I thought today i would up date everyone on a couple of blogs i wrote previously. On Sunday the Windsor Spitfires not only won the Memorial Cup they dominated the other 3 teams, during their 4 game run they trailed there opponents a total of 3;02 and out scored the 3 teams 29-9 that translates into an average score of 8-2.25 and won Sunday 9-1 in the championship game. The head coach Bob Boughner and general manager Warren Rychel deserve a lot of credit and i know they have 3 first round picks and 2 of the top 3 being drafted this summer in the NHL draft, although it's not on the same scale but i had a simular type team that all i needed to do was instruct and they carried it out, the hard part is gettong them to buy in on the team concept.
I was surprised to hear Spitfire management say that the name on the front is more important than the name on the back of the sweater, this was also taught to me as a player and passed on to my players when i became a head coach. They exibited that very trait not just now but for a remarkable 2 seasons. This is a good reason for the people of Windsor to celebrate since they haven't had a lot to cheer about lately.
On a different subject the oil spill in the gulf is moving slowly and yet the mess is widenlng and is now reported to be 10 miles inland in the middle of the Lisisiana wetlands killing the spawning grounds for many wildlife, Late last week Newfoundland-Labrador Premier Willams stated in the legislator that we have to move forward for economic reasons and there will NOT be any issues like B-P is having in the gulf as this is an isolated case. I wish i were wrong but i said this very thing about the federal government and not the provinceas i felt the locals would care especially with a fragile economic fishing fleet
Stay tuned for more on this subject as i believe we're headed down a slippery slop, See you soon....
