Off to Pennsylvania: Thursday notes

From the Land of Wonder to the Land of Chocolate after practice today. Status quo this morning at Wonderland, down to Jesse Graham’s red jersey. Day-to-day though he is, he took his usual reps with the power play. The forward lines included four men each on the third and fourth lines, both somewhat rearranged from recent times; a Gillies/Sundstrom/Vaughan/Gallant grouping and a Courtnall/Quine/Langkow/Persson quartet.

Last-man-standing shootout to close practice. Kevin Czuczman defeated Chris Langkow in the final.

Prescouting the Bears, who’ve been missing Kris Newbury this week.

And RIP, Herman Badillo.
