Canes' Chalk Up Another Home-Ice Win

The Lethbridge Hurricanes have now won 5 or their past 6 games after a well played 5-2 victory last night at home against a struggling team from Moose Jaw. The Canes' outshot the Warriors 42-20 in the victory. Drew Hoff scored twice and Ben Wright chipped in with 3 assists. The Hurricanes are now 14-12-0-1 on the season and 9 games to go before their 10 day Christmas break. Back-up goalie Michael Tadjdeh won his 3rd game of the year for the Canes'.
For the second game in a row we saw more point shots and players driving to the net and again rewarded for their efforts. I think the Hurricanes have been playing more aggressive lately too and it's been paying off. It also appears the players are playing with more confidence. They went through a rough stretch a few weeks back and have since turned things around. With a handful of games to go before the break, Lethbridge will attempt to make up even more ground on the rest of the pack in the Eastern Conference.
Before last night's game, the Hurricanes honoured the memory of former goaltender Michael Maniago would died in a car crash in Calgary over the weekend. The organization held a moment of silence for him before the puck dropped at the Enmax Centre. He was an important part of the Canes' drive to the league final last season. He will be missed by all who knew him. I can tell you he was a fun guy to be around and a good person overall. I got a chance to get to know him last year. He was well liked by all his teammates. Our hearts go out to his family.
