Yikes! Had the Wolves taken care of their own business the past few weeks and had not completely choked away some crucial games, they would have firm control of 1st in the Conference. Wolves can make all the excuses they want, but at the end of the day they simply haven't been good enough. The Villy/Konyen debacle is another excuse as well. So sick and tired of all the excuses the Wolves come up with. Tonight is a huge statement game. Go out and get the W. If Wolves have aspirations of going on this "historical run" that the Wolves organization keep trying to sell the fans on, Oshawa is the type of team they'll need to be able to beat come playoffs. With 6 games remaining, Wolves still have some control of finishing near the top of the conference if they perform. It's just a shame they've made it that much harder on themselves now to secure home ice. Regardless, if you want success come playoffs you need to be able to win at home or on the road. And this Wolves team was supposed to be "built" for the finals. This is Papineau's "contender". So it shouldn't matter who the Wolves face 1st round at all. They will need to beat teams like Oshawa, North Bay, Brantford, Mississauga, Ottawa.. whoever they face in the playoffs shouldn't matter for this so called "contender". Can't wait to see what happens.
