With the scale of change within the team my expectations for the CHL are non existent. My hopes are high though but you have to take that for what it is. A rookie coach new to the competition. Some players new to Europe and that level of competition. No established chemistry. Lack of pre season preparation. What I do want to see is character and fight through out the team with no passengers and a clear identity being established early by Skalde and whomever the captain will be that this team never gives up, will go the distance for each other and is serious about competing with maximum effort every game.
