Rockets look like a completely different team with Foote gone (not surprisingly).
They're playing hard and fast and are now 5-1-2 after a win over a pretty good team in Lethbridge. They also played neck and neck with the top team in the league in Everett in a OT loss and are doing all of this without two of their top forwards so it bodes well for the Memorial Cup.
Speaking of Lethbridge...not sure about Kisio's tactics. That's a pretty fast team with some high end skilled guys in Cozens and Addison yet they're employing a very passive forecheck and are dumping and chasing on zone entries rather than trying to create off the rush. A bit strange to see. Also Tetachuk sucks and that team will go nowhere in the playoffs if he's the guy.
