Terry Jones on Saying Stupid Things

What they really need is the main man in the middle of the first line, scoring 40-plus goals and 50-plus points.

Terry, Shawn Horcoff has been, and continues to be, the main man down the middle. The big hole is on LW. Oh, and that trade that you suggest elsewhere in your column- Rick Nash for a combination of Parts including both Horcoff and Pitkanen, robs Peter to pay Paul. Gagner and Cogliano are not ready to assume the 1st and 2nd line centre roles, unless we are pulling the whole "baptize two sophomores with fire and miss the playoffs because they’re in the deep end drowning against elite competition" trick.

40 goals and 10 assists?

Just what I want from my first line centre.

But what better can you expect from a guy who still can't construct a paragraph with more than one sentence in it?

Let alone two coherent thoughts in the same sentence.

Whatever.

Keep those monosyllables rolling, Jonesy.
