The Express Gazette (Volume V): Twas the night before 82....

[BarzalGoat 728]

Twas the night before 82, and all through the E, not a GM was trading, not even Thad or Me! My second year at the reigns was about to begin, after a disappointing season where we thought we might win. But not all is lost, the wait isn't much longer, because some old friends are returning, and they'll make our team stronger. With Protagonist in goal, and Zeljko, Trenton, and Pistol Pete on the blue line, our returning defense looks mighty fine. Then up front we return MVP Kyo and Mats Zucarello, who are used to throwing pucks into the net while keeping calm and mellow.

 

I'd be remised of course to not mention the new, for we have prospects coming up, JohnnyX and Komaryk too! They spent a year in the M, honing their skill, and now we can test their power of will! Through trade we were able to bring in Simeoni, who will play this year, hopefully the hometown crowd can pronounce his name to cheer! Then of course there are the new players from season eighty-two, where Kovy, Obi, and Dusty find themselves in a place very new. One forward, one defense, and also one goalie, our team looks solid, and not very hole-y!

 

So this was our offseason, and as 82 draws near, we scream from the rooftops: COLOGNE, THIS IS OUR YEAR!
