Two games and 2 good efforts by the Otters. The NB game was a tough one for the Otters. I usually am pleased with the refs, but not on Saturday night. NB got away with some calls, and it seemed that the Otters had some real marginal calls against them. Coach needs to say something to the refs in situations like that. It plants the seed. Sunday's game was a doozey. The boys fought back against a very good club. The refs let them play. I am really disappointed in the attendance so far. Granted, it was the Steelers vs. Browns, but it still stinks. This group is fun to watch. They just don't quit.
Though they lost vs NB, it was impressive to see them claw their way back after falling behind 2-0. They made it a 2-2 game.
Since Singer has returned from suspension, Erie is 5-2. They have beaten some good opponents too in niagara, Ottawa, Missy
They also have been resilient.
Down 2-0 to Ottawa in the 3rd period, won game 3-2 in OT
Down 3-2 middle of 3rd to Windsor, won in SO.
Down 3-0 to Guelph on the road, won game 5-4 in OT
Down by 1 goal on 3 occasions vs Missy, won game in OT
this is a big difference over last year with Erie, where generally the team was the one blowing the leads. In fact, Erie lost 11 games last year where they had a 2 or 3 goal lead at some point.
