Hey Vanna, can I buy a Vowel?
Maybe a goalie?
You can almost take a full-size picture of Ricky and cut some holes in it – and you have the 2009 version of Operation.
Do you think Milton Bradley would mind? I wish I knew Photoshop, or I would be on this….
Will he play tomorrow? Will we end the year with a victory? Right now, my prognostication skills blow, so I will let you be the judges…
Despite the 4 goals given in the 3rd, the Isles played a ‘decent’ game – not good, not terrible, decent.
Has Kyle blossomed lately? He has been brilliant. So has Blake Comeau.
Josh has entered the Bow-wow zone again… Let him make the mistakes. He will not grow in this environment if he does not get the chances. I was the one that said send him to the Junior tournament; so if you are going to keep him here, play him, DAMN IT!
Tinkerbell’s wings are coming unglued. Maybe the sleeping beauty awakens.
I keep getting impressed with Streit’s defensive abilities. What was Carby thinking last season?
Well – let’s see what happens tomorrow… I will be in the Blog Box, so expect an article just before the ball drops tomorrow night. HAPPY 2009 everyone!

I am not at all trying to take anything away from Joey, but I often wonder what this season would have been without the injuries to Ricky. Also, on top of that, if this team had a reasonably healthy roster, how many more points in the standings would we have? The Ranger game only brought this point home to me further. No, it wasn’t a terrible game, but it was surely winnable. When we score four goals in a game, we should Win that game.
Happy New Year to everyone. Have a happy, healthy and safe one, guys and gals.
