Coach Talk

big diesel
You know what, big diesel, we do appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Mike Hilton), while still getting a W. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Gringo's Team
This matchup was just a bit too spooky, Gringo's Team! It turned out that Cam Akers and Jack Doyle felt like ghosting on your team, while big diesel played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
