  1. I have always believed it was pressure from the marketing dept to bring in a salable commodity to sell tickets and merchandise. Sounds pretty bad, I know. I'd like to be wrong about it, but I don't think the hockey people really believed they were ready for prime time.
  2. Basically the strategy is to clog up the ice and fall back and shut down the other team because no matter who that is, night in night out they are more talented than us. Then maybe knock in a goal alongfg the way and scrape out a point or two that way. It kept us in the playoff hunt ridiculously late into the season. The alternative is to get smoked 8-0 every night. Maybe we'll see that alternative next year; Willie's system has masked just how truly bad we actually are.
  3. Except that Jake is cutting to the front of the Justin Bieber lineup. Jake's still a bopper.
  4. Jake Virtanen is a wild and crazy guy!
  5. I hope he can pick up his pace. He doesn't look like he moves well enough for pro at this point
  6. RFA I think. Still, his value would be negligible at this stage.
  7. Playing in the Snet Sunday matineee vs Quebec Ramparts.
  8. I'm glad to finally hear some real talk around here around how unlikely his being physically ready to play for us next year actually is. I've been crossing my fingers and hoping Benning doesn't push him into the line up next year to sell merchandise al a Virtanen and McCann because I think he'll get hurt if they try that. Thanks,l I appreciate your insight. And your candor.
  9. He reminds me of an upright Frigidaire appliance on skates. A big white cold one.
  10. He does his damned best out there. All you can really ask.
