Back from Canada

Well we're back from probably one of the longest road trips most of us have ever experienced. The trip started out on a Wednesday night, the first night on the bus was probably one of the easiest. We got into Hamilton, Ontario early in the morning on Thursday and had a practice in the afternoon, other than that, the day was pretty empty. Our first game against Hamilton went well. We got out to a great start and pretty much dominated most of the game with a 6-0 win.
That night we bused down to Cleveland. It wasn't so bad except that we got into Cleveland pretty early in the morning again and you could already since the team was feeling fatiqued. We played the Lake Erie Monsters that night which we played well, out shot the Monsters but failed in putting the puck in the net. It wasn't even that the other teams goalie was that good, we all felt like we just made him look good. We lost the game 2-1, we should have ended up winning that one.
Saturday after the game, the roads got really bad. It was a very long, miserable night on the bus due to the weather and our recent game. We got into Toronto around six in the morning, slept the rest of the day and had to get to the rink for our third game.
You could really see that the guys were tired early in the game. Without managing a single shot in the first period, and only being down 1-0 we found ourselve's in an ugly game against the Marlies. We lost 4-2. The good that we did end up taking from that last game is knowing that we found that we were in the game the whole night even though we were exhausted and not playing our best. Toronto has a good team this year so we know that we can compete with anyone, even through a long road trip.
The bus ride home Sunday night wasn't so bad. Most of us slept from exhaustion, we got home around six in the morning.
See you guys this weekend!
