I recall that Brooksie generally shared a room with Shaone Morrisonn back when the latter was on the team.

At one point, I thought he (BL) shared a room with Green but they ended up switching. Maybe they got on each other’s nerves. Seems that Green and Brooksie would be like Oscar and Felix.

BTW. who does Laich room with these days?

I was surprised he even played tonight, after 40-something saves last night, I think?

Yeah.

80/84 for the weekend.

Heh. I read the wrong box for last night. 44 saves, not shots.

I have such a ridiculous fancrush on Iggy. I really hope he finds a way to win a cup before he retires.

I didn’t even see it, darn it all. Must have been when I got up to get some cheese and crackers.

Just leaving the Hershey/Norfolk game. Great contest and good win for the Bears. Eakin got some time on the PP.
