Get the watch out - you need to get some clues
Well – if the great detective needed to get a case to work on – here it is. Proceed to Plainview, and head to the Islander offices immediately.
The Isles sign goalie Marty Biron from the Flyers for a one year 1.4 million dollar contract.
Well, Mr. Tracy, what does that tell you?
“Hmmmm. I guess Mr. DiPietro will not be starting the season!”
And they pay him the big bucks…
Well – Garth Snow – just got himself an insurance policy that is etched in stone now. He has two quality goalies that can take the load, should #39 start the season on the mend (and no one has to tell Dick Tracy – that is a given with all the clues out in the open).
To me – that is a good sign. Not that Yann and Joey did not do the yeoman’s job last season; in fact, there were times that Danis and MacDonald shined in the spot light. However, with the advent of Tavares in the blue and orange, along with the kids improving and getting stronger by the day, the idea of having solid veterans behind the net would help the confidence of the rest of the team.
I really think that this is a good move. Well done, Garth…
What do you all think about it?
