Jim Cressman (see previous post) from the London Free Press (link) has written an article about Battachio. Battachio discusses his availability for tonight’s game, his shoulder injury, and the neurosurgery he had last year. Reading about it again makes you appreciate how he has been able to bounce back.
Also, Chris Stevenson has written about the game tonight in the Ottawa Citizen (link). Some of the more interesting snippets:
"We've got nothing to lose, we're going to go in there and just work our butts off," 67's captain Will Colbert said yesterday as Ottawa wrapped up practice at the Brian Kilrea Arena before jumping on the bus for London.
Winless in two games and with just one victory in the past four, the 67's will have to be at their best or, as coach Kilrea said before departing, "If you don't play your best, you don't stand a chance."
And Bickell and Todd are still dealing with the ‘breaking team rules’ thing --- it must have been something very serious:
Meanwhile, veteran left-wingers Brody Todd and Bryan Bickell still appear to be in the doghouse after breaking undisclosed team rules last week and winding up as scratches in a 4-3 loss Sunday in Kingston. Kilrea wasn't sure which of them would dress.
