POW? Does that mean Player of the Week or Prisoner of War? I'm guessing the latter, since he didn't play the system, yet he hasn't been released or sent back to Norfolk :)
Blake, Although the ECHL did not metion it, lets give Smitty an honorable mention. He deserves it. Thats a very strong line right now. Ryan's achievement has a lot to do with Smitty's hard work also.
Seriously? So....if a Norfolk guy wins an award, it has to come with an asterisk that contains a "core" guys name?
Lol
Blue Line Baby, it's nice to hear from you again!
