The La Times article was definetly a downer. I hope Deader and ally are back soon

Agreed...a bit of a downer but pretty accurate. Looking at the Who's Gone/Who's new list I find it kind of amusing for the pessimists/naysayers over at the other BB. Who can honestly look at the list of scrubs whove left and some of the quality brought in and think we wont be an improved team. Give some time to Deader and Allison to recover and when they come back we will be a tough team to play against.

...we will be a tough team to play against.
you sound like andy murray.... :D

What are your projections for Allison and Deadmarsh this year (games played and points)?

Tough to predict, but I think we will see Deadmarsh on the ice before Allison

i'd be happy if we can get them to play 65 (maybe 70) quality games played this year.

AM said yesterday on Smacksaw's show that he was "optimistic" that Deadmarsh would start the season with the club. This was at 6:30 pm on Monday. He also said there was "significant improvment" day by day and week to week for BOTH skaters.

i tihnk deadmarsh will be good for about 70 games, and if he's able to hit his stride fairly early, he will get 30 goals.

my guess on allison is more like 60 games (both of these assuming no further injuries), a slow start, but finishing with about 60 points.
