The Hounds Continue to Struggle

[Ozzy Batty 293]

Another series of games, another 2 losses. What does that make it, 4 in a row now? The fans at Mississauga are trying to continue to fill the stands for the home games, but even they are starting to worry that the Hounds may miss out on the playoffs. They have dropped to 4th in the conference, the last of the playoff spots…and they only hold on to that spot with a slim 1-game lead. 

As the players headed home after their last defeat, there doesn't seem to be any letdown in their determination, but we cant help but wonder if the lack of depth is going to hinder them as the season progresses. 

The active players on the roster continue to hold onto their spots on the league stat leader boards, if not improving it. But having 3-4 players who come to every practice, stay late to work together and are willing to do whatever they can to help the team, well, will it be enough when the team could have a maximum of 15 players?

Only time will tell if the Mississauga hounds can hold on to that final playoff spot, but if recent results are anything to go by, then it appears their chances are 50-50, at best.
