Typical Brooklyn apology

Marek Zagrapan. Who? Marek Zagrapan! Wouldn't know the guy if I ran him over. Must have had a two hour conversation about this player today. To any any make sense of this comment you will need to realize who I was talking to, know some history, go back to last nights game #136. JETS 3, AMERICANS 6 and check the game summaries.
"You prick, you put out my leading scorer, best player ... now what am I going to do?" Hmmmm. Not hard to believe I was listening, (not actually talking), to the Jets GM.at work. Seems Mr. Zagrapan was placed on injury reserve after the Americans triumph over the Jets. Sources say he will be out for 10 games. The tears. The utter disbelief. Bob is in shock. Forget about pathetic one line hockey teams. Are the Jets that unstable the're a one player hockey team?
"Coach told us at the start of the year to collapse down defensively and play tough in our zone" Stated Brian Pothier. "We didn't do this enough last year. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, you crash the net, sometimes you get rewarded...more than likely you'll get taken out.Pothier went on to say " After the whistle the only player who didn't get up was Zagrapan. He just laid there on the ice. He didn't move, but was screaming like a baby.
For the record, no penalty was called on the play and no suspension was assessed by the league after the game.
Still Bob's 'best' player is sidelined for 10 games. At the time the injury occurred Zagrapan's game stats read ... 0 goal, 0 assist, 0 points, 1 shot on net and a minus 2 rating. This is your best player? It might be better to forget him and move on. Try something else.
By the way, Thursday night, game #149. AMERICANS at JETS. Grudge match? Possibly. Retribution? Probably. Should the league offices show a presence at the game (for the Jets benefit at least)? A must!
