Does Staios need to practice his Guitar Hero skills before he can hang with Gilbert?<BR/><BR/>I wish Stoll was still around to bring the team on a big cougar crawl.Ribshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163905885771636021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648556457874572949.post-45705591922534685012009-04-06T11:15:00.000-06:002009-04-06T11:15:00.000-06:00David: The Stanley Cup ring certainly has a cachet...David: The Stanley Cup ring certainly has a cachet to it, but whether there's a big difference between Eric Cole who won Game 7 vs., say, Fernando Pisani or Shawn Horcoff who lost it, who knows. They've all been to the Big Dance. <BR/><BR/>Your comment about Cole being liked by the young guys is significant; my big concern here is that you have a group of 30-plus guys who are naturally going to gravitate together and another group of 26-minus guys who are likely to do the same. It seems to me the missing link in the 27-29 bracket is likely to exacerbate the separation of those two groups.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190620732067746768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648556457874572949.post-17069774974321876912009-04-06T00:33:00.000-06:002009-04-06T00:33:00.000-06:00Very interesting Bruce.

While our vets have "been through the wars", there aren't a whole bunch of Stanley Cup rings coming into the room every day. I remember hearing that Cole was really liked by the young guys, and I can't help but wonder if his winning aura wasn't part of the equation. <BR/><BR/>You see a guy who won a cup and I bet you'll take what he says alot more seriously than the bunch of role players we have as vets. I can't imagine how it must be for a young guy in Detroit. I'll bet they don't have the communication problems we might have here.David Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626138518558099447noreply@blogger.com
