It's pretty much down to the short strokes for your hometown heroes. 12 games left in the regular season, and 12 points back of the final playoff spot heading into Friday's tilt with Trenton at the Jack.
Being told to get out there and support your Otters is a bit like reminding you to take your significant other out on your anniversary - you gotta do it.
The mandatory stuff out of the way, the trick for Huntsville the next four games is to not only win, but do it all against top five teams in the Division of 15: Trenton Friday, Oakville Sunday, Couchching next Thursday at Rama then back home next Friday night against (cue horror movie music) Kingston!
Now before you cringe, consider the following two very important points:
-three of those four tilts take place at home. This is where fan supoort is key folks. Get out there, holler, scream, and "Let's Go Otters" til you have not a whisper left in your vocal chords. Nothing like a raucous Jack Bionda to get the Otters pumped (remember last year's semi final vs Kingston?)
-the "taking them too lightly" factor. Theres a VERY real possibility that four teams who pretty much have made the playoffs could take the Otters lightly - and don't think Brian O'Leary and gang don't think this. Reverse psychology is a powerful thing.
Tommorrow, we post some numbers for you to break down the matchups. No broadcast tomorrow night vs. Trenton, but we're back on the air Sunday afternoon when the Blades come to visit. Watch for the link on huntsvilleotters.com and via Twitter, (www.twitter.com/Mediaman2010)
