I saw Clymer and the Bears in Bridgeport on Friday. He mixed it up good and had a jump and quickness of stick better than anyone else on the ice.
He’d probably keep some of those pucks in the zone on the PP better than that guy wearing #50.

I have to say, I watched Beagle all the way through both camps, and the kid’s got something. He needs to get a little hungrier, but he’s shaping up to be really solid player.
(I was there last night, but as part of the ticket-buying rabble.)

I miss Clymer! I don’t understand why Motzko is in DC and not Clymer….I am at a total loss about what the Caps are doing so far this year. They said change was coming but they don’t look all that much different as a team so far this year and instead of using seasoned veterans they are using the youngsters still. I do have to say that they do show moments of being a great team. I say get Sutherby and Clymer back in and use the talent.

I thought Clymer really showed that he is too good to be in the minors. He was really good tonight.
Bourque, as usual, was also pretty spiffy tonight. He is such a buzzsaw out there, always chasing stuff down.
One of Cassivi’s stops was pretty amazing/lucky. He stopped the shot, it went up in the air, spun backwards, hit the left pipes and trickled away. I believe it was 2-1 at that point, so it could have been such unfortunate timing.
Pucks, did you stay around for the sweater auction after the game? Those Bears fans are crazy. The cheapest sweater went for around $1300 and both Bourque and Cassivi had theirs go for $3000 each.

Stoudt’s does have some yummy beer. At the Reading Royals arena, they have a bar at ice level called Stoudt’s Under the Ice.
They have a great Oktoberfest beer festival as well. I highly recommend it.
Oh, and don’t forget their beer bread, too.
