View of the Tigers from the opposition
First of all, I think Bunz is likely the best goalie i've seen this season. Remarkable progression from the rookie who looked so bad against the WK's in the mem Cup year. Med hat have a recent history of bringing along young goalies who don't look great initially but turn out well (matt Keetley anyone?)
Very fast team, but maybe too much of a 1 line team to go deep in the playoffs? That's not a criticism of the topline, who are probably the best line in the dub so far, but more production from the other lines would be very helpful hey? Your top line accounts for 57% of your goals, Bdn's is 46%.
Having said that, the other 3 lines do play an honest game.
I think the weakness maybe your d-men, as a group they appear average to above average.
I haven't seen Kootney yet, but so far, from the teams i've seen i have the Tigers as the top team, just ahead of Moose jaw. And unfortunately, a level above my WK's at the moment.
Anyway, your team is a fun team to watch.
Outside of Bunz, Tigers A One Trick Pony
Bunz is their defence. Etem is their offense. While Etem is gone, see for yourself how high powered that No. 1 line becomes. You guys better hope Etem doesn't come back from World Juniors with an injury. Or your season may be done before you know it. I saw Bunz play as a 16 yr old rookie behind Ryan Holfield. He was light years ahead of Holfield even then. Personally I think Etem's a hot dog, but he is carrying the rest of the team offensively. It'll be interesting to see what moves everyone makes on or before the deadline.
Are the Tigers in the.......
market for anything at the deadline?
