Subject: Mike Fisher's Blog - February 7 Author: Admin [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:12:33 02/27/08 Wed This One's For The Fans Posted by Mike Fisher on February 7, 2008 in Mike Fisher We’re all looking forward to the skills competition we’ll be holding here on Sunday afternoon. It’s kind of a fun event. It’s pretty relaxed and it’s for the fans, basically. We just go out and try to have some fun, and it’ll be a time to show the skills – or lack thereof – that we have. I won the hardest shot competition last year, but I don’t have anything special planned to defend my title. I might tweak the stick a bit to get an extra mile an hour but I haven’t been practising for it. I expect I’ll have some good competition this year. Schubie’s a contender, for sure. Meszaros, Corvo … there’s guys who are going to be gunning for me. I’m hearing we’ll have at least 15,000 people out on Sunday. That doesn’t really surprise me. The fan support that we’ve had all year has been great. Some of the open practices we’ve had, you see all the fans out. It’s pretty amazing. It adds to the whole thing if there’s a lot of people there. Hopefully, we can make it enjoyable for them. It’s coming down to the stretch run for us now. We’ve got 28 games left, and this is when we’ve got to start ramping up our game. We obviously haven’t performed as well in December and January and there’s the trade deadline coming, with changes possible and a lot of different factors. But we’ve got to step it up. There’s always a little bit of tension about the trade deadline. It’s worse for some guys more than others because of the rumours you hear. It’s a tough time, for sure. At the same time, it’s about making your team better and realizing that it’s possible. None of us really have control over that. Definitely, some guys think about it and there’s nervousness about it, for sure. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
