Stealth vs Edmonton Rush April 7th Preview

April 7, 2007
Author: tfitch

Time to potentially lock up our play off spot, maybe even 3rd place.

Edmonton’s coming to town after battling in Calgary last night. There trip was longer than ours today, so hopefully that’s to our advantage.

The Rush are really hungry for a win to fight for a playoff spot. But so are we, and we’re at home and we’ve beaten these guys twice already. We’re one of the few teams that have even beaten them at their own place this year. We’ve got their number and we’re going to ring it up tonight.

Compared to how tough Portland matches up with us and plays us, Edmonton is a smaller team where we can assert ourselves and control things. After last nights match, we’ll all be looking forward to it.

Curtis Palidwor will be motivated to make up for the last game were he let in 14, about 4 more than his average. But I think we can do it again.

It’s a Saturday game instead of a Sunday game, so the attendance numbers will be up from the last time. A little louder and prouder fans to urge the Stealth forward.

We’ll win about 13-8 tonight I figure. Everyone will be able to take a sigh of relief that we’ve achieved the team goal for the season to make the playoffs. Next week we can work on work on some playoff strategy against the might Colorado Mammoth. Good times.
