Thunder Talk: Febuary 9th

Saturday nights win was not only a huge confidence boost for us but also a huge boost in our goal of finishing first overall. With that win we put ourselves in a position to finish with 65 points if we can win our remaining 6 games. The Royals can only reach 64 points by winning there remaining 4 games and the Quakers can finish with 67 points by winning there remaining 4 games. Where it gets interesting is that the Royals and Quakers square off on Tuesday and we then play the Quakers on Thursday. This means that one or two of the three of us will lose significant ground in the chase for first overall and home ice through at least the first two rounds of the playoffs. We definitely hold our destiny in our own hands and give ourselves a legitimate shot at the league pennant if we can win our final 6 games. In the south Ft. Knox has lost there last two and can also only finish with 65 points in there last 5 games.



Home ice is hugely important to us as was evident on Saturday night in Carrot River. Once again we started slow against the Royals, but were able to stop the bleeding at 3. The momentum shift after our first goal was electric and it help carry us into a second period which was one of our best periods of hockey to date.
