With their next opponent now locked in, the Ligers met up the following morning for a light training session and some film study. There were 3 days remaining until the first game of the series.
Since New York were knocked out, the Ligers would have home field advantage since their regular season record was better than Houston.
In the film room, Coach Mark Williams was standing up front, addressing his players.
"Alright, first off I just want to say how proud I am of each and every one of you." Mark said, his eyes gazing around the room. "After not even making the post season last season, we've come a long way to get where we are now."
His words were met with agreement from the players.
"You've made me look fantastic, so I appreciate the effort." Mark added, giving a wink.
Ken laughed, as did the other players. He knew it was a joke, but he was not wrong. No club in their right mind would fire a coach who could turn a team around like the Mark.
