BEARS Go 3-for-3 on the Weekend

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last three days. I've been busy at the GC this weekend. In case you missed it the BEARS are now at .500 for the season,by completing a perfect weekend.Beating the Rats twice(6-4,3-2) and B'Port(6-3). The offense seems to have finally started to click and it also looks as if the "D" has come around as well. It was said in the room after the game by a few of the boys that they are finally starting to gel.
Wednesday starts a stretch of four games in five days. I think Friday and Saturday(at Philly and home with Philly) will show us alot about what this team is really made of.

NOTE:Alexander Semin will return to the Caps line-up on Monday night against the Florida Panthers. His return means the Caps will have to make a roster move to allow Semin to officially come off of IR. The Caps could send someone down to Hershey(Schultz,Green and Steckel are the only waiver exempt players on the roster),they could place someone on IR, or send someone on a conditioning assignment to the BEARS.Stay close to your computer tomorrow for details.

Eric Fehr Update from Tarik El-Bashir

Tarik spoke with Caps GM George McPhee about any injury updates on Eric. The following is courtesy of Tarik's Caps Insider on the washingtonpost.com: Eric Fehr's hip/back ailment is "not better but not worse."

The 22-year-old former first round draft pick is in Hershey, Pa., working out and getting treatment for what McPhee called "a compressed nerve."

The good news? The injury doesn't require sugery and will heal on its own.

The bad news? No one can say for sure when the right wing is going to be able to play. (He's been out since February.)

"He's not better but not worse," McPhee said. " We continue to try everything to make sure he'll be fine. We've been told the injury will resolve on his own. It doesn't require surgery. The questions is when will it resolve? Will it be another month? Another three months?"

Asked if he expects to see Fehr in Washington this season, McPhee said: "We're hopeful."
