12+ and Counting......

 

Well the season is almost at mid point and Devin is doing very well.  He has won his last twelve games in a row and is fourth on the top goalie leader board.  He has a 2.44 g.a.a. with a .909 save percentage.  He is also the top goaltender in the OHL for the month of November.  The other goalie will be leaving for WJ soon and Devin will be playing most of the games in his absence, lets keep the ball rolling Otters.  The Otters are the number one team in the CHL right now with 24 wins, 4 losses and one OT loss, and are still undefeated at home.  The team is playing great and that is thanks to our coaching staff and the players buying into the system.  Way to go Otters!

The Season So Far

Well the Otters have made an amazing turn around so far this season.  They are 16-3-0-1 on the season and have broken two franchise records.  They broke the record for most consecutive wins in a season with 12 and they broke the record for most consecutive home wins at 9 and counting.  Due to an issue with the other goalie, Devin is playing.  He has six consecutive wins and has a gaa of 2.64.  His save % dropped a hair; however, he is playing well since his surgery.  He has two back to back shutouts to his credit as well.  The team is playing extremely well and the Otters are first in the Western Conference at this moment.  We will savor the feeling!

Nine Month Update.........

Well due to forgetting my password, I have not updated Devin's blog since December.   The Otters ended the season slightly better than 2011-12, coming in second to last instead of last place in the league.  Devin also came home extremely sore and, after doing some investigating, it was suspected he had a sports hernia.  Given that the best sports hernia physician was in Philadelphia, PA, we drove twelve hours leaving on a Sunday, July 22nd, he was diagnosed on Monday, surgery on Tuesday and at 1:00 a.m. in the morning we drove another twelve hours home.  He has done remarkably well, worked hard; however, was unable to participate in training camp.   He began taking shots again two weeks before the end of the preseason and played the last preseason game, Otters winning 4-2.  He now feels the best he has felt in a year and a half, having played that long on the injury.  Devin made the NHL futures list for players eligible for the 2014 draft next June.  The Otters first regular season game is tonight; however, most likely Dansk will start in net.  Will keep the blog updated for the season.
