Carolina Hurricanes: The Panic Button
By Thomas G
Part 2 Extended
“You also argued we have prospects in the pipeline. Well, who? I’m sorry, but I just don’t see Nedeljkovic as our star goalie of the future. Do you think Carrick and Van Riemsdyk are future top-two defensemen? Face it red shirt guy-”
“I have a name.”
“Face it red shirt guy, we’re in a bad position. We have a sub-.500 record, and no prospects to look forward to.”
“Well, even if you are correct, how are you so positive management can’t get us out of this ‘Mess.'”
“Name one great move Francis had made.”
“Well.. uh…
he traded for Teravainen!”
“And that’s it. We’re coming off a decade of rebuilding; ten years to draft, trade for and sign good players. Francis has one good move to show for it. This gives me absolutely no confidence in our management.”
“Well how do you think we can become better? You’re just complaining.”
“I don’t really know. I guess we can sign grittier and experienced guys and wait for draft picks to come. If we’re lucky, our surplus of experience will pay off. But for now, it’s time to push the panic button.”
“Come on man, trust the management, here. They have a plan.”
“Oh yeah? What would that be, red-shirt?”
“What’d you call me?”
Red shirt!”
