Expectations are pretty low for the Regina Elk in what was a rebuilding year. After losing many key players this off season, the team finished 11th overall. If they weren't playing in a weak division they would have missed the playoffs but luckily it wasn't the case. We're about to play the Yukon Malamutes, a good team but not a powerhouse like Colorado. So in the back of your head even though you're not the favorites you still believe you have a chance. Game plan is all gonna be around stopping Langston Hardison-Laurent, probably this years MVP. Yukon is also quite a young team so if we can somehow contain him, it can be done. We've done a lot of video sessions with the coaching staff the last few days. At this time of year, practice isn't as important, it's all about staying healthy. The pressure isn't on us at all as underdogs, we like that role. We just have to go out there, give our all, pucks in deep, a full 60 minutes effort and good things will happen.
