Just one game this weekend vs. Raiders. Exchanged chances but we won 3-2. They throw everything at the net and try to use their size to put in the rebounds. They did this once but we scored on two rebounds. We did a lot of good things. Next week we play the two other Calgary teams. Always a good rivalry.
Raiders were 15-5 before this 6 game losing streak vs the top two teams and us. We worked on breakouts to beat the pinch and did a pretty good job of it. We also plugged up the slot with the wingers down to the hash and didn't allow very many clean chances.
We are getting scoring from many players now who didn't score before Christmas. All of the skill work and game situations in practice look like they are paying off.

The Hockey Prayer – Jim started doing this before our games and the players love it.
