Underdogs - by Kristy

What does it mean to be an underdog? A Yahoo! definition search gives these results:

un·der·dog (ndr-dôg, -dg) KEY

NOUN:

1. One that is expected to lose a contest or struggle, as in sports or politics.
2. One that is at a disadvantage.



In the 2011 Ontario Hockey League round one playoffs, the Plymouth Whalers have been battling the Kitchener Rangers. The Rangers finished the regular season in third place, as the Plymouth Whalers fell to sixth place. The match up is one that heavily favored the Rangers to many people, however the Whalers took the lead of the series early. The Rangers battled back to force a game 7 and the winner advances to the second round, while the loser's season will come to an end. Game 7 takes place tonight in Kitchener at 7pm.

The Whalers have been known for their heart during this series. They've overcome a lot and play hard. I hope that their heart will allow them to be victorious tonight and move on to round 2. Go Whalers!
