Coming into Season 43, we here in Edmonton have built a rock solid team. Our expectations have been high for the last couple of years, but we still haven't been able to make it over the first round hump. We're hoping this season leads to a breakthrough.
The first strength that we boast this season is an improved top 9 forward group. With the acquisition of Geronimo Otto, he slides nicely into the first line with Bitties and Knouse. That enables us to move Redding to the third line with Scholz and Becker. The second line returns unchanged with Cukurs, Rockefeller, and Cuddles. The balance on each line is going to make it tough for any team to match up on the ice. The next strength is the continued development of three key defensemen. We already have the established vet in Hale, but in Tanner, Tuck, and McIntyre, we have a growing crop of defensemen who are just entering their prime and getting better every day. Tanner especially is very close to breaking out and joining the group of top defensemen in the SHL. Those 4 match up to any top 4 D core in the league and will be a huge help to our goal tending and our forwards. Our 3rd strength isn't something tangible that you can see on a stat sheet. It's our locker room chemistry. Our team is young, but we all started out together. We've been through every step of our careers together. We tasted defeat together and we've tasted our first successes together. We've become a family and we are the ones that brought the high expectations to the team. We know what's at stake and we're going to do this as one. (289 words)
