(S30) PT 4 - Tough Loss

[Oles]

The biggest rival for the Minnesota Grey Ducks would have to be either Portland or Kansas City, depending on who you ask. For me I think it’s the Coyotes, both teams have a history, especially a recent one as both teams went to the playoffs last season, and both teams could meetup again this postseason depending on how the cards playout. You can always expect a close game when these two teams meetup, and to me I feel like they are our biggest competition when it comes down to it. A loss to them is always a frustrating one, and while the Grey Ducks have gotten the better of them in every matchup since Kaz has been a starter, it’s always a tough game even if it doesn’t seem like it. If any one player were to step up and motivate the team it would have to be John Huntsman, he is a beloved member of the locker room and everyone looks to him as a leader of the team, he has been a staple of the team and a core part of their success over the past two seasons. Hunstman is one of the best leaders on the team, and is one of the guys who people can always count on to rally the team and get us back on track. (222 words)
