Well, I haven't found a news release on Eli getting released yet, but he's not on the line-up on the Cougars home page. It kind of surprises me that it was Grossman and not Patterson, but maybe Curtis brings a little more to the team, or there's some other intangible that kept him. Either way....its not too shocking to see a d-man go as we are sitting with 9 right now, and barring injuries again, thats way to many.
I know what you mean KBF, by should have been someone that started the year well getting picked for the Can/Russia Challenge. I thought Tyrell, or even Robertson would have been picked, but sooo much of hockey is based on reputation and what you've done, not how you're doing now. Oh well, I'm sure Dana will get his shot at this, and many other, teams in his time.
I understand this is a rebuilding year, but come on boys!!
