Beamer - Today's interview brings us to jolly ol'England. Welcome Andrew to 31 in 31(ish). Question 1. How do you see your team doing this year in SCD?
Andy - Thanks for having me Beamer. I see my team struggling to make the playoffs this year unfortunately. Doesn’t help we are still waiting on Rantanen to resign but we have a tough division to overcome and I think we have yet to surpass of division rivals.
Beamer - Having just lived the will he sign or will he not, I empathize with your situation. I hope he does...it's not like Colorado doesn't have the cap space this year. Hope Sakic comes to his senses soon and gets Rantanen locked up to at least a bridge deal. Question 2. Who do you see as the finalists in SCD and IRL NHL this year?
Andy - In SCD, I see Carolina been in and around there again this year along with Florida and your Calgary again. I’m impressed with what the canes have done since joining and have built a very strong core after acquiring a lot of prospects. IRL I’m hoping to see my Avs in there. Other teams I see there would be Maple Leafs, Lightning and the Rangers and Devils have potential with the work they’ve done over the summer.
Beamer - I too am very impressed with work SCD Hurricanes have done....amongst other teams of course. I think the IRL Avalanche are going to be a force to be reckoned with as soon as this season. Question 3. Do hate that bloody cannon that goes off at Blue Jackets games? It scares the bejesus out of many people. If it were to be replaced what sort of noise maker celebrating item would you put in place?
Andy - Never really thought of what noise maker to have tbh. I’m a fun kinda guy so it would need to be something fun. But if I had to choose, I’m a football (soccer for the Americans) fan at heart so I’d have a sound screaming “GOAL!!”. It’s not something that I see important as long as the team is winning.
Beamer - That would be cool to have a football/soccer chant after goals, etc... love seeing it on TV.. It'd work in hockey me thinks too. Question 4. What's your favorite Skittle flavour? What's your least favorite flavor? Hard hitting questions I know, but it's super important.
Andy - Lemon would have to be my favourite easily. It’s been a while since I’ve had skittle. But I would say the red ones, least favourite flavour out of them all.
Beamer - Ahhh, good man. LEMON ROCKS!!! None of that berry flavored stuff! Last question....why is it that the stereotypical British citizen has bad teeth? I mean, I'm sure you have great pearly whites. I admire much about England...great people, the Tube, great pubs, great ales, great food but I can never understand why everyone apparently has bad teeth.
Andy - I wish I had pearly whites. Mine aren’t perfect but they aren’t like the ones you see, that us British are associated with haha. I believe it to be a myth that can never be answered. Maybe the apes had bad teeth in our area and it started from there, who knows.
Beamer - That's a solid. I know it's late in GBR....thank you for answering the questions. Best of luck in the season Andrew.
