End of Season Musings-----

[Snickers]

Now that another season is behind us, a few thoughts.

Major league kudos to the Marketing & Ticket Sales Depts !!!!
To have an increase in attendance last season & this season
with a mediocre team, shows they're getting butts in the seats.
I still find it quite telling this all happened last year when
Bob Sack, the "marketing guru," resigned.

Call-ups were a part of their struggles, but it happens to EVERY
team, so no excuses there.
They did have a talent shortage, that being a
Jim Nill/Bob McNamara "thing".

Coaching also played a role in their season. Many nites the
Griffins were not prepared to play----- that is coaching, my
friends. Standing around, watching in their own end, getting
beat consistently to loose pucks. They often played dumb hockey.
If you have a talent shortage, you work smarter, not just
harder.

I am going to take up Bob Kaser's invitation to offer up my
comments/praise/criticisms & suggestions, as I believe this
group in the Marketing Dept. is much more accepting of
suggestions than the last bunch.
And I encourage you folks to do the same.
Should be an interesting summer/fall.
All for now...........
