Albany River Rats at Worcester Sharks
When creating my schedule for October I couldn’t decide between heading to Vermont for Boston College men’s hockey or heading to Conte for Boston College women’s hockey vs. Maine so I did neither. Instead I decided to be a fan and head to Worcester for an AHL game and just get a few shots for fun with no concern about getting the goals or peak action.
Loads of former college and/or US/Canadian U20 players between the two teams. Full gallery: Albany River Rats at Worcester Sharks
A few of the kids who I’ve previously featured in blog galleries:
Scattered (like my brain)
San Jose Sharks:
Good: Benn Ferriero scored another goal & assist in the Shark’s 3-2 loss (previously scored only regulation goal in a 2-1 SO loss) – Head coach on Ferriero – “…every night, he’s doing something that we like. There’s some players that we kind of penciled into certain positions,” the coach continued. “This guy’s nipping at their butts right now. I think it’s great competition. There’s some that have to pick it up.” Maybe he should bite them on the ass instead and put them on IR and out of his way :-).
Sad, not Bad: Nick Petrecki was among those sent to Worcester today. It’s probably better for him in the long run so can’t say it is bad.
Nashville:
@#$%^: Francis Bouillon added – currently on a tryout (confirmed w/ Preds’ official twitterer), but contract agreed to assuming he makes the team. Nothing against Bouillon – but that puts him in Jonathon Blum’s way.
Chicago:
@#$%&!!!!!!: Despite him helping to break my heart in 2006, can’t help but love that Stinkin’ Badger. Sorry to hear Adam Burish is out for 6 months with torn ACL.
Cincinnati Cyclones (hey, I needed to come up with another positive bit of news):
Good: Chris Mueller – who helped break my heart in 2007 – has signed per MSU_Hockey on Twitter.
Re: Twitter – I don’t remember if I mentioned this before, but I do post on Twitter when I post here, so if you’d like an alert to new content, feel free to “follow me“.

Newest members of the San Jose Sharks organization – Daniel Rahimi & Patrick White
Joining Benn Ferriero in the San Jose organization are Daniel Rahimi and Patrick White in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks (Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich):
Realized when getting the Ferriero link that I had never done one of the embedded galleries for Nick Petrecki, Boston College Eagle signed last Spring by the Sharks so why not now (many more images by clicking on name):
