Hey guys
I am a HUGE Robin Big Snake fan and talk to him and from what I heard, he did get signed with them at least that is what he told me the other day. Also ran into Scotty Bowman but did'nt elborate too much on that though.
However this was a few days ago so things might have changed.
However when Robin was here in Owen Sound, he did have a fairly impressive record and definately proved what he could do on the ice is more then fight and could put the puck in the back of the net.
Robin needs a good team to make him truly effective and he proved his worth on the line with Bobby Ryan. One of the things about Robin is that once he is motivated and finds his groove, you can guranteed he'll be on the sheet at least once. He's gotten a few hatricks namely against Oshawa last year and at least one here in Owen Sound,maybe against Plymouth or Sagainaw.
Robin proves that he can skate and push down the ice when he chases the puck and does what he can to set up plays and almost always gets good oppourtunities.
The discipline problems are there, but when it comes down to it, he'll do what is neccessary when it comes to hockey.
On the personal side, he's extremely friendly and has been known to joke around with me
He's definately willing to be with the fans and do fan service.
He told me one night to get blood on my Big Snake jersey
Even picked up a nickname from the Attack broadcast crew as Mike Big Snake,hence my nickname Moniker.
I think he'll make a good addition to your team,if he's given the chance and will do the best he can and c'mon,who can resist a name like "Big Snake"
practically has Marketing all over it
We had Attack scarves and little Attack jersey's with his name and even a photo bobblehead
Look for me in the stands, Big guy with a Big Snake jersey in section X
