Four games into the regular season, the Port Moody Black Panthers have earned six of a possible eight points.
Ron Luniw will take that any time.
"That's 750 per cent," said the Cats general manager, after his team tripped the Grandview Steelers 6-5 in overtime Saturday at the Port Moody Rec Complex. "In my history, if you can have that at the end of year you could win a championship.
"Realistically, we could be 4-0 but I don't want to be greedy."
With two victories and a pair of OT losses, including a 6-5 defeat Friday to the host Abbotsford Pilots, the Cats are indeed off to one of their best starts in years.
Against Grandview, they battled back from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits and took the win on a Trevor Kang tally two minutes into the extra session.
The turning point for the Cats came in the second period, in which they out-scored the Steelers 4-1.
"We started slowly but in the second period we got into speed mode," Luniw said. "We can skate with anybody and our big this is we're competing."
Martin Campbell rifled home two goals to pace the Cats, who got a standout 46-save performance by goalie Nick Taylor. Rino Minni, Dylan Friel and Richard Moul, who netted the 5-5 equalizer with fewer than six minutes remaining in regulation time, were the Cats' other goal-getters.
On Friday, Taylor was again on the top of his game, blocking 52 blasts as PoMo prevailed in OT over the Pilots.
Anthony Dispirito and Friel rallied the Cats with a goal and two assists apiece, while the other single marksmen for PoMo were Kang, Julian Klaric and Cameron Patterson.
The Cats host the Richmond Sockeyes, who sit 4-0 via four straight shutouts, on Saturday, 7:45 p.m.
