"I’m just looking forward and preparing like I can win a spot on the Islanders this year. I don’t want anyone to take my job. If I don’t make it, I’m gonna go down swinging."

Joel Rechlicz,
speaking to Chris Botta.
First, whether he's ready for a regular responsible shift or not, I
love this attitude.
Second: Don't you miss the days when a bunch of minor league enforcers would slug it out for a job during training camp? Those fights were often better than regular season ones.
