After reading this article, and all the other articles that have littered the local paper lately, i do believe this is not the team we started the season with. Personnel changes, lack of “aggression” in the coaching, players being frustrated to a point of retaliation, and the bandwagon cheering and jeering has got to stop. Veterans are there for many roles on a team, be it teach, or provide guidance, or play with respectability a veteran deserves, maybe York supplied some of this but not all of it. This team needs the swagger it had in November. It needs it’s, excuse the term,set of “brass balls” back. The coach needs to pull all the stops and do a Mike Singletary move pull his proverbial pants down and light the fire under their asses we saw in November! He (Groulx) needs to start doing some yelling at everyone! Hell ill pay the fine if it gets our team back on the winning track! Vets need to lead, and fans need to scream, we need to become one whole unit again. Coach, Vets, team, fans, and walk with that chip on the shoulder we had early on and make teams afraid to play us, make them fear the Red, White, and Blue. When they skate on “OUR” ice they leave with the frowns, yelling at our fans about names we call them! If this staff cant find that in them call me i’ll light that fire and pour gas all over it with smile! I have never been a bigger fan of any team than i am of the Amerks and Im dam proud of what we have accomplished so far this year. Now we all need to do our parts and bring this back to the start and finish what we started, play to WIN, cheer for a dam good team that needs it’s fans, and Bring that cup back to where it belongs! York ill cheer for you when u get back! So all said, what’s missing from this team, that answer is simple, all of us.
