1. The end is near.
This has felt like a long season for me and even though there is a month and a half left, I can see the end. Many believe that this year’s events should happened last year, but that’s daft. I understand that this management team wanted to see what this year’s team could do up until about Jan and then decisions started to be made. It was easier to get rid of Hansen and Burrows this year. It wasn’t as easy to get rid of Hamhuis and Vrbata last year due to each player’s circumstance.
