As they prepare to face their upcoming opponents, the Blues are determined to learn from their road trip and make the necessary adjustments. They will work on fine-tuning their strategies and focusing on their strengths to get back on the winning track. The return of Dave Jackson, Dino Escutin, Scotty Mcdonald and Jason Tucker will prove invaluable. They are also still looking forward to the debuts of Duffy Baker and Serge Mercier.
