FYI, Psenicka left the ice in the third period (I think), in visible pain, and then collapsed in the passageway to the locker room. He was down for a few minutes and being attended to by staff, and then he retook the ice and surprisingly played the rest of the game. Apparently, he was no longer in enough pain that he had to leave the game (or, even worse, have his season or career impacted), but it was scary there for a second. He's a super, super good guy.

Ondrej is a hoot. My daughter, a current junior, knows him slightly and has some funny stories about him.  Good guy.

He took the time to take pictures with my son (because I had informed him that he is my son's favorite player) and gave him a puck. (Incidentally, I started to cry. TMI?)

Grady hypothesized that since he was not facing the play when he was struck by the puck it probably hit him somewhere unprotected by padding, for example, the back of the knee.  Since he returned and was apparently unimpaired, it was apparently something intensely but fleetingly painful, and not injurious.

No need to use the indefinite article when the distributive adjective serves.

Not too many complaints about the crowd tonight. Full house on Halloween. LGR

The UMD coach discussing Adam Johnson, a former UMD player, who passed away after a terrible on-ice skate blade incident earlier on Saturday in England:

Quote from: Scott Sandelin"This is just so hard to grasp. He'll be missed, man. Too short. Too short. Twenty-nine years old. This puts a lot of things into perspective. The game (at Cornell) didn't mean jack s— last night for me."
