originally drafted 3rd overall by the Killingworth Guppies in
the 1996 Entry Draft. The Guppies re-drafted Tim 12th overall in
2003. Poulin answered questions from Killingworth-guppies.com users on
Thursday, September 18. Thanks to all those who submitted questions. Below are the submissions
that were chosen and Tim's responses.
A: It was Gordie Howe and then Wayne
Gretzky, but at age 12 or 13 Wayne Stopped scoring and was more of a set
guy. Set up guys are suckers, I'm all about the Goals! KYLE from Charlotte, NC asked: How did it feel
to start over with a new team? Was it hard? A: Hell No! I'm Tim Poulin, T PO if you will. When
you are as good as me starting out is never hard. All I do is go
out there, score goals and the guys love me. If I'm Brian Kelly
then yeah I'm struggling but not Tim Poulin. GREG from ST PETE, FL asked: What are the
differences and similarities in the role you have with the Guppies, compared
to the one you had with the CCSU? A: There's a lot of offense on this team and coming in I
thought I would be mainly on an offensive line all the time. I'm the Guy that
scores It's what I do. I did it in college and I do it now! NORA from Middlesex County, CT. asked: What part of your
game do you feel you need to improved as a Guppie? A: Nora, Are you kidding me? Look at the stats and
tell me what I need to improve.......How about nothing! I'm a great
offensive threat and when I want to I can play defense. Actually why should I
even play defense? That's the defensemen job! I'll score and do my job, they
better do their job and not let the other team score. Nora, I'm going to
leave some free tickets to Saturday's game...... Take some Notes! NICK from Newington, CT asked: What do you do after
you lose a tough game, Do you try to forget or try to learn from it? A: Immediately there's a way to forget it. After a
tough loss you probably find me in the Parking lot drinking a 30- pack
or either that on the phone talking to my agent to get me off this
team. After we lost the championship game last season, I think
I did both! luckily we don't lose often. TIM from RINDGE, NH asked: What are your
thoughts about Brian Kelly in the team's captain position? A: Good Question Tim, It must be the
name. Anyways, I think Kelly has worn out his position as the team Captain, I
mean he's been the Captain since 1995. I believe the captaincy needs some new
blood, A guy like me would be a great fit! DANIEL from NEWINGTON, CT asked: What happened
to you in 1996 that made you walk away from the bargaining table w/the
Guppies? A: Tim PONLIN Happened! They misspelled my
name, I'm Tim Poulin, I'm a top player and I need to be recognized as a
top talent! You can misspell Crayton, Kelly, Linskey, or Armenia but you
can't misspell POULIN! JAMES from MADISON, CT asked: With all
of the Guppies accomplishments over the years, Coming in did
you think you could be a guy to help continue the tradition? A: Listen, I have respect for the Guppies blue &
white jersey like players that wear the Montreal Canadians Red,
white and blue jerseys. I wanted to come to Killingworth to win Championships,
I was all messed up after last seasons OT lose in the finals. We are going to
win A lot more, Trust me! DARRYL from HARTFORD, CT asked: I was wondering why
you seem to be always late for games? A: Well Darryl, Do you have a wife and
new baby? I didn't think so! Hell you can't even get a date, who are you
kidding? Listen, I maybe late to games but when I get there I light
it up! Who else on the Guppies can do that? NO ONE! Don't worry about
me, you need to find yourself a girl! KYLE from Boston, MA asked: Where do you
think Killingworth is in terms of being a contender this year? A: Well, considering we are 11-0-0 and one win away from
a championship, I say we are a contender. Kyle, you put T PO on a team and
it's an instant contender! Thanks for the questions I'll be at the game late next week but I'll be
there after sporting my new Tee shirt! |
