Time to shine....

After an impressive 2008 training camp, and some great on-ice productivity during the pre-season, it was incredibly depressing to see Chris Bourque sent back to Hershey prior to the regular season commencing. While I would never argue with Boudreaus' reasoning, the emotional aspect for a Hershey Bears fan to see one of his guys make the NHL will probably always outweigh conventional thought. With the injuries to Kozlov, Brashear and Poti, the Capitals just announced that Chris Bourque was being recalled, and will most likely play against the New Jersey Devils tomorrow night. I'm sure that Chris is ready to rise to the challenge, and like those before him (such as Fehr, Schultz and Fleischmann), is ready to show the world that he belongs there.



Good luck to you Chris. Your loyal fans at Hershey will be behind you all the way.
