A: This past off-season had been great.
I went into the weight room, running in the gym and using the bike. Yeah
Right!!! I'm usually just sitting at home with some Krispy Kreme
doughnuts and some Guniess. I gots to eat something, normally I got
Wu-tang rockin my new crib! By the way whats your #?
STEVEN DE COO from Killingworth, CT asked:
What was your reaction to the loss of Tim Gessner and Mike Halle? Does that put
more pressure on your defenseman?
A: Who??? Kidding! It was disappointing to lose
Halle and Gessner. They were great players as well as a great guys in the
locker room, but the thing about that has to be them moving Kelly to Defense. I
was beside myself when I heard the news. This season he's off Defense and
hopefully we never have that happen again, especially when Hal gets back.

more of a leadership role next season?

CARL STAFFORD from CLINTON, CT asked: Which
off-season addition do you think will help your team the most this upcoming

added one guy (Dan Pequita) I'm thinking he might be the greatest
acquisitions we made this season. You must hang out with
"Team Old Guy"......... A Lot!!
CHAD from WESTBROOK, CT asked: How do you think
the team will do this year with Tim Poulin healthy?
A: If Timmy stay healthy then we can go as far as the
Championship. He's a great player and as we saw last year he can take you
a long way. However, Tim has never won a championship, Chad!
I'm really the star on this team......Protect your neck
DEB from NYC asked: Can you revisit the day you first
played for the Guppies?

chance, I'm fantastic.

like you've reached your potential as goaltender or is there still room

yourself, you are wasting my time! Punk!
CHRISTOFFER from DANBURY, CT asked: What's are
your personal goals for this season?
