Should be a dandy. This series will be tough on both teams. The winner will likely be tired at the end of the series. Who is going to win? I have no idea.

Calgary Hitmen 6 4 2 0 0 8 0.667 17 18
The Warriors played a team that struggled on the PP and couldn't score that often. Their top guns really weren't performing offensively. I think that has to do with the defensive style they tried to play to keep the series in check. The kings worked hard and battled but Joey started to feel more and more comfortable as the series went on and put on a goaltending clinic.
Keys for Warriors success in the second round
-2nd 3rd and 4th lines have to keep performing as they have. Our top line has been targeted but our depth offensively is what won us the first series. A list of unlikely heros will be needed in the next round as well
-Joey will have to remain focused and work as hard as ever to achieve victory.
-Lemaire will have to keep the D focused on puck movement and safe plays. The Hitmen play the trap very well and will be looking to stop our offense anyway they can. The key is the D have to be careful when moving the puck forward and always support each other.
-Brouwer, Boyd and McArdle are going to have to get it going offensively as well for us to be successful. I am sure they will continue to work hard.
Calgary seemed to be caugh off guard by the Hurricanes and came out a little flat. Maybe a little overconfident I am guessing. I have no doubt the prep for the next opponent will be much more focused and work ethic will be high right from the opening face off. Neither team is going to take the other lightly. The biggest suprise is the amount of goals that the Hitmen gave up in round one.
Keys to success in vs the Warriors
-Pogge will have to play extremely well to keep the Warriors offense in check
-Hitmen D will have to clog up the neutral zone
-Offense is going to have to find ways to score if they want to win. If Perricone keeps playing well it could be tough to capitalize.
-Petterson is going to have to lead this team offensively. He is a very good offensive threat.
This series is not likely to end anytime soon. It is going to be a hard fought battle with both teams really trying to move on. The Warriors high octane offense vs the smothering defense of the Hitmen. Which team is going to have the discipline to come out victorious? Won't be long and we will find out.
Good luck to both teams.
Go Warriors Go.
