PR - Saints

Saskatoon Saints Upset Bobcats

After a brief slump, the Saints are looking good this week with 3 wins, one of which against the rival Bobcats. GM Young, "we have been doing surprisingly well against the best teams in the league but have struggled against the bottomdwellers - at this point, these young guys have to consider every game as a playoff game and take each team seriously." Young was referring to the recent loss to the Patriots and other out-of-playoff teams.

With a 2-1 win against the Bobcats yesterday, the Saints take a huge "4-point" game as they begin the final fifth of the season. With 18 more games to be played, the team seems confident with Cloutier in net who has started out with an impressive 4-1-0 record, .924 Save%, and a 2.29 GAA. If Cloutier can provide solid #1 goaltending, Bryzgalov will certainly be able to pick up the rest of the wins to finish this season.

There has been a few rumours about one or two more possible moves before the trade deadline approaches tomorrow but it seems as though Young will refrain from making any more changes so as to keep to this years relatively bizarre approach - relative to Mr. Young! - for there has only been two trades made by him this season. Most critics have in the past charged Young with over-trading and therefore, the neo-Saints management of TFHL 16 has taken a different approach. Thus far, the team is on track for its best season in franchise history and the team's core is the youngest in the league.

Tomorrow night, the Saints face the powerhouse Pain. Cloutier will be once again tested, for a big win would help the Saints inch closer to their goal: the President's Trophy and Eastern Conference Championship.

Pax Dioecesis Saskatoonensis!
