The Dream I Had

I'm tired of bitching and worrying about this team so I'll fill you in on the dream I had last night, the parts I remember.

I was hanging out with David Conrad.  **swoon**  We really only talked about hockey once or twice.  I do remember asking him about Sam Grist.  Something about whether he thought Sam was just a rookie with a huge body making mistakes or what?  David told me rookies should be playing better than that, Sam's mistakes were bigger than just rookie mistakes.  So take that part of my dream for what it's worth.

We also talked about pool (totally random).  He asked if I wanted to hang out and play pool sometime this weekend.  I haven't played pool since college and I was never good at it so I'm not sure where this part of the dream came from.  The last thing I remember asking him was if he wanted to play pool before the game on Saturday or after the game on Sunday.  I know I was pushing for the post-game get together in hopes it would lead to something more LOL.

Dreams are so weird.

In other news, this was published on Annie Fowler's blog over the weekend, former American Mitch McColm now playing for the Allen Americans.

Not only is he wearing an Americans jersey, but he joins a roster that includes former Tri-City Americans forward Colton Yellow Horn and former Spokane Chiefs Judd Blackwater and Dustin Donaghy (must be hard for them to pull that jersey on).

McColm, 21, who finished his final WHL season with Chilliwack and Regina last year, played a handful of games for the Florida Everblades (ECHL) before being released Nov. 2.

According to comments on Woody Wommack’s Blades blog, a lot of people were not happy to see Mitch go. They believe the team will “have less brawn” and “he appeared to be about the only one who is willing to drop ‘em. That’s is really my only complaint with this team — no toughness being shown.” (Red Light District)

One item of good news for the Americans, is that their power skating coach Vanessa Hettinger of Quantum Speed in Edmonton, Alberta is in town this week to work with the team.  Wonder if she can help them with power scoring, power defense, and some power goaltending.  But hey, it's a start.
