It absolutely appalls me to see so many ripping apart a kid for *gasp* actually wanting to stay in college. And as a D-man, J.J. couldn't have made a better decision. The defenseman position totally requires as much college/juniors/minor league training as possible...quite possibly more-so than goaltender.<BR/><BR/>But, as Cason pointed out, knowing how J.R. tends to have the occasional short fuse, lest we all pray that the Steeltown rumors regarding Mr. Johnson aren't true...Stormbringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898791031735061666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14559994.post-1150937716759007752006-06-21T20:55:00.000-04:002006-06-21T20:55:00.000-04:00I've never seen that site before (The Rhetorical L...I've never seen that site before (The Rhetorical Letter Writer), but it's a riot.
