Hey guys,
With Jon on vacation, i took it upon myself to write this weeks blog post.
Well, this game marked our first loss of the season, a loss by default though. The Burlington Canucks forgot to book our home-ice for this game, therefore resulting in no refs showing up to the game. Because of this, the Preds were unable to keep their perfect record, and have 1 tally in the loss category - albeit, it wasn't a real loss *so we're still undefeated in my books*.
The bench was a little bit shorter, with Thomas, Ben, Jordan and Jon all away, but it didn't stop the Preds from playing though. We beat the Avalanche in a friendly scrimmage 10-3. Although there were a fair amount of goals scored, the real highlight of the game was the improvement of the fundamentals. The Preds executed their breakout play to perfection, and this resulted in multiple odd-man rushes, due to quick transition. This along with cycling the puck well deep in the offensive zone, led to a fair amount of goals.
Hopefully next week we'll be able to add another to the win slot - and we'll be looking forward to our next two games (both also against the Avalanche) as a chance for a real test to see how we fare against them.
Final Score: Preds 0 - Avalanche 1 [forfeit]
Until next week,
-Mike Krikke
