The University of Calgary Dinos had a great regular season, winning a record 27 straight games, but as they say, the playoffs are a whole different season.
The Dinos dropped Game 1 of their quarter-final series against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, which left them on the brink of elimination in the best-of-three.
Fortunately, the Dinos were able to regroup and win the next two games, booking their ticket to the Canada West final and the Dr. W.G. Hardy trophy."We had done some great things in the regular season, but playoffs are different," he told CTV News. "You know, I just think we needed a reminder to say hey, let's get back to getting in the middle of it and the heart of the game and our guys did that in .
"I think that's what we're looking forward to as well. The U of A has always been known as a great team in this league, so it will be sweet if we can pull off a couple of wins against them."The Dinos swept the Golden Bears in the regular season, winning both of the games they played against each other.Defenceman Dakota Krebs knows they're in for a big battle."I think, you know, they're a fast team, but we're a fast team, too.
"On Day 1 of training camp, I had the guys turn around and look at the banner behind us," Howell said. "Unfortunately, 13 of those years are on my watch, so I would say we're all a little bit motivated – I guess that’s the right word to make sure we can do something special this year."Friday, March 3; U of A @ U of C; 7 p.m.; Father David Bauer ArenaSunday, March 5 ; U of A @ U of C; 7 p.m.; Father David Bauer Arena
