It feels like the calm before the storm here inside the BI-LO Center. Ironic, somewhat, because it seems very similar to the weather outside. On that front, if the pre-game block party is canceled we'll make that announcement around 3:00 this afternoon. But here inside both teams have wrapped up their morning skates and the teams are off for the pre-game meals and requisite naps to get ready for this contest.
For the last couple of days, I've been trying to get a feel for how I think this game might go, and I haven't figured out a darn thing. The first four games followed a pretty standard pattern with Greenville dominating play for long stretches of time, but having trouble converting. Wheeling would answer back with a couple of chances of its own and usually cash in the real high-quality ones. Game Five was the abberation with Greenville putting up big offensive numbers, but also giving Wheeling more chances to score than it had in the other four games. All this while the Road Warriors were short two players due to suspension. Will tonight's game match what we saw in Game Five, or will it be back to the old standard from the first four games? Does Peter Delmas start after getting yanked not even half way through Game Five, and if he does how will he rebound? Can Nic Riopel piece together two strong starts and give Greenville its best opportunity to win tonight? How will the return of players from the AHL on both sides effect the respective clubs? So many questions to be answered over the 60 minutes of game time. In the mean time, here's my video diary from today's morning skate.
Also want to say happy 22nd birthday to my sister Tracy!
