Rick Willis, although he is one of my favorite players, is not the only
player who gives 100%.  Some others who come to mind are Mike Stone,
Brian Wiseman, and of course Shields.  I don't know what has happened
to our defense, but we better get out butts in gear immediately.
Tim Hogan was totally useless last night, it seemed he was just
"skating laps".  And what has happened to Mike Knuble?  At the GLI
my friends and I began calling him Mike "the fan" Knuble, and he
has lived up the name.
 
Thank God we have players like Willis and Olliver who can make things
happen by themselves.
