It looks like Barry Trotz is zeroed in on Jack Hillen... so what's he saying here?

“What the hell are you still doing, Hillen? Does this look like the Press box to you?”

So I hear the weather is nice in Milwaukee this tme of year.

A lot of easy cheap shots here...

But all Hillen has done is come in as the only undrafted (by the Preds or anyone) free agent defenseman and beat out a bunch of high profile draft picks the likes of which include Ekholm, Laakso, Blum and previously Ellis (yet to be determined if he becomes part of the line up). Trotz gave Hillen big props last week in an article in Nashville’s The City Paper. He has been a great $650k signing and has put up some pretty good stats considering his limited role. He is an important depth defenseman whom I doubt will be headed to Milwaukee. I know this is all in good fun, but he has earned a modicum of respect IMO.

I’m going to close my eyes… and THE PERSON WHO TOOK ANDERS’ SKITTLES can return them, without punishment. Not mentioning any names. Just give Anders his Skittles back. WHOMEVER took them.

Tough call with Hillen. He hasn’t been bad but I can’t blame the organization for playing the home grown talent.

I think they need him around in a depth role when a) Josi begins to show his age and inexperience at the NHL level; b) Ellis begins to show his age and inexperience at the NHL level;c) Oneof the other D gets hurt (only a matter of time) and d: Depth for the playoffs as you can’t rely on rookies in the playoffs.

Along the same line....

An interesting article about NHL.com on Hillen just came out…….

Did you move the money out of Ellis’ mojo account!

Trotz appears upset that Hillen put laxative in his water bottle before the game.

Trotz:

Hillen! You’re beginning to make me a believer of the “getting your picture taken with one of Frattaway’s dogs is the worst career move you can make” curse.

Background on the Frattaway dog picture curse:

Zach Stortini – Pictured with Waylon the Wiemaraner…demoted to Milwaukee

Jack Hillen – Pictured with Murphy the Mutt…becoming a consistent scratch on D

Craig Smith – Pictured with Hubert the Bloodhound…good lord lets hope the curse ends here.

Pardon me, I mustache you a question...

Hey 38, did I just hear you say that I should be fired and replaced by the guy on my left?
