Make your predictions

Who will win and what will be the final score

Anonymous said...

I'll go with my usual score of 5 - 2 Cranbrook.

My prediction is Jack Glenn plays center, left wing, right wing, left defense, right defense and goalie. That'll solve all of the teams problems. This organization has been a complete disgrace since the 1st day the car salesmen bought this team. Fake it til you make it does not work long term in hockey. This is 100% Johnny boy and Mckee's making. The only hope we have is that when Jack ages out of the league this season his father John decides to sell the team to somebody who knows hockey. Once a top Canadian Junior A franchise turned into cellar dweller. Uh oh, it just occurred to me that they'll probably make Jack head coach next year...

The ignorant comments towards Jack need to stop. What don’t you get? The kid is 20… quit bashing young men playing the sport they grew up loving.

ron said...

I agree. The bashing of individuals has to stop. Enjoy the game and then go home and hate.

Say what you want about the ownership… but does Jack have anything to do with it? Or any say? No… the answer is no… he is a 20 year old young man… not making the decisions from “head office”. Direct your comments appropriately, where they should land. He is not the decision maker. Quit being a hater and please be responsible with your commenting. The boy has enough pressure with his father being the owner. Cheers.
