Nice to see but doesn't mean a damn thing yet. I don't recall the Mem Cup ever being awarded in September.

The start to the season has been very good, obviously. But we have a lot to work on if we want to stay that high. But keep on playing hard and improving and we can do it.

Let's be honest these guys don't know their elbow from their arse. These "writers" only see their team and rely on the standings at whl.ca like the rest of us. I have little faith in WHL writers. No cred from my perspective. Maybe I'll make a top 22 list and we can all oooh and ahhh over it. I can also take a crap in a box and call it the CHL Top 10 rankings. Voila!

Take it with a grain of salt people.

Wow! Such a ray of sunshine. A little early to be so bitter isn't it?
