That's great for Torrie.
What an amazing turnaround for this team. Last year they were beat on a nightly basis. No one was standing out, and they looked like they couldn't wait for the season to end. This year the team's getting the wins, and several of the players are being recognized by the WHL for their great play.
Congratulations!
Agreed. Jamie Benn gets the player of the week in December, Colin Long gets his due with the player of the month award, Schenn wins gold and now Jung receives some time in the spotlight. Last year, when game 72 came around, it was almost like it was a relief that the season was over. This season is simply a lot of fun.
