Seriously, stretch out those hips. Do you want to end up like DP, Amac, Eaton, Mottau, etc. etc. etc?
The Islander's Blue and White scrimmage and skill competition is set for tonight at 7 pm (doors at 6). Tickets are still available (for $12.25 including US fees???) and the game is slated to be streamed on line for free here. If anyone is interested, maybe we will put up a game thread for people to share their opinions of how some of the up and comers look. The camp roster was released a while ago, but if anyone has a link to the specific breakdown of the two teams, please post in comments and I will add to the body here.
In additional Islander news, three of the Isles who were extended qualifying offers have accepted them and will be in the fold for 2011-2012. (Dylan Reese, Ty Wishart and fan favorite Micheal Haley). [Fanshot-Fabtraption]
