The Express jump into the top 10 for the first time this season, while Albert Lea is back to the bottom.
- The Wenatchee Wild had a great weekend, sweeping a 3 game series from the visiting Wichita Falls Wildcats. The Wild now have a vicious road trip to Alaska, playing 7 games in 9 days against the 3 Alaska based teams. Good luck to our fellow expansion team.
- Two stats that Roy Koenig brought up in the "Express Coaches Show" Monday night: The Express are 7-4-1 in Central Division games, and 6-2-1 over the last 9 games.
- Also from the Coaches show: Cullen talked about injured Express forward John Kruse. He said that Kruse has been skating with the team, and riding the bike. He also mentioned there is a chance he could be back earlier than originally thought. It will be a nice boost for the Express to get John's +7 rating and experience back in the lineup.
- Bismarck Bobcat goalie David Bosner committed to Air Force. He will join Express forward Stephen Carew, and former Express players Tim Kirby, Kevin Wright, and Scott Kozlak at the Air Force Academy. I thought I saw Air Force coach Frank Serratore at Friday night's game with Bismarck, but figured he was their to watch his son, who is a member of the Bobcats.

Big Kahuna's Veteran's Day Message: It doesn't matter what your personal opinion is of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or whether you voted for McCain or Obama. We as American citizens need to support the men and woman that have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. You don't need to support the war to support the soldiers fighting in the them, so thank a veteran the next time you see one.
See you at the rink.

For obvious reasons, I will not post your comment. I do not work for the Express organization, but I will help if I can. Please send me an email at owatonnaexpress@yahoo.com, and I'll send you a reply with some suggestions. I'll keep your information confidential, but we need to handle this off of the blog.
