A Call From the Motherland

[Grape 528]

Coming into his office this morning, the Ottawa Lynx GM notices that there’s a message on his answering machine, from a 495 number. He listens to it, and surprisingly, it was from Vladimir Putin. The message was short, basically praising the GM for the job he’s done with the minor league team, putting up great numbers in a relatively short amount of time, complimenting the roster makeup, and so on. Then he segways into his displeasure with the current standings of the Moscow Menace, the VHL team that’s basically in his backyard. Overall, he is very upset at the path @Spartan is taking, and believes, while the team cannot always be the best, that the team should never be the worst in the league.

 

“It is an embarrassment to all of Russia, and needs to be remedied!”

Putin goes on to allude that a shift in management may be occurring for the Menace, albeit not voluntarily. He advises the Ottawa GM to have his bags packed and be ready for any sudden movement in the GM world, and that a spot in the big leagues may be opening up soon.

All this comes after @twists' article about Moscow being the worst team ever, and could mean that Spartan may be out the door very soon. Ottawa has been known to make big moves when going in for a push, and with all the assets Moscow has, that might be what’s needed to get the Menace out of the basement.

Apparently there is a 'Dacha' in Kamchatka with Spartan's name on it
