Euro_Twins 4,485 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Because it's Ken Holland. also because our defense has been sub par (to be generous) thus far, and with even more injuries now he can't risk it getting worse. That and we can't deplete the GR defense completely they are down to 6 d-men without smith and lashoff as is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,755 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 I tried to be cool and charm a little info from Ansar Khan on the mlive story. I called my buddy who works for mlive and (half) jokingly asked him to call Khan and squeeze him for info. I might resort to flat out begging him for info if he doesn't break the story soon. Clearly, patience is not a virtue I exhibit with any sort of class. 1 Euro_Twins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilzyme 769 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 Because it's Ken Holland. Wouldn't it be completely opposite? Ken Holland strictly believes in developing through the draft and in-house. "Because it's Ken Holland" would normally result in him calling up Max Nicastro, instead of searching for an UFA. Nah i'm just busting your chops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I was just about to go barge in to the mlive building here in Ann Arbor throwing my hands in the air requesting information about this. SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME DAMN INFORMATION. I can't even be productive on game-days, and then they throw me this information this morning? God.

"Because it's Ken Holland" would normally result in him calling up Max Nicastro, instead of searching for an UFA. Nah i'm just busting your chops. Good point. OK, it's half-Holland. It's an "outsider," but it's a veteran (which, in my mind, means fairly old guy. Which, of course, Holland lurves.) EDIT: Wait, are we sure it's someone from outside the system? I sware I read something about Paetsch somewhere earlier this morning. Edited January 22, 2013 by Dabura 1 evilzyme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man, our girlfriends could easily feel the pain together. Mine made the big mistake at buying me a subscription to GCL for this season (i know i know, we shouldn't have supported them but it feeds my addiction). Let's just say, this household has been playing hockey 24/7 whether I have it playing in the living room, our office, or our bedroom. I don't think she's seen me not watch hockey since the beginning of the season. i've been glued to every game watching over everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
