And so it begins....

Ballard showed up for practice all ready to start a fresh new season, score lots of goals, play lots of minutes, throw some great hipchecks, but then he was met by AV and its quite clear what went down.

Ballard "Hey Coach! I'm here ready to start the season!"
AV " You're still here? just go sit in the damn press box"

Ballard " You can't make me!"


and so begins the new season.
