What Time is It?

I said, “WHAT TIME IS IT???”

That’s right, it’s PLAYOFF TIME!!!

I love it!

Hawks, we play today, Saturday May 30, at 2:00pm in St. Jacobs. Please be early. We have lots to talk about. We’re heading into battle with the Owls. I can’t wait! You can find the playoff schedule on the SWO site here.

I will update the right side of the blog soon with the playoff schedule. I haven’t done so yet.

Okay. Now down to business. I will mention a bunch of stuff below. Please review it all.

POST-GAME SUMMARY

Gentlemen, you played like professionals last night. You espoused the Hawks Hockey Nation Excellence Creed by which we live and play. You worked hard on every shift. You delivered to the Falcons, nicely wrapped, a present that we like to refer to as NO SPACE AND NO TIME!

Your coaches spent this past week devising a strategy to beat the Falcons. It involved three of our systems. We explained the strategy to you Friday night before the game. And then you executed that strategy to perfection! You should be very proud of yourselves.

Personally, I’m very proud of all of you.

CRANK IT UP

Remember Hawks, we all agreed last night to crank it up a notch for the playoffs. No, actually, to crank it up 1,000 notches! Your coaches will do so. You’ll see evidence of that today at 2:00pm.

Are you ready to elevate our game to a whole new level?

PRE-GAME PREPARATION – THE OWLS

The regular season is behind us. We learned some things about our opponents, and that’s great. But as for the outcomes of the regular season games, they no longer mean a thing! It’s ancient history! Remember, WHAT TIME IS IT???

The Owls don’t score anymore goals than us, but they have that stingy goalie. I’m sure he’s quite good, but he’s also, obviously, been a little lucky at times. And he hasn’t be effectively challenged! That’s where we come in!

By the way, let’s never forget that we have the best goalie in the league. Period.

The Owls also offer up one key goal scorer.

Before our game today, we will talk about the systems and strategies we will use to win this game. Our systems worked perfectly Friday night. They’ll do so again today.

Our systems today will involve particular assignments for particular players. They’ll be very specific. Get there early. Crank it up 1,000 notches! Excellence! Professionalism! As mentioned in the May 24 blog entry, COMMITMENT!

By the time this 2:00pm tilt ends, the Owls’ heads will be spinning!

TRILLIUM CUP

Lastly, a reminder, we all play, as a team, in the Trillium Cup next weekend. You can find the schedule on the SWO site here. I will add it to the blog shortly.
