Your pessimism is based on what exactly? Western was full of transfers last year and won it all, convincingly. An exhibition game is just that, and we will see a line shakeups and a balance of minutes. Goals don’t mean crap, if you can’t get the puck out of your own end. I expect a hard forechecking Sioux hockey team. No time and space. At the end of the day, it’s how you play.
