More Reign.
Just caught this tidbit in yesterday's Victoria (B.C.) Times Colonist.
Always nice to get an outsider's take on what's happening at The Bank:
And this week's opponent isn't the same Reign team -- owned by theparent Los Angeles Kings -- that Victoria swept in a two-game set in January at the Memorial Centre. The Reign at that time were beset by injuries and had several players called up to the AHL. Most of those players are back, including touted Kings draft picks Jeff Zatkoff in goal and Bud Holloway on wing.
"They play a defensive system and take advantage of their opportunities," said Morrison. "They are a very disciplined team, much like Vegas, and are tough to play against. We've had very tight games with them. In many ways, in their first season of operation, they have been the surprise of the league. Karl Taylor has done a tremendous job there. They are for real and will be a factor in the playoffs, as well."
The Reign have been a hit in the burgeoning area known as the Inland Empire of Southern California and drew 9,659 fans on Saturday for their 7-3 win over Bakersfield.

Let not let the fact that we don't have REAL backup goalie available and Zatkoff has played far too many games in a row now. he has to be very tired also Martens has been called up so our D is a littel weak right now.
