OI-SYORMY WEATHER-NOOOO! what do you mean exactly'sticking up for ogdens' I wouldn't stick up for them if they were the last corporation on this godforsaken planet! as for the strength in depth of blazer's bully boys, while they have some top players such as robins,laxdal,adey etc would you want to pay more to watch talentless goons such as simon hunt(although blezer must get credit for giving brits a shot) who's only real worth to a team is dropping the gloves and generally seeing how many PIMs he can rack up. also if you care to cast your mind back a couple of months or so you will recall that the panthers would have gone bust if someone hadn't bailed them out, and now of course the sheffield steelers(a team that once had points deducted for breaching a salary cap) are also in financial s&@$ would you really like the storm to risk being in such a situation trying to buy success at any cost because ogdens will never be willing to do a 'jack walker'. one more question for you - if you were a coach who had somehow aquired 24+ players as talented as say craig woodcroft how the hell would you keep them all happy as regards ice time when everyone is healthy? fetch yourself into the real world bud.
