Analytical Ramblings Jan. 18

So, who is the favourite in tonight's game?

Looking at the past performances, it's hard to say. PG and Kamloops have already met 4 times, each winning 2 games (1 home, 1 away) and all games ending with very lopsided scores.

Home Ice Advantage? Doesn't appear to be any.

Looking at our wins:

Nov. 2 @ Kamloops 8-3 W

Goalies: Tartaglione 3/30 Leclerc 4/9 Priestner 4/12
Shots: PG 21 Kam 30
PG Goals: D. Tyrell (3) C. Tyrell (1) Poulter (2) You thinking what I'm thinking


Dec. 15 @ PG 6-2 W

Goalies: Cyr 2/37 Priestner 5/19
Shots: PG 19 Kam 37
PG Goals: Buonassisi (1), D Tyrell (1) Magnusson (1) Hunt (1) Wishart (1) Fuller (1)

Looking at our Losses:

Nov. 23 @ Kamloops 4-1 L

Goalies: Cyr 4/34 Leclerc1/14
Shots: PG 14 Kam 34
PG Goal: Watson (1)

Dec. 14 @ PG 7-2 L

Goalies: Tartaglione 7/31 Leclerc 2/29
Shots: PG 29 Kam 31
PG Goals: Gardner(1) Fuller (1)


Conclusions:

Will the trades hurt? No

Will the injuries hurt? Yes, both literally and figuratively

Who should start for PG? Cyr

Who do we want to start for Kam? doesn't really matter but I'll say Priestner

What the team should work on tonight? fewer penalties, more shots

Our weakness tonight? even younger/inexperienced defence

Outcome? It's anybody's game - can't wait to listen.

After all that you still say "anyone's game"? C'mon make a decision will ya! :skeptical I'll say 5 - 1 CATS with CYR getting first star. vci22

I'm too superstitious to make predictions at this moment. Don't want to jinx the team.

And what do you mean, how can I say anybody's game after all that. The point I was trying to make was......it's anybody's game.
