Colts PR

Not impressed with the recent play of the colts, coach Franschetti knew it was time for a change. The changes started in goal as underachieving 9/9 goalie Chris Beckford Tseu was not pulling his weight with a bloated 4.65 GAA and a rough .849 save %. " I think the youngster just needs some more time to reach his comfort zone and become the back stop we believe he can be" stated coach Franschetti. Luckily, the colts have Tomas Kubes, another quality starter. With Kubes in nets the Colts a 1-0-1 which included a solid 4-2 win over the Wolverines tonight. "Kubes has only played 2 games so far but he looks like he might take the ball and run with it. He played a solid game tonight against the Wolverines. Last year most would say a win against them would be a given but GM Colston has added some quality talent to the farm squad and they are not an easy win like in the past."
The other big change made was to swap both winger on the 1st and 2nd line. The top line was scoring but they were not defensively cohesive at all with -5 plus/minus so far this season. Against the wolverines tonight the new top line was dominant scoring 3 of the teams 4 goals and totalling 7 pts.
Unfortunately, not all the news was good tonight for the colts as young center Evan McGrath was savagely taken out during a scrum between the combatants. "The refs were not able to see which Wolvs player took him out but if we're able to find out then retribution will be taken by our players. Evan told us he was poked in the eye during the scrum. We will not settle for that kind of play. I doubt GM Colston would condone this type of play. We lost a good player tonight for 8 games because of a dirty play" stated coach Franschetti.
