Congrats to Misa on not only breaking Shalla's single season goal record but also becoming the 1st 50 goal scorer in Spirit history!

5 in a row now. Still going to be a long week with 4 games in 7 days.

That Russian kid makes you guys an extremely dangerous team and will be an interesting playoff matchup

Not really worried about London. Need to get past Erie first.

I've said before that even with the first line playing like they are, I wouldn't expect Saginaw to put up too much resistance to the Knights. I like lines 2 and 3 but they just aren't ready to stop London or produce vs London either. That series would probably be 5 games. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though.

Agreed...while Oke has been playing well as of late, we don't have the defensive chops to be able to hang with the lines that London can roll out game after game. Also, even with Cam Allen out, London still has a good defense and a good goalie that would keep our scoring down some. The one equalizer would be penalties...if we stay out of the box and London were to take penalties, that's the formula for us beating them. While last year was quite the battle, I'm with Kingpin, we'll need a strong effort just to get past Erie.

With the way the Spirit are playing do you think you could reach Windsor or is it almost mathematically impossible?

Not a chance in hell.

To clinch the division Windsor only needs 6 wins in the last 14 games.

Well let's hope that was just a stinger for Zayne because if his wrist got f'd there, we are fubar.

Good news: Parekh came back. Bad news: Epperson is getting a few games for that cross check to the face. Dumb dumb dumb.
