As the game tonight between the Musicmen and visiting Owls drew near, reports on Twitter suggested that Jonathon Drouin was on the verge of being the next one out the door.
An anonymous source reports, "You could hear Drouin in the coaches office screaming at him about being scratched from tonight's game against the Owls. Jon wasn't happy about it and basically told the coach that he could screw off. He WAS playing against Portland. Sure enough, he got in the lineup..."
While it remains to be seen how the Drouin situation plays out, the situation tonight against the Owls didn't take very long to resolve itself.
By the end of the second period...at home at the Soundstage in Dayton...Portland led 7-0 and skated to a 7-1 defeat of the home team.
Dayton netminder Jeremy Smith took the blame for tonight's debacle.
"I just didn't have it tonight. Yes, it was a matter of focus and right now, most of us are having a lot of trouble bearing down. We've all seen friends get traded away, a bunch of them, that the team is filling holes with guys who aren't frankly that good. Guys playing way more minutes than they are used to doesn't usually bring very good results."
"I'll be better next game, I promise you..."said Smith.
