Alright so we're heading into Friday (Its late Thursday) and I am a little curious and excited to see which team we're going to get.
I think its safe to say that there is a bit of optimism on these boards right now but we're all proceeding with caution.
We've got Barrie on tap Friday
Erie on tap for Saturday.
Sarnia on tap Tuesday.
And then arguably the most telling weekend of the year. Probably the biggest weekend of the season and it isnt close.
Guelph Friday
Niagara Saturday
Guelph Sunday.
Focusing on this weekend.
In order for next weekend to fall into place, this team needs to take both. Gotta beat Barrie, gotta beat Erie.
Guelph and the Soo have each played 43 games. Soo has a 2 point lead, Guelph with a 5 point lead.
Winning these two games doesn't close the gap but playing a team twice in a weekend next week that we're currently fighting for a playoff spot with and the Ice Dogs who are trash, the Rangers need to be awake, and ready to play and take 4 points this weekend.
6 games between now and next Sunday. Need to go 4-2, maybe even 5-1 to make this worth it.
