While I've been home here in the MA, I've gone to a few Worcester Sharks AHL games with friends, and have seen some great hockey. Well tonight the Hershey Bears were in town, and lost to the Sharks 3-1. They played well, with special teams breaking even. They gave up a powerplay goal, but Chris Bourque also scored a shorthanded goal. He also made a nice 1-on-1 move around the defender before being tripped up, drawing a penalty on Worcester.
Davis Parley was called up from from the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays and made his first AHL start of the season, giving up 3 fairly soft goals before being pulled in the second period. Daren Machesney was sent in, and stopped all 19 shots he faced.
After the game, as I was walking out, I ran into Coach Boudreau and several other members of the Capitals organization. The Capitals are in town to play the Bruins tomorrow night, and Coach Boudreau stopped by Worcester to see his Bears. He's off to Boston tonight, and best of luck to both him and the players tomorrow night.
