One thing I,ve noticed playing defense and watching it. Some guys bring you down some bring you up. I had all my doubt removed when i heard Jim say they scouted Poolman and like his long body and quick stick. Now put that with a Hughes he gets the puck its out. Put that with Myers they can chip it too each other all game and not get the puck out. Jim has two years or he is gone. One if they don't improve. People feel Jim is a awful manager that has made some brutal dicisions. IF THAT WERE the case I"m sure he would have been fired. WHAT I SEE was a meddling ownership group who were micro managing. I believe this to be the case for two reasons.
1) He has been given the check book to buy out some of these decisions.
2) Daddy was going to replace Aquillini with his other brother.
Now this is the first time I believe this is Jim Bennings team.
