Game Day vs. Swift Current

Well up and at em' early on this Sunday. People who have young kids can probably sympathize with me! Oh, well. What a performance by the Canes' last night. If the coaching staff was trying to send a message to the leaders on this team after a sub par game in Calgary the other night, I'd have to say message sent and received! The Canes' wanted more out the veterans and they got it. Lethbridge opened up the offence in a 7-3 victory over Kelowna. The Hurricanes had an answer for everything the Rockets brought and more. The star of the game though was Cody Smuk, who some fans have nicknamed Smukteral for his Mike Wuchteral type of play. Smuk scored his first every Hatrick to lead the way. Colton Sceviour notched a 4 point night and Juha Metsola had another very strong game in goal. Put all that together and you get yourself a solid team win. That's what it's about about....TEAM! Everyone pitching in. It was the Canes' biggest offensive output of the season.
Tonight should be a good test! The unbeaten Swift Current Broncos are here, 6:00 at the Enmax Centre. They've started the season a perfect 6 and 0 and the Hurricanes would love to end that streak this evening. Another solid effort like last night and that would be a good possibility. This should be a good battle too. Two conference teams expected to do well this year. Lethbridge brings a 4 and 2 record into this match up. Our pregame show starts at 5:30 on CJOC.
