The problem with the Edmonton Blizzard is the dark cancer spot on the second line known as right winger Barrett Blackwood. What a bum. Have you seen his career trajectory? He started off his freshman and sophomore seasons with just 32 combined points. Then, over the next two years, he accrued almost 90 points. Last season came the stinker. Just 26 points for a guy that looked like he was ready to break out. Just when you thought he was on the verge, he flopped. When the Blizzard were looking for points in a postseason series loss to the New Orleans Specters, Blackwood was nearly invisible on the ice. He's on a point per game pace this season, but I'm here to tell him that he's not fooling anyone. The way to solve this problem is obvious: the GMs need to get there act together and get on the horn to some team dumb enough to bring on a guy who is about as hated in the locker room as they come. There's always one team out there that will be willing to take a flier on a guy who has shown some level of promise, no matter how fleeting. Maybe the team can get back something useful like a coffee machine or new conference table.
