So thanks to the 10+" of rain us Suffolk people had about 2 weeks ago, I have been rummaging through some older books. I had some water in my basement. So I had to pull out all the drywall, insulation, rug, etc... and see where things were coming from. Once corrected, I'm now in the process of putting back all the shelving, books, etc, where they were.
This book didn't stop me dead in my tracks, but it did throw a memory which I just wanted to share.
I haven't read this since I got it, probably back in 2002/03. It's signed by Bates and Aucoin, two large players that year and certainly in the playoffs. Not sure if I got that as a STH gift or I had it signed manually during a STH event.
I was at that game. What a memory --- we were all hugging each other after that PS goal.
But I'm pretty sure that Isles fans that night (at least me) had a feeling like -- WOW.. We have finally re-entered the NHL.. we are finally a voice...
But guess what --- that book was signed -- I'm only assuming here, that it was the end of a LONG era of failure, and Shawn and Adrian were signing it as a signal that it was over. We were nobody's, we made some acquisitions, and now we drove TML's to the brink and we have a bit of credit. Going forward, we are back as a solid team.
Well.. guess what. That changeover, didn't happen
I made a post last week about how excited I am about this team for the first time in a long time, and that still holds true. Just a reminder to all, that this is not a light -switch of of transformation, rather a conglomerate of changes which slowly gel into success. Try and enjoy the ride, hopefully the bumps will smooth out.
Will this Spring result in a successful playoff run or will it be just another missed playoffs? Nobody knows.
Ok.. All for now.. One love, people.
