Eddie & Out

The team was over at Eddie's Restaurant for the pre-game in Sudbury before our game against the bottom dwelling Laurentian Voyageurs. Eddie tells Deefirst, "these guys look dead they're going to lose tonight." One of his customers told a couple of the guys to sit tall instead of slouching over looking like losers. Holy Geez, talk about predicting the future. Sure enough that night we gave it just enough gas to make it through the 40 minutes and come out on the wrong side of an, 85-80, score. This gives Laurentian hope that their mathematical chance to make the playoffs is still on the right track. Meanwhile, our chance of getting to third spot relies on the Voyageurs having back to back wins, beating U of T tonight. NOT going to happen. And us we get on the bus and head to York to redeem ourselves. 

Matas Trilis had 24 pts, 4 assists while his teammate, Paul Kovacs had 20 pts for the northeners. Our game plan was to stop these two guys, didn't really work. For us an ailing (cold) Boris Bakovic had 27 and 3 steals. Home-returning Josh Budd (sort of, Timmins is only three hours away) had 13 pts and 3 assists in 40 minutes of play. OK, we flatlined that game and now it is over and I'm out.
