LOOK

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

“Look”, that is the new word to start every sentence with and it is what our President-Elect does.

Look, think I am kidding? Check him out as he says in response to a question, “Look, as I said during my campaign”….”Look, our country needs a new direction”…”Look, we can’t rehash failed policies of the past.”

Look is the new “in” word; 

Look. It is better than starting a sentence with “you know”;

Look is so much better than “Listen”;

Look. ”At the end of the day” is certainly passe;

Look. ”Let me say this about that” went out in the 70’s;

Look. You can no longer start sentences with “well” to buy time;

Look is more visionary than “hmmmm”;

Look…Look is here to stay. Got it?

Look. ”Look - thank you.”

Five AHL D Men

Not much else to say, it was a gritty performance; wonderful coaching; and a two point night with yet another injury.

And it doesn’t get easier as we flew to Carolina and arrived at 2:00 am and then have to play at 5:00 pm when we are even more shorthanded than when we started the weekend. Life goes on.

At least we get some rest until Wednesday after tonight’s game. We get a chance to heal up, practice and get our bearings. In the nine years we have owned the club, I can’t ever remember the injury bug hitting us like this and I can’t ever remember our club being as deep organizationally and as committed to a system and to winning. I am very happy and very proud. Hope you are as well because what we are doing is quite unusual.
