Some guy named Stephen Rollins says he’s interested in buying Atlanta Thrashers. He’s a Hollywood movie producer or something like that.
/Filmmaker-Stephen Rollins has interest in buying Thrashers
He also says be played for the Blades.
WTF? WTF? (that’s a who and a what)
His rather unimpressive IMDB resume is here. Doesn’t look like the kind of resume of a guy who can foot the bill for an NHL franchise. In that bio it says,
In 1993, Stephen began his ventures in professional hockey, skating with the Atlanta Knights and Kansas City Blades of the International Hockey League.
I call BS
Now, I wasn’t a Blades season ticket holder, but I went to a lot of Blades games, I listened to Bob Kaser when they were on the road and I played drop-in with several guys (well, I watched them skate around me) in the Summers. I don’t remember a Stephen Rollins at all…and I remember guys who got cups of coffee like Forrest Gore and Marty Standish.
Blades all-time roster — nothing
1992-1993 Blades — nothing (but didn’t you love Mikhail Kravets?)
1993-1994 Blades — nothing (David Bruce was great that year….remember how Steve Garrett would say, David Baaaa-ruuuuuuce)
I don’t doubt that this guy loves hockey, may want to buy the Thrashers and, who knows, he may have the bankroll. But, he definitely did NOT play for the Blades (unless someone can prove me wrong…like maybe he was invited to camp…once).
