Colorado Mammoth Message Board

Steve, thanks for the great Summer Scoop article/interview on the Mammoth site.

As always, you give tons of detail about what's going on with the team.

Steve..

It was an awesome article...! I do have two questions...

Is Gee Nash coming back? Also what are we doing to address goaltending? I have been looking at Leyshon's stats in the WLA and it looks like he is having a rough time.

Please see my answer to the "what can we expect..." question for the answer to the Gee Nash issue.

Leyshon did look like he struggled this season statistically but the story goes beyond the stats. The Burnaby Laker Senior team in the WLA was hit with 12 players that decided to not play this past season. Their team was essentially decimated and aside from Bryan Safarik, their captain, and a few others, they were left with a multitude of smallish players from Senior B last season.

Andy faced a ton of shots this summer, from places that he shouldn't have seen so many shots from, he feels like it was a great experience even though it was a painful one.

I watched him play in two games and thought he was outstanding. He is excited to come back for the Mammoth and play in front of the very big, very physical defense that we are assembling.

I have every confidence that he will be in All Star form come training camp.
