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“.

Tim Crowder

Didn’t feel right to post Tim Kennedy, then Justin Abdelkader and not complete the trio with Tim Crowder. Not sure what his status is now and googling got me way too many resulsts related to a football player who stole his name. If anyone knows, share the info :-)

Showdown in Detroit

Melissa Wade — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:29:41 +0000

Tim Kennedy (earlier gallery) teams up with Nate Gerbe (earlier gallery) against his former Michigan State teammate Justin Abdelkader.

Kennedy & Abdelkader teamed up in 2007 to beat Gerbe’s Boston College Eagles in a heartbreaker for the national championship. Just to even things out tonight – former Eagle Patrick Eaves is on the ice for Detroit so each team has an Eagle & Spartan.

Okposo – mild concussion; Stoa & Kennedy score

Melissa Wade — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:52:02 +0000

Good to read that Kyle Okposo was able to fly home with the New York Islanders last night after a huge hit (hit comes around the 1:00 minute mark) by Dion Phaneuf in Calgary – Calgary Herald on reaction to hit; Newsday re: his condition.

Okposo’s former teammate with both the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Team USA (the two won bronze at the 2007 WJC in Sweden), Ryan Stoa, scored the gamewinner last night in the Colorado Avalanche’s 3-1 defeat of the Dallas Stars. From the Denver Post: “I just went in with the pump fake and they both went down, and slid it in there low-glove,” Stoa said. “I’m excited and I had a lot of fun tonight.”

Former Michigan State Spartan Tim Kennedy scored his first preseason goal for his hometown Buffalo Sabres (definitely this season; not sure if he did last year) cutting the Washington Capitals lead to 1 goal in their 4-3 defeat of the Sabres.
