Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5077785, member: 3834"] We can all debate and argue all we want as to where and how our players should play but the simple reality of winning #12 this season rests on two essential things. Health and luck! If we can have a healthy year and we can get a few lucky bounces at the right times, then I think it’s fair to say we are the favorite. Of course, that still doesn’t mean Paige goes out with a championship but it [B]will [/B]make it more likely. This roster is probably the best I’ve ever seen 1-14! Of course, some will say that the quality of player after the first 7 or eight does not matter and will make no difference, thus reducing the advantage that we have with this roster. I must reluctantly admit this argument has some validity but I still think having this kind of talent increases the likelihood that those players, even if they are not part of the regular rotation, may have opportunities to affect the season with their talent! In other words, I doubt many coaches are going to look at us and dismiss the fact that we have potential starters all the way down to the final roster spot! I have little doubt that we will have games this season that are massively affected by the contributions of one, or more of the 8-14 players. Finally, I‘ll just say this; I believe Sarah is going to be somewhere close to the same level as all our so called Mt. Rushmore players, Stewie, Maya, Dee, & Paige! I realize this is a big statement but it’s what I believe based on what I’ve seen and heard about her. Jana, though obviously less well known and with much less fanfare, also has a legitimate chance to be a truly special player! We already know that Ash, KK, Kaitlyn, and Azzi range from good to outstanding or beyond! We also know that we have a coach who, though getting up in years, just finished a season in which he did the best job perhaps of his entire coaching career! I have to say, I’m in Tony C mode and am fully convinced that, assuming the two things mentioned above; health and luck, we are coming for #12! PS: Don’t sleep on Ice! [/QUOTE]
