Not only do we feel we have a lot of speed and the grit, but enough scoring. We think our depth on defense is as good as it's ever been. And when you get in these short tournaments, a hot goaltender can lead you a long ways.

He's about as predictable as a Wasp on speed.

I'm not a scoring machine.

Not scoring one for the whole calendar year last year was a bit disappointing but I didn't really feel any pressure to get my first one as skipper,

I'm not concerned about scoring at all. We could miss every shot we take, but I think we'll get shots. My concern is, can we rebound with them? I think we can guard them a little bit. I'm very concerned once the shot goes up because I don't know if we can consistently rebound.

He's a perfect fit. He's going to stretch the court for us. He has speed and over the top scoring ability. There are a lot of things that you can talk about a long time with him concerning his ability, talent and athleticism.
