73 Percent Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Good for him! This makes me happy. Instead of taking it the wrong way (not that I agreed with AV), he uses it as motivation to play at a higher level. Way to be Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for update. Still saying all the right things, can't imagine he'd be all that happy being a healthy scratch on a under-performing team. Hopefully he, and the rest of our defensive corps, can pull it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF4E Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 3 years of being in the doghouse and still having a great attitude. Hope he wins his spot back tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 With all due respect, what does anyone really expect him to say? I am sure saying publicly he is not happy with a limited role would really endear him to AV. Sounds like a great team guy - but also one who has had his confidence in his own game and ability completely destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topbananas Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 seems to me it doesnt matter how he plays, he will be back in the doghouse soon enough but yeah, he seems to be a top bloke with a great attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Av interview says they been talking to Ballard about the holes in his games this year so Ballard isn't suprised he got scratched. Think CDC big up his play so much that I can see why people are more upset Ballard is scratched than he is. What makes you think he thinks her be better in a new team given a bigger role? If he thought that, in sure he would requested a trade by now; who wouldn't the way AV treats him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just when that Ballard trade thread was getting epic, he goes and does this! Seriously though, a Ballard-Barker pairing should be all kinds of smooth skating. Let's hope they have chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
