As much as I like almost every player on the team, it does seem to me that consistently successful talent is simpoly not on the bench.
Here and there are sparks: Earl, Noreau, Wellman, Almond, Prosser, Cuma, Rau, ... but.....
After 38 games played the team should have made better progress.
Take a look at the Texas Stars:
they started out mediocre but have battled their way into the 2nd spot right behind SA Rampage.
The last placed team, the Icehogs win over Aeros.
Everyone keeps blaming the horrible schedule, but.....
The team is tired, too much travel, but....
Yes, am sure that has an impact, as has the injuries tally, but....
Now let's also take a look at the parent team, the Wild.
They, too, seem unable to consecutively post wins.
Yes, they have, too, lots of injuries, but....
At least the games attended thus far have provided us
(with the except of THAT-one-better -be-forgotten) some interesting,
even exciting (remember the rarity of 4 goals by Wellman) entertainment.
Prognosis: absent a huge miracle, the Aeros, again, will not reach the play offs.
And that, again, does not just lie with the coaching!
Without the right talent, coaches can only do so much!
42 games to go for the Aeros!
Shake it up!
Maybe this will inspire:
Other teams have 43 or even more to play!
Thus more chances to better their standings.
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL...
and Old Lang Syne..
as a real clarion call to remember!
