Our favorite junior hockey team hits the road tonight for a 7:30pm matchup with the North Iowa Outlaws in Mason City. I won't bother going into too much detail, as you can get that from the two links above.

The Express are hot, the Outlaw's are not. If the Express play their game, and come out firing, they should be able to pick up the win. The Express have beat the Outlaws twice this season, once in a shootout, and once in overtime. It would be nice to avoid those scenarios tonight, and win by a couple of goals.

Big Kahuna's Predictions:

Express 5 - Outlaws 2

The Express defense and whichever goalie gets the start, will keep the Outlaws in check. The offense will continue to capitalize on their chances. Look for a big night from Chris Darnell's line.

Prediction for the other game tonight in the NAHL: USNTDP over Motor City - It will be interesting to see what becomes of the Machine now that they made a coaching change. Personally, I think they will get much better from here on out, but then again they have no where to go but up. They dug themselves a pretty deep hole, and will have a hard time making the playoffs.


- I have some good news that I will release following the game, so check back later.

See you at the rink.
