That's a wrap, as it is said in Hollywood. Sorry for not writing the past couple days, but they have been wild ones. We finally ended camp tonight with an 8-3 loss in Detroit, going 0-4 in the preseason. Thank god they don't count yet. The 8-3 score is a bit of a misconception, we came out flat and were down 4-0 just 4 minutes into the game, 6-1 after 1. Maybe it was being on the road, maybe the 4 games in 4 nights wore some guys down. For me it was my 3rd game in as many nights, we lost to Chi-Town and Detroit at home Friday and Saturday. I played D on Friday and Saturday, but tonight I was up front centering the first line. We ended up scoring 2 of our 3 goals and played really well together so hopefully we'll stay together to start the season.
We had a great crowd of over 400 on Friday and just over 300 Saturday at home, not bad for a small barn. Training camp is tough because you're trying to get to know all the guys, but you know some are going to be released. It sucks to see them go, but it is a business. I won't lie, it is very nice knowing that it is over and now we know the hard work starts. Everyday our coach gets calls from guys looking for a place to play and we have to prove we don't need them.
Looking at the possible roster we should be very strong this season. Even though we started out 0-4, we have a ton of upside in the dressing room. A lot of first year pro players who need to learn the pro game and once they do will be very dangerous. We should be deep defensively and extremely solid up front. Once we start practicing as a team and get used to one another we'll be on our way.
It's late and I'm heading to bed. Until next time have fun out there.
