Apparently, there are squirrels on the track at Dover.

So for a season review:


Carbury - not bad, the team seemed to play for him at times. He has been dealt a bad hand though.


Ovi - really just an awful year despite getting 30 goals.  Not sure how many 5 on 5 goals he had and for 2/3rds of the games he pretty much just half-heartedly skated around. He will keep chasing the record and it's going to be hard to watch.


Carlson - have to say he had a pretty decent year but he still made plenty of boneheaded mistakes.


McMike - seemed to take one step forward, then one back, but overall improved a fair amount.


Lappy - might be our best shot at a future top 6 guy.


Protos - regressed a lot after his contract signing. Hopefully they can get him playing with more fire.


Oshie - totally done and should retire but he will come back for the money - can't blame him for that.


Malenstyn - a very pleasant surprise. Hope they sign him long term.


Fehervary - our best dman, he had a pretty decent year with more improvement to come.


Willy - not great this year and wasn't skating that well - that knee injury might be a long-term issue.


Jensen - thought he had a pretty good year and has some speed which we desperately need.


Sandin - jury is still out, although his small size will continue to be a problem - especially in the playoffs.


Overall, we are obviously an old, slow team that isn't physical anymore and doesn't have any real star players.
