Jeff Curtin
United added some depth to central defense this week with the addition of Jeff Curtin via the waiver draft. The younger of the two Curtin defenders in Chicago, Jeff had one goal in three appearances (three starts mind you) for the first team in 2007. He's 6'-3", and he graduated from Georgetown...
A rule change that actually benefits DC
Gasp! And here we were thinking that MLS only made rule changes in order to benefit the Galaxy!Maybe this was announced earlier and I missed it, but a change to the MLS roster rules has come up today only because of Goff's latest post announcing the signing of Justin Moose to a Developmental...
Dane Murphy: Goomba stompin'
Sorry. I saw this picture of Dane Murphy on Behind the Badge and I couldn't resist the photoshop opportunity. But hey, Murph did help guide the Reserves in central defense to a 2-0 shutout victory over the goombas of Toronto FC this morning.
Open for business
With United's Open Cup debut scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Maryland SoccerPlex, the coaching staff has some really interesting roster decisions to make. Last year, United took a Harrisburg Islanders squad way too lightly, and supposedly have learned their lesson. Even though the Rochester...
Mid-Season Review part 1: Acquisitions
Given the focus that this blog has given to United's roster this year, I thought it would be appropriate to base our Mid-Season Review specifically on the roster moves that the team has made. In part 1, we will look at United's acquisitions, meaning the players that the team added since the end of...
Reserve review
I considered making the hour drive to RFK on Sunday morning to see the DC Reserves in action, but decided to play an impromptu game of tennis for the first time in 8 years against by brother-in-law. The good news: I still got it. The bad news: The Reserves lost.But just in reading the summary of...
Remember Your Panthers, Part III: Murph
"Your minor-league Thrasher uniforms offend my sense of style and color coordination. ATLANTA on the sleeve...nice touch! Perhaps you should look to the midwest for fashion hints. I shall pirouette around you while creating open ice for Horts; silently giggling to myself at your silliness. Hossa,...
WAIVED: Cory Murphy
As of noon today, defenseman Cory Murphy has been placed on waivers. I agree with Steve Gorten at the Sun-Sentinel: this paves the way for Jassen Cullimore's return to the club. The league's oldest rookie last season (though not eligible for the Calder Trophy due to his age) is signed for one more...
AccuScore Prediction: Blues 2.7, Cats 2.4
So much for a carryover of offense from last night. Granted, St. Louis is going to come out ready for war after being embarrassed - and shutout - 4-0 by the suddenly-hot Kings. But did anyone else notice that certain indefinable something which possessed the Panthers the past few games? A little...
Cullimore In, Murphy Out
Former Panthers defenseman Jassen Cullimore (shown above right, next to a non-descript Pittsburgh Penguin) has been signed by Florida in an effort to replace some of the troops lost to injury. One of those recently hurt, Cory Murphy, may miss up to a month with a shoulder ailment, though it will...
