A lot of drama going on with the Falcons over the past week: They made the playoffs without playing (I still haven’t figured that one out), Save Mart’s bad ice finally got a game suspended and – biggest of all – Falcon defenseman Cory Murphy had a season ending injury; an injury that may have been due to the “bad ice”.
Falcon coaches went on the message board after Cory’s incident to give the fans an update:
Matt Thomas and I, Ryan Mougenel wanted to take this opportunity to
thank all of you who have offered Cory Murphy and his family thoughts
and prayers. I write this as Matt and I are still very numb from the injury
that Cory suffered last night, but we wanted to relay the message that
Cory is going to get through this and will be fine.
Cory is undergoing surgery as we speak to repair a piece of bone that
fragmented from his fibula breaking. He also suffered a dislocated ankle
which will also be set. Although losing Cory is a huge blow to our hockey
team, we wanted to let all of you know what a resilient and amazing
group of guys we have in this room and Matt and I know the response
that the guys will have for Cory will be well documented as we continue
our journey and bring the most dedicated fans in the ECHL a Kelly Cup.
We met with Cory and his wife Mellisa last night, and they wanted to
thank the amazing support and love you have all shown to Cory and his
family.
Thanks again and we thank you for your thoughts and prayers!!!!!!
Heres to bringing a Championship Home to Fresno!!!!!!!!
All the best Ryan Mougenel and Matt Thomas
The Unofficial wishes the speediest of recovery’s for Cory and hope to see him back on the extra frosty ice of the Save Mart, next season.

That was just a scratch. Any Condor hurt like that would have just taken half a Tylenol, punched the rink owner for the bad ice, and stayed in the game...
I heard it was the Condors coach that was bitchin' about the ice more than anybody.
"Waaaaaa, I'm the Condors coach and our team is very average, waaaaaa."
