The Great Falls Grizzlies will be facing the defending 4-Star cup champions in the Vancouver Whalers in the opening round of the playoffs. To prepare for this upcoming matchup, the Grizzlies analyzed their previous 4 regular season games against Vancouver, in which the Grizzlies went 2-1-1 against them this season.

The next thing would be to see who has fallen flat against them and check on their conditioning to ensure that they are not only in shape physically but also mentally and in TPE and game ready form.

Then the grizzlies must take a look at the line chemistries to ensure that they have the best possible line combinations.

Then, management throws a curveball and has the team hike around the city, and they have to do it in a certain amount of time or a punishment would be assessed, usually in the form of old, rubbish gear they had to wear during practice, in a way to humble any fragile egos among their ranks.

With these preparations complete, the Grizzlies are ready to take on anyone.
