For those that may not have seen it, an interesting article from the Hitmen website, debating whether this years team is the best team in franchise history. There are some interesting comments from Dave Lowry and Kelly Kisio, who sums up the team pretty nicely:
Quote:
"It depends what day it is," answers general manager and former coach Kelly Kisio. "Some days, we look like world beaters, some days we're an average hockey team that finds a way to win."

However, perhaps the best line is in the close of the article,
Quote:
There's every reason to believe this team could emerge as the finest Hitmen lineup ever assembled, but they still have much work to do and more challenges to face. But of one thing you can be sure, they'll be going for it.

It also provides a nice wrap up on all the individual and club records broken and equaled this season:
