Stepaaan's got the best one, hands down!! His beard's now longer than his hair, yay:-)

Grantham has the best stache of the bunch, goes well with the beard. I give the balanced approach a 7 at the moment, the other three are tied for second with 6.5's.

Regan, your a class act, after the way you handled all that controversy, your a 9.5 (Only females ever get a 10 in my rating system...so your about as high up the scale as you can go. LOL)

I really hope that you guys can come out of the west i'm pretty sure that you will face the Hitmen but I guess I can't count out the Wheaties just yet. It does not matter to me who you guys play I will be cheering for the Rockets anyways.

One last thing is there anyone out west who can take on Grantham and beat him in a fight. I know out here there is not anyone who can. When he played for Moose Jaw and the Pats played them Grantham didn't fight much he was to busy trying to be flashy. I have always said that if Grantham just played his game which is crash and bang and keep other teams players. Inline when they go after the top guys he will make the nhl. So I guess what I am trying to say is I hope that Grantham is doing what he does best for you guys.
Go Rockets Go

I say that Dowzak wins by a mile he has a good playoof beard not groomed at all. All the other guys look like they have red carpet beards.

Do you guys remember Matt Kinch's bread in the playoffs when he played for Calgary all you could see was hair and eyes lol.

Matt Kinch had a beauty. So did Ryan Cuthbert and Brett Palin when they were lifting the WHL trophy over their head.

wow... Weber & Schenn named to team canada. not to mention all the others from the whl

Regan Bartel said...

I have a call into Shea Weber and will air that interview sometime this weekend. He is off to Switzerland tomorrow to meet up with Team Canada. It always comes in handy to have Web's on the cell phone directory.

Fan, I have to agree, a few months ago I was pretty vocal about the lack of effort in a few games against bottom dwellers. I chalked it up to coaching at the time. In the playoffs, we have seen flat periods but we have not yet seen complete game letdowns. Huska seems to leave it up to them to self motivate...at least thats what he says in the post game interviews. Maybe we are starting to see the result of that strategy. It kind of makes me nervous but I have never coached in the WHL. IMO I think the talent is too much for Vancouver. Calgary - Kelowna final will be fantastic....not that I'm looking past the Giants (ok mabey just a little...good thing Huska doesn't coach me, I'd be playing in the Memorial cup already).

Grantham is protecting McColgan lately but I'm not sure he needs protecting (McColgan that is). It would be unbelievable to see Grantham hit like Gogol but at his size he should be hitting like Weber. He may be more of a flat out fighter than a hitter (which is much better than a lover, or have I got that backwards?).

Cheers Rockets, I have the faith.
