To quote Shelby on the NB:

"...if you all remember the first two years of the Sea Wolves, that's what it will be like..."

"Right now, that's hard to believe. The difference between then and now is that, based upon what we have now, we have a coach who can't coach, an enforcer who can't fight, a goalie who can't tend goal, forwards who can't score and won't be able to under Walby's systems, and defensemen who can't play defense! (I'm going by overall statistics in general of these players as a group, and they're far from impressive.)

I hope you're right about the remaining signees because I just don't see anything to get excited about at this time other than the fact that it will be live hockey!"


What do you all think? Is walby a caoach who can't coach? Is Lenny Discostandzo a terrible goalie? Do you think the forwards that were just announced, one of whom LED THE SPHL IN SCORING can't score? Do you think they won't be able to handle Walby's system? Do you think the D-men can't play D?

Here's what I think: Shelby and JM are sycophants who like to hear themselves talk. They acutally know very little about the game of hockey beyond that they like to watch it in person.

Let's start with systems: What system did the team play the last two years, Shelby? Describe it for me, in hockey terms, and how you would have done things differently on the forecheck, breakout, and neutral zone play. I'm sure you have great ideas.

Now lets move onto the goaltending. What makes a good goaltender? Obviously it's not Morgan Cey, who had two great seasons before he came to Mississippi and had to shoulder a load that would have mentally broken nearly any goalie in the NHL. But you mercilessly booed him too. So now DiCostanzo sucks so bad he can't play in a lower league two years after you demanded that he start over Cey? Get a grip on yourself.

Forwards who can't score? Velemirovich and Tozzo look like they can.

Get real, girls. You don't know shit, and all you want is 1999 back.

But please, feel free to answer these questions. I'd love to hear your genius answers.
