We've got an aged captain on his way down, FOUR AHL forwards dressed (Nordstrom, Leivo, Ritchie, Froese).

Amazing what fandom can do for a fella. I thought this team would be good, but they just aren't...so removing the expectation/hope of being a good team is rather freeing. Only chance we stand is if we overwhelmingly outwork the opposition on a nightly basis.

Laphroaig 10 here.
