Time to pour on the steam!

With 2 weeks left in the regular season, it’s time to evaluate our position before the playoffs begin. The Greyhounds are 23-13 with 15 games left, we are 23-12 with 16 left (a PPD with Owensboro is the difference). Over the next 8 days, we have 9 games to play (possibly 10 if the PPD is played). Tomorrow, Monday, we begin a final 3 game series with the Greyhounds before the playoffs. We are 3-5 against the Greyhounds thus far in the season. Assuming there was a tie for first between the two teams, we need all 3 games of our next series to ensure home field advantage for the playoffs. If we get 2 of the 3 and tie, I’m not sure what the tiebreaker would be. Perhaps one of our readers can enlighten us.

At any rate, the schedule over the next 8 days is heavy. A final game with the Bulls’ series tonight, then to Union City on Monday, back home Tuesday with Greyhounds following us, and then back to U.C. Wednesday to finish off with the hounds. Friday begins a grueling weekend home stand with a doubleheader facing the Firebirds, then Saturday against the Oilers and again on Sunday with another doubleheader. Tough schedule guys, but I know they’re up to the task! Playing as a team is more important now than ever, and that includes the Fans as well as the Players. Let’s all focus and support each other, and I’m sure we can get that first seed position for the playoffs. We can do this!
