GAME NOTES
Here’s the final set of game notes for the 2007-08 season. I’ll say this; it’s a heck of a lot more fun, and way easier, to do game notes when your team is winning.
GUTS GARBS
Josh Garbutt could have easily pulled the chute, sat out the last few games with an injury, and collected a few extra weeks of workman’s comp pay. But, he returned to the lineup and scored a goal for the Bees on Wednesday. That’s guts, and that’s character. There’s always a few guys throughout the leagues who mysteriously come down with “injuries” in the last few games of the regular season, usually when the team is out of the playoffs.
IN THE HUDDLE
As the Killer Bees season winds down and the Dorados kick off, I’ll be focusing the majority of my attention on the af2 team and the new IN THE HUDDLE news blog at www.doradosfootball.com. Which isn’t to say I’ll be ignoring this site here. Most of you know hockey is my passion, so I’ll be piping in with the usual news and commentary I usually post here, albeit a bit less frequently. Rest assured as soon as there are signings, etc., this will be the place to find out.
JUGO
In response to Jugo’s lengthy comment under the BATS DOUBLE UP BEES headline…
Scouts? There’s one team in this league that actually lists a full time scout. Can you guess who it is? Recruiting in the CHL isn’t really “scout” based. It’s an inexact science. You talk to people. You list guys you want and think you can get. You played with a guy’s current coach and see if he’s going back there. You played for the guy’s coach in junior, etc.
The process of recruiting for next season probably began a month or two ago. I know Coach Fixter and Coach Gillam have a master outline of what and who they want for next year. Now it’s a matter of waiting for the playoffs to end to officially make offers.
Who will return from this year’s team? I have an idea, but certainly won’t publicly comment on that until I’m given confirmation and the green light by the two guys who run the show on the bench.
