I made it back from another weekend of 14U softball. Sadly, they didn't come home with any hardware this time, and I wasn't very happy about coming home early. Who'da thought? I'm getting to the point where if I'm sweating my butt off on a ball field for 10 hours a day the entire weekend, I want to come home with something for my efforts. Not this weekend. Oh well. That's why it's a game.
So I found this article on our Islanders website, written by someone I don't know. Let's start the re-promo for Jon Sim articles. You remember Sim. Last year's signing, played for about 12 minutes. Well, he's ready to make a come back.
I'm glad to hear this because I was really tired of seeing him mope around the coliseum while his team mates were on the ice. I've never seen a man more noticeably unhappy about not being able to 'work.' He'd stand in the tunnel, in his dark suit and grit his teeth with his arms folded.
If you passed him in the hall, he wouldn't smile at you. The only thing that was going to make him happy was getting on the ice. Now, he'll have that chance. I can only hope that this season will prove more productive and less physically limiting than his previous seasons. Check the article link. His first full season was with Atlanta, and before then, the most games he played was how many? 48? Is that because he claims his style is aggressive agitator? Or is he just unlucky?
Buy a rabbit's foot Mr. Sim, and we'll see you on the ice.

It is great to finally make contact with you! This is Justin (NYIsles16 from IslesNet). I have read your blog many times and I am a big fan of your writing as well! Thank you for reading my blog and commenting. While I do not know Sean directly, I have met him before at team functions and even running into him in public and he is a great guy to me. I simply took my information from a few different sources that deal with him and have said such things. I admire him tremendously and think that he is truly a gifted player, and it is great to meet someone that has promoted him tremendously. It is just too bad that he won't get a nice length contract for a good price, because I feel he has earned to have some job security here on the island for the energy he brings game in and game out.
