I think that's a good and logical offering; do you happen to know if these scholies are applicable only to Canada universities, or can they be used in US (or other foreign) schools ??
Sticking with the CHL (a designation I'd never before heard, but now presume must exist.....if for no other reason.....to sponsor of the Memorial Cup) for a moment, if the Canadiens owned (and I do use this term figuratively rather than literally) the Petes.......and the Bruins owned the Gens.....and the Rangers owned Kitchener......who owned the 67's in those days (was it the Leafs, or maybe the Wings) ?? Also, may I assume each of the Original Six "owned" teams in the Q and W as well ??
Also, I always thought the Marlies were a Junior organization; I was honestly shocked to learn they're actually a minor league team (and that it was the Marlboros who were in the O). Until now, I always assumed the Marlboros were simply being called the Marlies, much as the Penguins are referred to as the Pens).
Back to the pros, Pens at an improving Tampa tonight; too bad they didn't have the TBL on the schedule earlier in the season when they were playing so meh (especially since the Pens are historically pretty good against them). Bonino is now out for a month; will be interesting to see how they do with Fehr moving up to center the 3rd line; I guess I'd be surprised if there was any real drop-off since Bonino hasn't found the net all season
Meanwhile, now that we're well into the New Year, we're finally going to start seeing their key division rivalries begin to heat up; Cryers next Thursday while the Craps and Devils follow on the 26th and 28th respectively. And speaking of divisional "rivalries", it'd be nice to see the Pens find a way to finally beat the friggin' Canes on Sunday; I myself am getting a little PO'd at their inability to beat a team.....who's admittedly playing much better this season than it has for some time.....they frankly should still beat more often than they lose.
