Now I am not saying these guys specifically buy guys like this. This was the supporting cast of 2004 that let the stars be stars. There are very few guys on the current roster that compare to this group. These guys played hard EVERY NIGHT!!!! They played for each other and this city. There are way to many passengers on this roster for it to ever be consistent. Coach after coach has said this group lacks consistency. There is no character or leadership on this team. Look at every guy on my list and they all were leaders, and yes I include Kobasew because he worked his ass off when he was here. Last nights game( Columbus) was a perfect example of how no one on this team steps up to lead.....and sorry but I think Jarome is just tired of always having to be that guy. Kippers #'s are horrible because he cannot stop 20 point blank opportunities a game. Free these guys and ditch the dead weight. Look for character in return and in the off season.
