Cursed

I blame the CHL weekly poll for the loss. Everytime that damn poll moves the AMS up, they lose. It's a curse, a jinx, whatever.

I don't know if it goes to their heads or what. "hey we're in 3rd, we're awesome" and then they forget that they have to play like they're a 3rd place (1st place?) team?

Maybe it's just general overconfidence?

Maybe it's because the similar style Tigers just had a solid game plan and stuck to it.

Maybe it was because Sergei was back so lines were juggled a bit.

Maybe it was because it was yet another road game.

Maybe even a great team can have an off night. Which sucks.

Maybe whatever tactics Don (and Terry) used to get Brett Plouffe so good last year need to be revisited. And perhaps Fluffy just needs to pull his head out of his ass and get focused on playing hockey.

Friend at the game reported that the loss was not Owsley's fault, that it was a team failure. Also says Tigers were blocking shots like crazy.

So I hope the boys have fun curling today, get last night out of their system, and be ready for Friday's game.
