The good part is that we can almost ignore Rockford and go after Houston. They lost to Iowa on Thursday and to Peoria on Friday....and have to travel to Lake Erie for a game Saturday night. (The LE Monsters beat 1st place Milwaukee on Friday night....)
Houston is having goaltender problems. The guy playing as their #1 goalie won't be playing again before the playoffs, their former #1 goalie (All-Star Brust) hasn't played since mid-February and got lit up by Iowa. They called up a kid from the ECHL (Idaho) who started against Peoria....and lost.
Houston dropped from 2nd to 4th in two nights....and QC currently is in 5th. Looking at what's going on with them. Houston is a team we may be able to slip by and get in as the 4th place playoff team.
Bottom line.....we just have to keep winning!
Hope we can keep Boyd and Peters for a while. Boyd had a couple of stupid turnovers, but they both did more good than bad on the ice tonight. We're going to need them against Peoria Saturday night! We have the exact same record over the last 10 games, so something's gotta give!!!
