Pat Svoboda on Tight Playoff Race

[StamkosFan 72]

In spite of trying to compete this year, Davos sits in 7th 30 games in. Big acquisitions of Shawn Glade, Ryuu Crimson, and Veran Dragomir were expected to help, but instead it seems as if the same old story is playing out. Right winger Pat Svoboda spoke about the tough competition in the league this year. "Well, I thought we would be a top 3 team after all the good players we got added to our squad, but we just don't have the chemistry down pat. I think once we start to click we'll start climbing, it's not like there's a mountain of difference. There's a four point difference between us, seventh place, and the third place Vancouver Wolves; it's anyone's game, that's a difference of one loss from them and one win for us. Things can change really quickly if we can start stringing together some wins, and I know I haven't lived up to expectations myself this year. I need to chip in more on the scoreboards and that might make a different in some close matches, get us the extra wins we need to cross the playoffs threshold. I would say first or second place are locked down though, Helsinki and Riga are starting to run away with their leads; I mean Helsinki is 14 points ahead of us, there's no way we're catching them unless they have some sort of catastrophic collapse," said Pat Svoboda.
