WORD OF THE YEAR: WOOT!

Hiiiiiidyyyyyy Hoooooooo!!!!!!!!! Thought I would drop in and see how everyone was doing. (FYI this is the second time I post an article in here since the departure…if you missed the first, I have it on the blog).

Well looks like December 23d came early this year. That’s the bad news. The good news is that our “charge” will also come early this year…hopefully in time for a charge into a playoff spot. After last night’s game I realized that the team is playing just fine. The errors and brain farts were all results of nervousness. The team hasn’t got a shred of confidence, including the young Price. But the camaraderie remains. It is not as apparent as before. This is expected given that the entire locker room is as timid, nervous and insecure as a vegan working in a slaughter house, but given some of the characters in the locker room and behind the bench, things are bound to change.

With Huet’s immanent return to the crease with a series of air fresheners, we should be able to see the blue color once more. Price should get control of his bowels back and stop pooping all over net, because no matter how cool and calm hid demeanor comes across, it is ludicrous to expect any 20 year old to be able to put up with and mitigate the pressure of being a number 1 and HAVING to win games, and this has been apparent by his play as of late. He can get back into his comfort zone as back-up playing 40% of games, and get back to winning games via his spectacular saves and solid positioning.

In the meanwhile, a series of solid performances by the guys in masks with blue and yellow pine trees ducked-taped to their pads should be all that is required to get the momentum back on our side, get the confidence growing, and start winning games.

As a final note, it’s good to see that some of our contributions have been recognized by Webster’s Dictionary. The new word of the year by popular vote: WOOT
