Getting Hot at the Right Time

Well the season is winding down and the team is really starting to play well down the stretch which is very important.

Down to ten!

We all know this last weekend was not a success however going into this week, we still find ourselves in the race for the playoffs. With only ten games remaining in the regular season we once again are still in control of our playoff hopes. This weekends games are all must win for us and we had a great week of preparation and I feel that this team is ready for the challenge that lies ahead of us. Coach Dineen and coach Weinrich have done a great job this week in practice getting this team ready for the final ten games that start this Friday at the CCCC.

What’s up Portland? DEREK WHITMORE here, left-wing for the Portland Pirates and I’ll be writing a blog on a weekly basis here on this site, so be sure to put it in your “Favorites”.  It’s great to be here in Portland pursuing my dream of playing pro hockey.
 
I’m originally from Rochester, NY but I played junior hockey out in Montana and I played college hockey at Bowling Green.  When I’m not out there on the Civic Center ice playing hockey, I’m either thinking about hockey or watching hockey and I’ve been a Sabres fan for life so I’m really proud to be a part of the organization.
