Pour yourself a cold one and sit down. The following is a cold hard look at this rookie season for John Wick. It has been a bit of a disappointment... Kinda like the head on a frosty mug of tap beer. Always looks promising but just seems to vanish when your not looking.

All those personal goals , all of the targets I had on this list for S24 I had set for myself....Didn't happen.

Let's pour a double shot of cheap bourbon and set that next to this sweating mug of brew.
Let's see.. I certainly won't be applying for any 'Milestone' TPE.
My Final regular season numbers are personally abysmal..mediocre at best.

As stated in "Jokers SHL Draft Prospects" arcticle I had a few flashes( 6 goals in the first 14games..a 3 game scoring streak.)
But it never REALLY seemed to click. The terrific start for the Scarecrows in those first 12 games should have been the ignition, the spring board to get off to a quick start of a great season ..personally...Didn't happen..

I knew that with the heavy load of Send downs and higher TPE rookies on the 'Crows any chance for Wick being noticed would be on the PK ..And I really thought I could mold myself into a "John Madden" type player and in doing so I would get my shot at a breakaway shortie sometime this season....Didn't happen.
My +/- went from a high of +6 to a low of -11 by near seasons end...depressing.

Let's take a big pull on that frosty mug to clear some space...oooh yeah.

For a 7th round selection I'm sure that management felt any positive results would be considered a win and at only 1.5M . It could be argued they got a minor bargain.
Kinda like a bottle of Evan Williams Bourbon ..a minor bargain with a kick....toss back that double shot and refill that bad little burner.

It remains to be seen if this last update changes the slow downward spiral as the playoffs start.

I'd like to thank bbp for drafting me and both he and Cuff for giving me a shot on the PK all season. I'd like to thank my teammates for the strong season we had and my hope is we keep moving forward thru the playoffs.
So with that being said let's pickup that double bourbon shot glass and drop it into that sweating mug of beer and finish this DepthCharge and sink this whole thing..Gnight.





















a coiled cobra of energy and enthusiasm ready to strike...ready to strike!
