Thank You Eric LeGrand

"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."

Ever since Eric LeGrand was injured on October 16, 2010, he's been a constant source of inspiration to everyone in the Rutgers community and beyond. It's amazing to see how much strength and courage someone my age can have when faced with everything that Eric has had to go through in the past year. And it's been just as amazing to see a community of thousands of students come together and support the efforts of one person. Every time an "Eric LeGrand" or "52" chant starts at a game, I get the chills. Seeing Eric lead the team out of the tunnel in the snow before the West Virginia game almost made me cry. Seeing his Twitter updates everyday and being able to see how far he's come on the road to recovery has truly been inspiring. Keep on Chopping Eric. We bELieve in you.

Ouch

It's been a rough week to be an NHL coach. Washington, Carolina and now Anaheim have all fired their head coaches this week. Is anyone safe? It'll be interesting to see how these teams fair under new leadership, especially Washington. Will Ovechkin finally be the player we all have grown to love? (or love to hate?)
