The Reaper's Time Has Come

With the Alaska Aces winless streak now at 14 games, the team has decided to make a move and fire head coach Stu Grimson. Grimson, nicknamed the Grim Reaper during his time in the NHL, was brought in at the start of the season to replace Bob Probert, who passed away during the off-season. Even though Grimson had no previous coaching experience, he was brought in as he knew Probert very well and it was thought he'd be able rally the team around the memory of Bobbie.

The team also announced the 'C' has been taken away from D Drew Doughty, as his defensive play has been very poor and there are rumors speculating he's been a moody distraction in the dressing room.

The Aces got off to a HOT start, but have completely tanked of late. C Zach Boychuk was leading the PMHL in scoring through the first several games, but he has gone stone cold. C David Krejci, projected to be the #1 Center, has only 8 points through 42 games, and he's a -14.

The team has yet to name replacements for Grimson and Doughty. Management is hoping that these drastic moves will provide the team with a 'SHAKE'-up.

For the Colorado Complainer, this has been Nathan Livingston.
