UP) (Strathmore) -- , ,The fact that ,the Sultans are having issues this year is a surprise to no one. , What is surprising is the team is in worse shape than usual. , For starters, the all-star break conditioning camp in Strathmore was not attended by anyone on the team, even Koach Gibbs who made attendance mandatory. , The continued investigation into alleged misappropriation of the team fund is affecting on ice performance. , Despite repeated attempts to contact Koach Gibbs, a comment has not been issued. , A comment from the Gibbs'' family driver (while driving the Gibbs children to private school), other than the condos in Hawaii and the new fleet of BMWs, no purchases out of the ordinary have occurred.
On ice, there''s a different line up each night and we''re unsure who the regular players are. , Concerns about goaltending have been put aside recently as Gregg''s GAA has dropped to almost 6.00, a career best. , At forward, aging , Steer is barely averaging a goal a game, but offsets it with a healthy 1.35 pitcher/game average. , Kindlein and his "Vegas lights" skates are having an off year. , Barr is making a case for the legalization of HGH, but there isn''t an injection that gives you skill *or* heart *or* coordination. , The return of Jayjo has been a disappointment but really, who expected much. , The super sophomore, Double L and rookie Scheiwiller have been bright spots but it won''t be long until the "Sultan Way" affects them. , As usual, no report needed for defence as you can''t discuss what doesn''t exist. , Gibbs, Gibbs, and Smith have decided since they''ve long ago abandoned defence, why not abandon offence as well. , Super sub Currie has been great most nights but other times appears intoxicated on the ice. , ,Another sub, Franks, appears content to stay in the minors pursuing a lucritive baking career. ,
This squad will have to be completely dismantled to have any chance of defending and has gone beyond embarrassment. , The team president, GM, koach, director of player ,personnel, executive wing orderer should be let go but no one wants his jobs.
