Coach Talk

The Botters
You know what, The Botters, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes moxie to start a player with zero points (Pat Freiermuth), while still earning the W.
Meeska Mouska
Tis the season, Meeska Mouska! We hope the GM of The Botters will send a thank-you card for the generous 108.56-point gift this past week.
