The team performance has improved because of a combination of factors - settled d pairings, the return of key players like Haddad and Faryna from long injury spells, players understanding their roles, the genius impact of Tyson Strachan and Lordo's coaching. The combination of stability, mental strength and flexibilty along with careful injury management has arrived all at the same time. Long may it continue.
Far too early to start talking about winning trophies - only half way through the season with so much hockey left to play. The league is so close already this season and our team are going to be in a dogfight with Giants and a couple of others for the next 3 months. Belfast have clocked fantastic results on the road - now they enter a long spell of home games to help them. Devils will have to make their road spell in February really count, and those conference games are yet to come.
Let's enjoy the ride for as long as we can.The Boys just need to keep working hard in this groove, focussing on one game at a time.
