I received a blistering email today from a “long time and avid fan”, his words not mine. In it, he says he watched last night’s game on TV and was so terribly disappointed in our play; our goaltending; our lack of hitting; and how we need to trade this player and that player for this player and that player.

The email ranted on and on.

I have just responded to him and asked him how he saw the game on TV when it wasn’t televised.

Bad game. We played with very little energy last night and we really felt the effects of being so shorthanded. We will get it together at practice today and get back at it tomorrow night. Hopefully some of our injured players will start to get worked back into our lineup maybe tomorrow night and then by the weekend.
