Way to go Tony. Now we're going tohave all of those jobbers coming in here ranting about how Emerson should be our new head coach and Paluch should be fired :wink:

Well, he should.

Actually, I just want to sit back and watch as Emerson and Blake slowly turn the Kings franchise into BG West. Brown and Orange sweaters can't be far behind! :wink:

Anybody else catch the last line of Nelson's bio?

"Nelson and his wife June have four children: daughters Mackenzie and Madelyn, and sons Quinn and Blake.

Quinn and Blake just happen to also be the last names of two of Nelson's former teammates at BG: Joe Quinn and Rob Blake. Coincidence? Maybe it's his own personal tribute to two good friends.

they all lived together on Manville for a few years. Thank goodness they didn't have another son or he'd be named Frenchie. :wink:

I count 7 on that roster that ended up playing in the NHL...and almost all of them played for awhile, too. Impressive indeed.

The next couple of years in the hockey program have the potential to be amazing! This is awesome because us youngins will finally have awesome stuff to talk about like all you alums who were here for the NC! So far the best athletic memories I have are last years home game against the maze and blue, and espn gameday at the doyt. Can't wait to build my own solid base of memories in this place!!!!!!!! Luckily I'll be here for like 9 years, that should be plenty long enough to find some good stuff.
