Peterborough Express: Off to a Great Start

Even though I have not renewed the Peterborough Express for this season, as it got bumped for the SKA Report and I don't want to be bogged down with more than two team reports, today is as good as any to give an update on the Ontario Hockey League team known as the Petes.  As of today, the Petes are third in the division with 13 points, behind Kingston and Oshawa, both of whom have 15 points.  Despite a crushing season opening loss to Kingston 11-4, the Petes have rebounded nicely, going 6-2-0-1 since then, and certainly, Jody Hull behind the bench has made a difference.  I thought had the Petes gotten off to even a slightly better start last season before the coaching change, the Petes could have snuck into the playoffs and caused a scare.  As it is, the Petes are doing well, and Michael Giugovaz has done well in goal when given a chance.  It's a long season, but the Petes are offering the fans hope for the first time in quite a while.
