couple of things I didn't read until today -

per BG News, James Unger was injured - might not play this weekend - hope he's feeling better

per Inside College Hockey, Mark Voakes quit the team. I wish he would have hung around a little longer, if this was strictly a "not playing me" issue. I kept telling him last year that Dan Bylsma didn't get playing time during the early years of his BG career.

That article says Mike Nesdill is injured, and nothign about James. I hope that LSS is out of shape, our guys are going to be tired after this one.

I figured that most of us had BG News bookmarked, so I didn't post the link:

I would think that Unger will go, if at all possible. Our team is in great shape, according to the staff that trains them in the off season, so hopefully being early in the season, they won't be as worn down.

GO FALCONS!!

Unger, almost certainly will NOT go this weekend. He was knocked out for a short time when he was hit by the puck, which almost certainly means no contact for a week.

It was in the paper about Voakes, sorry to see him go. He was on the Baseball team last year, so I wonder if he will stay on there. Wish him well whatever he chooses!! Unger was listed in the paper as "doubtful", so I really don't expect him to play . The team's conditioning will be a HUGE factor in the games. I know they have worked their collective butts off for the strength coach and expect them to be able to go the distance. We have had a shorter bench than this in the past and the players dressing tonight will get a lot of ice time, which will help us all out in the long run. Expect a GOOD, hard fought series this weekend!!

GOOOOOOO FALCONSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unger is playing tonight. Linemate with Christie.

James played with a special protector on, looked like the sort of thing football linemen wear, that sticks up behind the neck. Very appropriate for Halloween weekend; gave him a Frankenstein Monster look. Didn't seem to affect his normal hard-playing style.

Sorry about the bad info, but it came from someone who makes the decision!!!!

If Unger plays like that when he is "hurt" .....wow! Can't wait to see him without the protector. He seemed much faster than last year!!! He was pretty incredible last night. It was like he had glue on his stick whenever he had the puck. He was fun to watch!!

he looked kinda like a big goon out there. No shoulders, jsut a big hunched over guy lol. He still played well so it mush not be bothering him too much.
