GAME 6 PREVIEW: NO ROOM FOR ERROR

Patrick Sharp

Thunder Bay, Ont.- "It doesn't get anymore serious then this," said by Timberwolves alternate captain, Patrick Sharp after a devastating 6-0 loss on Sunday to the Quebec Remparts. "We needed for this to be a statement game for us. All that we accomplished was a chance to see what kind of intestinal fortitude we have. To be dismantled like that and in front of our fans. It's one of the most embarrassing moments in my hockey career. If anyone else in this room disagrees with that, then they need not bother making the trip back to Quebec."

"We didn't have it today," said head coach, Craig Hartsburg. "There's plenty to dissect and digest and no time to hang our heads. What's done is done, but this is not over. We have to come out tomorrow and want it more. Simple as that. There's no technique or secret formula. We have to want it more. We're not ready for our season to be over."

Despite a team oozing of confidence and upbeat attitude, the reality is that the Thunder Bay Timberwolves are on the brink of being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. For the second year in a row. Can they overcome the odds, even out the series and win it in seven games? Game 6 is tomorrow in Quebec.
