This is true across professional sport.<br /><br />I repeat again - the Frontenacs had a great pre-season two years ago and stunk in the regular season. <br /><br />A team's record in the pre-season is completely irrelevant. QED. Jeesh. Their loss to Belleville proves just as little as their win against Belleville did.Tyler Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837449412824159700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-11903141393997931062009-09-07T12:19:25.463-04:002009-09-07T12:19:25.463-04:00Part of preseason is figuring out who will play in...Part of preseason is figuring out who will play in which line. If lines are starting to play well together than they have a better chance of playing together during the season and by extension it does matter how they look in preseason. Preseason is not purely to judge individual player performance, sure that is a big part of it but not the only part. <br /><br />Why do the Canadian national teams play exhibition matches before a big tournament when the team is already chose (ie world juniors). Get the lines working together, start forming that team, and it does give a good insight into how the team is looking.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995122725201680964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-44309286371481390962009-09-07T11:14:59.994-04:002009-09-07T11:14:59.994-04:00They lost.

It means nothing for a team's fortunes, especially since the line combinations they use are so frequently not the ones they use in the regular season. Its only use is in judging individual player performance.Tyler Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837449412824159700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-82965012396163915772009-09-06T10:31:20.460-04:002009-09-06T10:31:20.460-04:00Saying preseason means nothing is a little much.

I pointed out several times that I don't want to get too excited but they just looked like a much better team in these two games and I'm going to let myself be optimistic. :)<br /><br />As a side note has anyone heard what happened in Bellville last night?Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995122725201680964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-83806234969621842502009-09-05T19:21:27.148-04:002009-09-05T19:21:27.148-04:00"Remember this is a team that was winless in ..."Remember this is a team that was winless in eight preseason games last season, on the road to a disastrous season."<br /><br />And remember they were EXCELLENT in preseason two years ago, on the road to... wait for it...
