Again, that was a good start, they looked very good. I'm certain this CGY team is going to get rolling. What's encouraging actually is a full 60 min performance hasn't come yet (maybe that early 3-0 win) but it looks close. Everyone wants it immediately I'm sure the team does too but if they start like they did and are able to put those periods together where the come in waves they are going be an amazing team - it's so close!

I think we're inching closer too.
Things will change a lot for this team when one or two of the depth forwards get off the schneid and start chipping in.
Just need to focus on bringing intensity to start games and setting the tone.
Like I said with Marky, this is a very confident team if working with a lead.
