Coach Talk

Frosty Follies's Swell Team
Listen, Frosty Follies's Swell Team, we do respect the confidence. Starting not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still earning a win... talk about arrogant! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
