The Express jump up a couple of spots this week coming off of Saturday's win over Bismarck. I moved Alpena up 4 spots based on their acquistion of former Express goalie Nick Graves. Graves immediately makes the Ice Diggers a better team, and they showed it last Saturday night with a big win over Mahoning Valley.

- I realize most, if not all of you, occasionaly read the NAHL forum at glassratter.com. I have been a member of that site for several years, and usually check it daily to see what is on everyone else's mind. For the record, the person posting on glassrattler as "Big kahuna" is not me. That should go without saying to anyone who has routinely read my blog, but I wanted to mention it anyways. Thank you to all the true Express fans who have contributed to the discussion here. I'll keep visiting glassrattler, and you should too, but just remember that there are several so called Express "fans" on there that have ulterior motives.
