Now that the season is finally underway, we are working harder than ever as a team. Practices so far this week have been filled with battles and hard work, as we realize just how much effort it takes to compete in this league. We didn't get the results we were looking for this past weekend, but I feel that it was a good experience to learn from, and I feel that the new guys got a feel for just how tough it is to be successful in this league. With the short schedule, every single game is extremely important, and the level of intensity required is very high.
I am looking forward to our road trip this weekend, as we continue to establish our identity early on in this season. We will continue to work hard the next few days, and I'm also looking forward to out U.S. - Canada showdown at the end of Thursdays practice. Canada is currently 2-0 and we are looking to keep the streak alive! It is a very focused atmosphere at the rink these days, as we all know there is much work ahead of us. I enjoy this competitive feeling, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
