From our contact in Hershey:
“Fehrsie started the game for the BEARS and SCORED on that 1st shift(on a line with Bourque and Motzko).The goal was at the :40 mark of the 1st. Fehr deflected in a shot taken by Bourque.”
Update:
“They just changed the goal. They gave it to Bourque, however Fehr did get the assist.”
Update from the Hershey press box:
“I’m impressed with Fehr’s physical fearlessness tonight. Sticking his body around the net. He is laboring some with the skating.”
Post-game feedback from a Bears’ official:
“Eric was definately laboring with his skating, but I’m sure that was expected. His “game” shape will come with time. His nose for the net and offensive side of his game was still there, and will only get better with time. He took/gave some hits and you couldn’t see any obvious signs of discomfort. I think the true test will be tomorrow and how he feels the day after the game. Another test will come this weekend, with three games in three days(Fri. in WB/S, Sat. and Sun. at home); it will be interesting to see if he plays in back to back games or if he is able to play in all three.”

Wow you’re good. During the Caps game, I was wondering if Fehr was playing tonight.
Cheers!
It’s a lie! They took it away and gave it to Bourque halfway through the second. The entire crowd was a little miffed.
Is he here yet?
Teka,
As soon as we got word of the scoring change, we updated the post.
Capsaholic,
He’s not in DC, yet. This was his first game back and it was in a Bears sweater.
Can I be a nosy bastard and ask who your Hershey contact is? It gets lonely up here sometimes…
Teka,
We’re fortunate to get the tidbits and feedback from Hershey we do, and we want to honor the generosity of this candor by ensuring it can continue.
Incidentally, if you’re that lonely, I’ll be up in Hershey Saturday to see the repaired Fehr for my own eyes.
I would imagine Fehr’s legs felt like cement after the first period!
That said, watch out Flash, he’s comin’ for your spot
Fair enough, just thought I’d ask. I’ll be down in 121, just look for the huge camera.
