Hittin' the Road

We're going to play the Bakersfield Jr. Condors this weekend in Bakersfield, California. Then, after this weekend, we're staying 5 days in Las Vegas, and then going to play in Long Beach the next weekend. We're gone for about 10 or 11 days in total, so it's going to be a long road trip. I'm excited though. How could I complain about 5 days in Vegas? I'm feeling ready to play, ready to get back on track. I just need to execute better, think on every shift, and never take a shift off. I know I can be a force at this level if I play smart hockey. I can make a huge impact if I use my brain out on the ice, like all the best defensemen in the game do. I'm excited for the road trip with the guys, though, and to challenge myself to do better in these next 6 games. The season is almost over, and this is when we have to be at our highest level to get ready for playoffs.
