The time is now 6:04 pm on Saturday evening, which means in less than 24 hours the puck will drop to kick off the regular season for the Red Army. To adequately prepare for the game a few players took today off to rest. Second year player Steve Hand traveled with friends to Harrisonburg early this afternoon. Hand also had a late night with Hendricks and Simek on Friday night. The three watched the movie Miracle while sipping Molson.
The rookie dinner is happening later in the week. Rookie Andy Schram will pick up the bill for the 11 players at Morton's. Last year's rookie dinner's bill exceed $39,200, over half of that attributed to Hand's taste for mixed drinks.
"What? A man can't enjoy one or two or seventeen strawberry daiquiris? And so what if I want to wash my steak down with a Mike's Hard Lemonade?" A perturbed Hand told reporters.
More to come after Sunday's game.

Sounds great Barry! I'll be excited to see the stats post-game. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rookie preformed along with some solid vets. Go Red Army!
