Coach Overworking the Players?
This bout between the Lethbridge Lions and the St. Louis Scarecrows featured some high tempo play with both teams constantly rushing up and down the ice. The Lions' loss tonight may be attributed to the increased reliance on their top line of Cant Eykhil, Hugh Jazz and Boruvka Banananak along with their top pairing of Delver Fudgeson and Akira Ren. Currently, Fudgeson and Ren average about 10% more time on the ice compaired to the top pairings of other teams. Whether this is due to lack of trust in other players or overreliance on their top guys to produce is left unknown. We can only see if their strategy pays off come playoff-time.
