CAMARADERIE CONFIRMED

It was nice to wake up this morning and read some articles confirming my hopeful suspicion from the weekend, with respect to the team coming together in a spirit of co-operation, support and team-work.

Tonight, the team will attempt to re-confirm this in continuing its systematic play consisting of grit and support on both sides of the ice by all 5 players. The task at hand however is tougher than one would have liked at a moment like this. Not only are the Sens arguably the top team in the league, but they have also lost their last game and will not want to drop two in a row.

The HABS on the other hand can profit immensely from a win tonight. Not only will it be a huge shot of confidence in the arm, but it will also go a long way as establishing this team as cohesive and balanced unit, that is a formidable opponent. We’re a formidable opponent not because we have super stars, but because we don’t have weak links, empty holes to fill, players left out to dry on the ice.

Les Glorieux will have all the motivation they need following the retirement of Big Bird’s jersey, and Huet will/should play one of his best games of the season, given the parasitic monkey growing on his back after going 0-2 in his last two starts. There is a good chance we can bring the Sens within 1.5NL tonight, and shake their confidence a bit after handing them their first back-to-back loss of the year. Now all I have to do is try and make it through the next 10.5 hours
