I'll take a 1-1 series, with the next 2 games back in the civilized world. It's okay, they don't have the Internet up in North Dakota yet, so feel free to take some shots at the Bobcats yourself.
Our favorite junior hockey team got the job done tonight, winning 3-1 in game #2 of the Central Division Finals. This marks the first victory in Bismarck for the Express this season. If you throw out the first period of Friday night's game, the Express have held their own against a Bobcats team that dominated the Express in the regular season.
Now the Bobcats have to make the long bus ride down to Southern Minnesota for a pair of games next weekend in Faribault, while the Express are sleeping in their own beds. It is basically a best of three series with the Express having home-ice advantage.
Grab your air-horns, buckets, and other noisemakers, and let's pack the arena next weekend.
See you at the rink.

When is the next meeting for the teams ownership donators to update on teams finances and P & L?
great job by the players and coaching staff getting only one win away from the Robertson Cup considering the team had to start from scratch.
Let's hope financially the Express can keep rolling. With some more aggressive marketing, maybe the team can make a go of it, becase I believe the on ice product will get even better.
Agree with you "midway tailgater". Players were a hard working bunch and the coaches didn't let them give up.
I hope that the town of Owatonna has taken notice of this and will support the team to an even greater extent next season. A hockey team, even at the junior level, brings in many outside dollars to the town. The players are there for 7 months, parents visit and quite often stay over night, taxes are collected on purchases, and so on. It has a trickle down effect on the local economy. Which in turn, helps everyone.
