RESO: I have to admit, it feels unbelivably eerie to play without the massive roar of the fans. I somewhat dislike it. In Colorado, I get a major adrenaline rush whenever I hear the crowd roar like its Jurassic Park on the power play. How else can you explain how I broke out as a scoring defenseman in the SMJHL? I'll try and keep up my pace from last season, but considering what the WJC felt like, with a lack of noice and a barren, empty feeling with no push from behind, this year will feel like a struggle. The team is trying to manage this, however. We still blare out the goal horns and how our announcer around. I feel that this helps not only the fans, but the players as well since we don't want to find ourselves playing without some home familiarity. Blaring out some hype tracks also works alot. Everyone has their own piece, and its pretty interesting.
