His Wish Was Granted

Columbus, OH cajn: Wow, are you kidding me, does GM Colston have a old dusty lamp that he rubs every now an then? If there ever was a time to eat humble Crow, now is it.

I would have bet the farm that GM Colston would have stayed out of the running for Tomas Vokoun. With that being said, I can't believe the GM Colston and the Jackets were able to land the #1 goalie of the PHL9 season for a mere $300k.

GM Colston was unavailable for comment, but the behind the scenes Coach, Don Cherry had a few words.

Mr. Cherry, Who do you think are the stars in the front office for bring Vokoun to Columbus? "As you know Joe, I don't hold anything back. As to your question, No. 1 - the Zamboni driver. No. 2 - an usher. No 3. - a guy selling popcorn."

I know I'm going to regret this, but it goes. Is there anything that gets your blood pressure up and causes you to say bad words? "You mean words like shit, hell, son of a. I better stop and keep my lips together at this point. You know GM Colston says that he is the only one who can curse. Do you remember the draft a few days ago, he was on a roll."

Wow Don, I'm a little surprised that you didn't say more. "Nah I’ll be nice tonight Joe … it would be far better to act all reserved, then break out in a D- Mack-like verbal diarrhea explosion. you know, that way we can live up to our Classy image."

The Jackets can now focus the up coming FA Draft. With very deep pockets, look for GM Colston to go all out and find the Jackets a RW and D.

The Wolverines could could use up-grades as well. A solid D-man and C will help the farm club.
