Everybody was ready to go 10 minutes early today, including these three.
Missouri vs. Evansville: Mavericks in five. I think the IceMen are out of gas after a rough last month (4-8) that included some awful road trips. Also like Missouri's goaltending better. Evansville is going with only five defenseman in the playoffs.
Rio Grande Valley vs. Wichita: The Thunder will win in four games because RGV simply won't be able to score against Wichita's defense. The Killer Bees were the CHL's hottest team at the end of the regular season.
As you can imagine, we mostly talk about the playoffs.
David Franke: ``At the end of the day, that's what we came up with. It just didn't work out.
It's just unfortunate it didn't work out. Him getting hurt at the beginning of training camp put him behind the eight ball and it just never really jelled all year.''
He got three games, which includes yesterday's game. Bet that affects how the Komets set up their playoff roster which is due at 4 p.m.
Komets General Manager David Franke said they are hoping Bryant Molle can play this weekend.
In four games last week, Colin Chaulk scored four goals and nine points and was plus-3. That could be tough to beat.
