Re: Brown May Be The New Pervis

Yes Ellie, but he constantly discussed how Toronto made advancements last
year because of the veteran presence they went out and got and what a
difference it makes in the lockerroom.  He mentioned this many times on his
show.  I think it's obvious he wants to win and is willing to make the
personal adjustments to get the kind of player who will help the C's get
there.  Randy Brown plays the defense he wishes Kenny could play.  At least
I can hope.  If I'm wrong, the irascible Mr. Forant, among others, will
remind me, I'm sure (:-)
