Scott Hurrey

my name is Scott Hurrey. I am a computer programmer by trade. I've been married since 1993. I have a 7-year-old son named Jackson and a 1-year-old daughter named Marlee. Jackson got my Dad's natural athletic ability, and Marlee got my musicality. My wife works in Winchester and I work for a company called SER, which is located in Dulles. I live out in western VA, close to Shenandoah National Park and the Inn at Little Washington. Its beautiful out here, and much cheaper than NoVa. I'm originally from Southern Maryland, but moved to VA after being discharged from the USMC in '97.

I’ve received a lot of inquiries over the course of the day regarding reports on ESPN this morning that Washington Capitals Forward Donald Brashear and Defensman Mike Green were suspended for Game 7 tomorrow night.

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak, the first of Bruce Boudreau’s young NHL career.
