Sisyphus/Davos

Davos, Switzerland -- There is good news and bad news for HC Davos Dynamo. The good news is that the team is on an absolute heater, winning 11 straight games - including three straight over European Conference rival Riga that has separated the two teams in the standings. After this streak, Davos now sits at a 32-9-6 record for 70 points.

 

But the bad news: That streak still puts them third in the European Conference, as Malmo currently holds an even longer win streak at 13 games and Moscow has continued to play strong enough hockey to stay ahead. Even Vancouver in the other conference has an 8 game winning streak, not allowing Davos to catch up to the overall point lead either.

 

"We're trying, but we can only control what we can control," said center Antonia Bucatini after a recent win against Seattle. "Sure it's a bit frustrating, but as long as we're winning, we're doing our part."

 

Will this change any time soon? Maybe not immediately, as Davos doesn't play Malmo or Moscow for another 10 games. But with 3 games against Malmo and 2 against Moscow left in the regular season - and Riga still lurking as a threat - the European Conference first seed is still very much up in the air.

 

"We've done well in the playoffs, but we've never been above a three seed in my time on the team. I want to experience that home ice advantage," Bucatini added. "And maybe a Victory Cup? Maybe, we'll see. But I can only have those dreams if we do what's needed on the ice first."
