Scratch...
"Syvs, I need to see you in my office," said the coach after the morning skate.
My heart beat a little faster... hoping that maybe, JUST MAYBE, I was getting a chance to head to Edmonton. Maybe they needed a d-man.
But it was quite the opposite.
He's "disappointed" in me and my dedication to the team. I don't spend time with my teammates, and leave Springfield every time I get a chance. Well, duh. Why should I stay here, when what I really care about is nowhere near here? Why be here, when I can be with Cogs?
So he sat me... the alternate captain in the pressbox as a healthy scratch, to give me time to think about my playing, and where my game is.
What I really wanted to do was think about it on a plane to Edmonton...
