The Deaths of Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak (http://knightofcups-bondi.blogspot.com/2011/08/bonded-by-blood.html) this summer in addition to the Locomotiv tragedy (http://knightofcups-bondi.blogspot.com/2011/09/summer-to-forget.html) were great loses in the world of professional sports and to all of us as human beings and certainly deserved remembering.
Having worked at ESPN for a few years in the past, I encountered several great people, both from in front of and behind the camera. I found them to be passionate about their love of hockey. I am in no way painting this “situational blame” with a broad brush, just agreeing with those who feel ESPN showed little class in this latest oversight in their piece.
Isles Notes:
David Ullstrom continue to follow concussion protocol; Jay Pandolfo is practicing and is close to return. Michael Haley didn't practice today due to a contusion on his hand.
There were new lines at practice today. (Remember, I still say something has to give.)
Moulson-Tavares-Okposo; Rolston-Nielsen-Parenteau; Grabner-Bailey-Niederreiter, Pandolfo; Martin-Reasoner-Wallace.
Arthur Staple reports Steve Staios and Rick DiPietro were on the ice as well prior to practice.
