Okay, first off, we have a captain already. Jared Cowen. I'm a little surprised at the choice, but I'm pleased. He has the leadership skills and the overall knowledge of the game to lead this team. I'm actually more surprised that they picked a captain now instead of last season when they picked him in December.
Also, I have some more thoughts on the arrival of Kyle Beach. I was angry, but to my surprise it was not a 'Hulk angry! Hulk smash!' kind of angry. It was more like a Marvin Martian 'oooh, that makes me very angry!' kind of angry. Now that I'm calmer about this I have some more thoughts about this. I can only hope that he has matured over the past year. If you've read any website, blog, tweet, article, newspaper, and stone tablet about him you know he's very talented and knows how to find the back of the net. It's his lack of maturity that has caused problems in the past. I really hope he has gotten past that. And because I am about giving people a second chance.....I am willing to do the same for Beach. It's not like I have much of a choice if you think about it. I am a Chiefs fan. I support my team. That fact that Kyle Beach is going now wearing a Chiefs sweater is not going to change that. So here goes: Show me something, Beach. Show me I can be glad you're here. I'll be watching. Don't make me regret this.
During this I have also forgot to wish Mike Reddington the best of luck in Lethbridge. I think he'll fit in nicely there. But he will be missed here.
Now, it's game time! Season opener against Tri on Saturday. It's going to feel good to be back home again!
Go Chiefs!
