What a difference a road trip makes. So far, so very good.
Heading into the last game of the last long road trip of the season, our team has grabbed nine out of a possible 12 points. Lets get two more this Friday in Binghamton.
Despite losing our two goalies, we've seem to have found our game - - grit, determination and hard work for 60 minutes.
Each night another player comes up with a big goal. Yesterday it was Derek Dorsett with the game winner. Suddenly instead of looking for someone else to pick up the slack, each Crunch player is taking it upon himself to get things done.
Today we welcome back fan favorite Karl Goehring, and as thrilled as we are to have him, I know the feeling is mutual. Karl is one of those class guys you respect even when he's wearing another team's uniform. Even better, now he's back in Crunch red, white and blue.
I, for one, didn't like the direction this team was going in early on in the year. But times have changed and this team has turned it around none too soon.
Looking at our schedule, you'll see that beginning February 15, we play 18 of 21 games at our home barn. No doubt that stretch of games will decide our fate for the season, and I'm hoping that home ice/home fan advantage will come into play.
Before Saturday's game we'll be holding a Fan Forum beginning at 6:45 p.m. I look forward to seeing all of you there.
