Much better performance today from the boys in blue, but the final result still ended up in the wrong column of the standings.
The biggest problem in the 4-2 loss to the Jets was an unproductive power play. The Express controlled the play for much of the game, but couldn't manage to capitalize on 7 of their man advantage situations. The second Express goal did go down as a power play goal, but that goal was do solely to individual effort on the part of Express forward Brian McGinty. A Jet player had the puck to the left of their goalie, while his teammates were breaking out of the zone. McGinty checked the Jet player off of the puck, swooped around the back of the goal, and scored the unassisted goal on Jet goalie Matt Wichorek.
Next up for the Express is a 4pm match up on Thursday with the 3 time defending Robertson Cup Champion St Louis Bandits.
See you at the rink.

The team is just not coming together and playing as a team yet. Too many boys with ego's to prove themselves and Coach Cullen has his hands full with the new players and the new asst has no influence yet.
I am disappointed a one Dmans use of profantity.
