As a season ticket holder of the Rocket I am totally confused right now. We do have some skilled players on our roster. Players like Trukhno, Stewart, Gragnani, Mior. We just got Anton Skorykh here from Russia and he's looking pretty good. It will take time for him to adjust to the life and style of play of N.A hockey but so far he looks fine on the ice. Laliberté is still out with a back injury since last season and we really miss him. He is 35 goal scorer IMO and would help us out a lot. Stewart just looks as he does not want to be here, as his play is nill.
There is a lot of talk about coach Jean and his "style".
He learned his system from Sags coach Martel which should explain a lot.
I have been to a lot of the boys practices and there is a lot of skating going on, but it's not that bad. There consistantly doing drills or sorts and there is the "normal" amount of body contact going on.
The comment on Al MacAdam maybe coming to PEI next season, I call that false. Our problem right now is that the GM Savard made some mistakes and the team is suffering for that right now.
Depending on what happens during the trading period, I think that we will have a pretty solid team next year as we have a good group of young talent and with players like Trukhno,Gragnani, Mior and Skorykh I believe we will be in fine form.
