The problem is, and I think you have probably ran into this a few times in your career, you won't ever compete with the elite teams in your league (in D4 period) who do take care of their gameshape. Maybe with a significant roster advantage but even then you will be in for a battle.
PFFT.... You don't know what your talking about bro. The only way those allegedly better teams beat our hallowed hometown hero is the same way you almost won back to back titles, they are cheating. Your cheating, Hrudey is a dirty cheat, KDB were nothing but a buncha cheats. Why if we ever played honestly Wardo would win B3, in fact if we were ever honest with ourselves we would all just forfeit every game against wardo because we don't even DESERVE to step on the floor with such a otherworldly being.
