THE TALON

O Consistency, where art thou?

Let's look back a week or so. A 4-1 record, the top offense in the league, solid defensively. The going was good. Fast forward to now. Three game losing streak, shut out twice, mounting injuries, porous defensively. A team in trouble.

Not helping matters was what looked like a win in one of the matches against archrival South Calgary, only to be yanked away due to a technical glitch. Talk about a kick in the groin.

What's happening? Well for one, Theodore has given a glimpse of what life with him in nets will be like in RHL17... but it shouldn't be happening now.

Two: Cammalleri and King are two of the leaders on offense. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see support players producing. But they can't be depended upon. Case in point- both are now injured for extended periods.

The question becomes what about the stars? Smyth and Arnott, the two highest paid forwards: 2g each in 8 games. Not good enough. Conroy: 0g 4a and a -4. Not good enough. Bell: 1a. Not good enough.

Consistency... every team's dream. Sigh...
