Meet Bob Snider

A few weeks back, Kevin M. Neibauer had the chance to meet Wings rookie Bob Snider. Bob happens to be the brother of Geoff. So, let's meet Bob.

By- Kevin M. Neibauer

KMN- First off, Welcome to Philadelphia. What are your thoughts?

BS- "Thanks. First home game and it feels pretty good. We have a great group of guys and I'm very happy to be here. I couldn't ask for more in a rookie season, plus, playing with my brother makes it very comfortable for me. All the guys get along great."

KMN-Philly can be a really great place to play...

BS-"True, plus it helps that fans really love the game and support us. I had chills going out on the floor. They (the fans) get wild and that's a big factor in our favor."

KMN- What are Coach Huntley's plans for you?

BS-" Little defense, transition and face-offs. I didn't fare too well in the circle tonight, but we got the "W" and that's what is important."

KMN- It seemed the team, as a whole struggled on the face-off tonight, any ideas?

BS-"The ref was changing his cadence and we couldn't get our timing down. But, the important thing is their guys did a great job."

KMN-Philly-Boston, big rivalry, what did you know about the Blazers coming in?

BS-"I wasn't here last year, but. I did follow the league. Boston did pretty well last year so I expected a big game coming in and that's what makes the win nice."

KMN-Defensively, the team allowed only one goal in the second half. Did you do anything at half time?

BS-"Not really, we were doing fine. We knew the second half was going to be a battle and that we needed to keep our composure and that's what we did."

KMN- How difficult has it been for the new guys to get acclimated to the coaches and each other?

BS-"For me, coming into training camp, I knew a few guys, of course, my brother and Taylor Wray. With a short training camp, you really have to bond right away I think most of us have come together nicely. I have been on teams that didn't have big scorers or World Class talent, but they had a bond. That's what wins Championships, the chemistry, the family atmosphere."

Thanks to the Wings and Bob Snider.
