With a league leading 5-1 record to start this season and the most goals (37) you would think the Hounds have been using all of their weapons….but they haven’t.<\/p>

Undisciplined at times last year, 2nd year forward CC<\/strong> has yet to dress this year due to suspension carry over and minor injury.\u00a0<\/p>

I feel that when Connor<\/strong> returns which could be tonight or very soon, he will make a strong team even stronger.\u00a0<\/p>

This kid brings heart, character, and scoring; although he only had 10 points in 56 games last year, keep in mind it is hard to score when you are sitting in the penalty box for 115 minutes.<\/p>

I really think Connor<\/strong> had a plan last year and that was to play and stick with the team. With that solidified I don’t think he will be as undisciplined as last year, but make no mistake about it he will play the same strong in your face scrappy game that this team needs.<\/p>

Now, moving forward; the stats say it all ….to an extent. Yes the Hounds are averaging about 6 goals a game but having played only 6 you have to keep that number relative as 11 of their 37 goals came in a blowout on opening night agains Flint.\u00a0<\/p>

Now so far the Hounds are doing great with a 2nd overall PP and a 5th overall PK.<\/p>

Now let’s stick with the PK because it ties into an area the Hounds need to work on and that is goals against.\u00a0<\/p>

Charlie<\/strong> and Landon<\/strong> have played good; great at times but let’s say very good for the most part.\u00a0<\/p>

I quickly went over the numbers and the Hounds are about 16th overall in goals against giving up 23 for an average of 3.8 or just under 4 a game which will not win you championships.\u00a0<\/p>

All too often during the last road trip the Hounds got caught at times running around and the pk looked more like pin the tail on the donkey than a box formation.\u00a0<\/p>

Coach Dean<\/strong> commented as much about the Windsor game and lack of structure and he is right.\u00a0<\/p>

But moving forward it is early in the season and Hounds are off to a great start, even cracking the CHL top 10 list this week.\u00a0<\/p>

I see a strong performance tonight from the Hounds and especially from Jack Beck<\/strong> who will want to show His former employer the Ottawa 67’s up<\/em> for letting him go.\u00a0<\/p>

After tonight the Hounds play Owen Sound and then back on the road next week.\u00a0<\/p>

Go Hounds Go !!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
