You know how when a team is surprisingly good, or at least surprisingly successful, and then they start to believe wins will just come to them, so they let up?
Yeah, the Aeros ran headlong into that one Sunday, getting lit up 6-2 just two days after playing, according to coach John Torchetti, their best game of the season in Hamilton.
The good news is that the Aeros found The Stuff when they needed it in Hamilton on Friday. A tough team and a tough place to play, they held the Bulldogs to two power play goals and won 4-2.
They beat the Lake Erie Monsters the day before, and I got to see that in person, but honestly, Lake Erie is so abysmal this season, the fact that they got 3 goals past Houston annoyed me. It was an up and down game, but the Aeros were good at the times they needed to be.
And looking at a few more stats: The Aeros have the 9th best power play in the league, but a middling penalty kill that sits at 16th in the league.
The boys in the bombers hit the ice again on Thursday against a good Abbotsford Heat team who are chasing them in the standings. Then they face Charlotte on Sunday.
But with both games in Houston and no days lost to travel, they should get some quality practice AND rest this week.
