Apologies in advance for the negativity about to come. I was looking at a 10 game block prior to the Wednesday game, starting 2/13 @ SBY, ending 3/3 vs. SBY. And I thought, there are some winnable games in there, but, it didn’t take too much of a stretch of the imagination to envision a tidy 10-gamer, as in 0-10. When you factor in the quality of opposition (SBY x 2, SSM, LDN, OTT, NIA), a tough 3 in 3 to the southwest with games in 2 buildings whose teams recently defeated the Troops here (WSR,SAR), a 58 point 5th place West team after trading away 3 brilliant players (OS) who is always a tough out for the Battalion, and a team punching above their weight since offloading 2 pro prospects (MIS), you might have the makings of a season ending stretch. Hopefully they can get a few, and I see 3-7 as a possible best case scenario, with the possibles being OS, MIS and 1 of WSR/SAR. What do other fans think?
In other news, Wednesday’s Feb. 13 Battalion game ad in the Nugget’s print edition featured Thursday Feb. 7 vs. Flint, followed by Thursday Feb. 14 vs. SSM. This was at least the 2nd time I have noticed this type of mistake referring to last week's game, didn’t bother mentioning it previously.
