I had the most bizarre dream over the weekend. I don’t know what to make of it.
We all know the holes in our team-- they are many. And we have basically had the same holes for years – with Snow and Wang apparently not caring about it. “Too much money to spendâ€, “Team is being soldâ€, “Cheapo Wang strikes againâ€, “Snow sucksâ€
But here is where it gets weird.
The season was about to start, and the Isles, MADE HUGE MOVES TO IMPROVE THE TEAM.
First off – We replaced all of our goalies with guys who can play and who aren’t old or incredibly young. It was fantastic.
Then --- we added depth! I mean, we added some names who can play, have been somewhat successful, and whose names don’t end in “Comrie†or “Holikâ€
The entire fanbase was giddy. We couldn’t control ourselves. Posts were going up on the board quicker than you could keep track. Bway Jay’s Corsi machine was overheating with glee.
And just when you’d think things were calming down --- the dream got even more surreal.
We got TWO defensemen. No – NOT Martinek and a 19 year old from Bridgeport, rather two established HEALTHY, PROVEN, NHL CUP WINNING DEFENSEMEN.
Guys--- I woke up in a cold sweat, crying and laughing with emotion.
Too bad it was just a dream
Or was it?
