My dad told me about this, on the way to work.. he passed by the bus.

I used to watch these guys all the time. They were the Devils farm team, now they are the Hurricanes Farm team.

BECKET, Mass. - Three players and employees of the Albany River Rats were seriously injured this morning after their team bus slid in snow and rolled on the Massachusetts Turnpike just before 3:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said.

The injured people are a mix of players and team employees, Rats coach Jeff Daniels said, but declined to identify any of them until families can be contacted.

Police describe the injures as serious, but Daniels said they did not appear to be life threatening.

"We were very fortunate and lucky," Daniels said.

BECKET, Mass. - The River Rats are back in Albany after their team bus slid off of the Massachusetts Turnpike early this morning, leaving four hockey players and the team's radio commentator hospitalized with serious injuries. b?P=6dd16022-fec9-11dd-ad35-bb657b60dffd&T=1994jlet9%2fX%3d1235077697%2fE%3d2022775850%2fR%3dncnws%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d8.1%2fW%3d0%2fY%3dPARTNER_US%2fF%3d4149821557%2fH%3dYWx0c3BpZD0iOTY3MjgzMTUxIiBzZXJ2ZUlkPSI2ZGQxNjAyMi1mZWM5LTExZGQtYWQzNS1iYjY1N2I2MGRmZmQiIHNpdGVJZD0iOTIxMDUxIiB0U3RtcD0iMTIzNTA3NzY5NzUyOTcwMiIgdGFyZ2V0PSJfdG9wIiA-%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d20558862&U=13ufsel9s%2fN%3dfmIUAWKIVL0-%2fC%3d600038439.600042210.400246511.400246511%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d1719045675483142928%2fV%3d2 Weary and wounded hockey players walked gingerly off the bus when it arrived at the Times Union Center at 11:03 a.m.

Teammates Nicolas Blanchard, Joe Jensen, Casey Borer, Jonathan Paiement, and radio commentator John Hennessy remained behind at the Berkshire Medical Center for treatment, Rats Head Coach Jeff Daniels said.

Owen Newkirk, the team's broadcaster and communications director, reached by phone at the hospital, said he had a slight concussion but otherwise was all right. He said he crawled through a window to escape the wreckage.

The Massachusetts Turnpike can be treacherous in winter weather. The highway peaks at 1,724 feet above sea level, Interstate 90's highest elevation until South Dakota, just miles from the accident site.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
