Talbot Blog: Rockhoppers Move Into First
It’s always great to win big away games. Usually, the game plan is to keep it simple, hoping the other team tries to do too much in an effort to please their fans. As a goalie, my job is, obviously, to keep the score as low as possible but also to give some confidence to my teammates. Our last two games have been pretty similar in structure and in results,…

Rush Start 1-2 But “Nobody is Panicking”
On Friday night the Edmonton Rush played their third game of the season, and they fell to the three win Washington Stealth. Despite their 1-2 start, defenseman Brett Mydske says that nobody is panicking yet. “Obviously being 1-2 is how we wanted to start the season, but nobody is panicking. We haven’t been playing terribly, but I think playing a full 60 mins is key. In this league you can’t…
