In the spirit of a pleasant game thread for all, I bring you this comment circa 2011 from Martin Jones about his relationship with Jeff Zatkoff when they were teammates with the Manchester Monarchs.
MM: What’s it been like to live with the guy you’re battling for the job?
MJ: I think one of the great things about our tandem is we’re genuinely rooting for each other. We want each other to play well. It makes for a much better working environment when you’re both pulling for each other. Whoever is playing is playing and the other guy knows that he’s going to get his chance to play. We’re pulling on the same end of the rope here.
