In my view, an under-rated part of this hot streak is Jesse King.
He is such a complete player. Physical and does a lot of the right things away from the ball to free up space for Dickson. If the guy can stay healthy, he's a superstar. He's what Tyler Digby should have been.
The Roughnecks are going to need more out of the depth scorers against Buffalo. I liked Pace's game, but Loewen and Dan Taylor were pretty ineffective. They need them to chip in so teams just don't key on Dobbie and Dickson.
Buffalo is scary though with Evans, Smith and Small...that's as good a 3 headed monster as there is in the league.
Should be a great final. I'd love to see this team get a championship. There's a lot of really quality guys on the team: Dickson, Dobbie, MacRae, Harnett, Bell, Currier, Manning, Burton. Some of those guys are still haunted by losing in the final to Rochester.
Go and get that ring boys.
