PREVIEW: Adrenaline set to fly to Sydney and Melbourne in busy weekend |
|

|
The Adelaide Adrenaline have had an extremely difficult schedule to start the season. They opened at home vs. the defending champion Northstars, played two games on the road vs. the Goodall Cup favourite Melbourne Ice, played two tough home games against a strong Ice Dogs squad and now go play four straight on the road. The thing about this road trip is that it is split city. Sydney on Saturday, Melbourne on Sunday for two weekends in a row. All these games are crucial too. The AIHL appears to be more competitive than ever this season so taking points on the road is vital. The Adrenaline start their road trip Saturday at 4:30PM Adelaide time vs. the Sydney Ice Dogs - the team they split games with last weekend. The match will not be livestreamed but the Ice Dogs will provide an audio call of the game beginning at 4:30PM on www.mixlr.com/sydneyicedogs. On Sunday morning the boys wake up early and fly to Melbourne to take on the Mustangs. This game starts at 3:30PM Adelaide time and will be streamed at a link provided at a later date. Here are some key things to look out for on the weekend. 1) Depth The Adrenaline are running thin on bodies after a slew of injuries smacked the team in the face. Forward Steve Best (shoulder) plus defensemen Zach Boyle (shoulder) and Ben Gebert (shoulder) are all set to miss about a week of action due to injury. Adelaide have now scored in four straight games on the power play. This is a significant improvement for a team that was dead last in power play conversions last year. 3) Killer Cam leads the way Adelaide fans must be enjoying watching import Cam Critchlow go to work every weekend. The Canadian forward has 11 points in five games and leads the league in scoring. Last time he played on the big ice in Melbourne he scored four goals vs. the Ice. Can he do the same vs. the Mustangs? 5) The lowdown on the Ice Dogs Last weekend the Ice Dogs suffered a serious setback in losing star local forward Billy Cliff to a foot injury. He will miss significant time. This means that another local will have to step up and that will likely be 18 year old Ellesse Carini who scored last weekend vs. the Adrenaline. 6) What's up with the Mustangs?
