Dogs: Utica pregame

Chuck Berry’s dead, people. Play The Great Twenty-Eight loud. If you don’t have it, that’s rectifiable.

Back to hockey.

“Bring everybody. Bring your dog if you want.” –John Anderson, May 31, 2002

Pucks ‘n’ Paws night, which I forgot to mention in the paper. Hope those who need it have their allergy meds. I’ve got an Allegra or two if somebody’s desperate.

Before Bridgeport hands over the building to the NCAA for the presumable regional coronation of a bunch of Huskies, the Sound Tigers play Utica and Hershey in a couple of big home games, two of only five home dates remaining out of 14. A few changes tonight in all respects up front (plus one on defense and one in net), including the AHL debut of Sacred Heart’s Justin Danforth.

And looks like Andrey Pedan’s in on the other side.
