Castors Win :(

OK you already know, Castors won the cup. Now it's time for the good stuff:

First off here's a comment from cup-winner John O'Callahan: "I happy that the Castors won the cup. I really love Randy and he deserves all the credit for putting a team together that overcame adversity. With the Front Office changes, I just feel it in the best interest for me to move on to another team. They have a coach that I can not play for. I understand that I might go cheap and that is fine with me, but if I do not move, I will just retire. It is that simple. I will be happy and honored to play for anyone else in the league. From top to bottom." Basically OC wants out. He's said to me earlier that Castlegar is willing to accommodate and will trade him.

Secondly there's some big news out of Austin. The Marauders have made two HUGE trades, bringing in two big time players and shipping one out. I am not at liberty to discuss details, but trust me, this is some big shit.

Third is the beginning of the free agent chaos. Numerous guys, including FA defense man Zach Alexander have agreed in principle to deals. As many of you know, Alexander is headed to Montreal.

Fourth, I know this is a lot of stuff, is the Chris Bell situation in Castlegar. It's a clusterfuck if I've ever seen one. It hasn't been confirmed that he is a restricted free agent. I believe there are two teams who are big players, one of which I think is the Austin Marauders. But the bottom line is this: Bell is done in C-Gar.

That's just about it for now. And to paraphrase Top Gear, "On that bomb-shell it's time for me to go."
