Should make for an interesting pre-game meeting, too.
"Guys, we're starting Rittich. He kinda sucks so that way you can't take even a second off and take your goalie for granted like you've done lately with Jake. Make sure you don't let 'em get on shots on Dave, we all know what'll happen if we do! Heheh. Backcheck for bleep's sake, and maybe play some defense and try for some useful clean d zone exits. Maybe. Just for a change? For me?"
Ward looks over at Rittich.
"Davey, all I wanna say is, well, I dunno, the guys will do their best to not let the big bad black thingy get too close to you, but pretend it's a cookie and you're hungry, and you gotta touch it before you can eat it, k? Just in case it slips by our guys?" Ward then stops, shakes his head, glares at Rittich while throwing his water bottle against the wall. "Just stop the f.....g puck, will ya? Every now and then? Sheesh."
