Why Coyle? Spell check
Oh Goody...Craptain Shrock is back. I'd rather have Coyle at forward quite frankly.
Here's hoping these two young men can add some fire and zeal onto this team. As everyone knows, this has been a season of mostly disappointment.
The Komets deserve a break as an organization. The statistics of these two are pretty nice and I hope it translates into many wins. It sounds as if the GM and Coach have done a nice job!
Well Alan...I agree with u this time..but would have liked 2 see GM & coach take u up on your prior discussion of the 2 other available goalies.. time will tell...& very shortly indeed..next several games should tell...
