be good to see. Ry and Trineyev have been good together.

Bears are up 2-0 after one. They completely dominated the first period (save for a Syracuse breakaway that was stopped by the post). We've seen this before! Cruikshank and Frank with the goals

Bogey and Funk are back in the lineup and on a line with Rybinski

I think I'm finally starting to sympathize with the Sgarbossa dislikers... for every assist or two he notches, he sends about nine or ten pucks straight to opponents' tapes or empty ice.

Bears win 5-4 in a shootout. Frank the only goal in four rounds. For as shaky as he was in the third period- he literally gave away the second goal- Shep saved their asses in OT a couple times and stopped every shot in the shootout.

Man it has been ugly but another two points. Caps may not be done taking players from Hershey either. Perhaps Duhaime replacement if he is going to miss a game while on roadtrip.

It's funny how frustrated we all are this year because we've come to you expect better but taking a step back and looking at what counts kind of puts it in perspective for me.
