We're sitting down with Tony Pepperoni to discuss his time in Edmonton, moving on to Baltimore and how he feels closing in on 1000 points. First question, how did the decision to leave Edmonton go?

The writing was on the wall for me in Edmonton as far as I'm concerned. I had a good feeling they'd be moving on from me after last season as they have a young group and probably want to focus on the future. It was a hard reality to face and I seriously considered retiring a Blizzard but I was so close to a big milestone and when there was interest from Baltimore, the decision to continue was easy.

You mentioned a big milestone, I assume you're talking about 1000 points which you're now only 3 points away from achieving?

We've got a smart guy over here. Yup, I'm hoping to be one of the few players to make it to 1000 points. I'd like to say I'd challenge for the all-time record but that could take a few seasons at this rate and there's already younger guys right on my rear end. I may pass Esa but I doubt I'll be the first to do it.

Thanks for talking to us, we appreciate it!

No Problem!
