January 13: BLUEGARS START WITH A WIN


MANITOBA BISONS 1
MOUNT ROYAL COUGARS 5

➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW
➤ Game reports: LeagueStat : CW
➤ UofM: MHKY: Cougars knock off Bisons 5-1 at home (with boxscore)
➤ MRU: Cougars Catchup: January 13, 2023 (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
Man: J. Hooker (10:27 2nd)
MRU: K. Morrisseau (08:01 1st), R. Sawchuk (14:56 2nd), N. Yaremko (04:12 3rd), E. Regnier (07:38 3rd), J. Power (16:37 3rd)
Goal: Man: Harkness (38 shots, 33 saves), MRU: (15 shots, 14 saves)

The Bisons gave this one the proverbial college try. It was 2-1 for the Bluegars after two periods, but the 3rd was no contest. For MRU, Sawchuk notched his 15th and Yaremko his 13th. In a statistical twist, neither side had a PP goal in the game.

➤ MacU: Griffins' losing streak stretches to eight after two late goals against leads to 3-2 loss in Regina (with boxscore)
➤ UofR: Cougars score come-from-behind win over MacEwan (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
Mac: D. Kope (08:00 1st), J. Taupert (01:27 2nd)
Reg: C. Riemer (18:22 1st), E. Houk (07:23 3rd), B. Pouteau (16:41 3rd)
Goal: Mac: Abel (28 shots, 25 saves), Reg: Evanoff (28 shots, 26 saves)

This was the 8th straight loss for the Family Guys. It was basically even throughout all the stats, which would give the Mutants hope in Saturday‛s rematch. This allows The Banjo-Cats to move within a point of the Bisons.

Quick Summary
UBC: J. Sandhu (13:49 1st)
Sask: none
Goal: UBC: Lane (27 shots, 27 saves), Sask: Kooy (29 shots, 28 saves)

This is about as close as a game can get. With Jets and Bisons games on Friday night, I never got to see any of this one. UBC got the goaltending they haven‛t always had this year.

Quick Summary
Alta: J. Hall (15:09 1st), E. Florchuk (16:40 1st), J. Freadrich (01:18 2nd), J. Prokop (02:33 2nd), J. Freadrich (10:21 2nd), T. Preziuso (12:49 2nd), E. Florchuk (14:52 2nd), J. Prokop (01:47 3rd), D. Lategan (12:02 3rd), D. Plouffe (15:29 3rd)

Goal: Alta: Berlin (24 shots, 19 saves), TWU: Audet L (52 shots, 43 saves), Berkeliev (6 shots, 5 saves)

Oddly, Holy Trinity built up a 2-0 in the 1st period before things fell apart for them. The Evil Monkeys still look to be in search of a #1 goaltender.

Goal: Man: Hawryluk L (24 shots, 20 saves), Harkness (19 shots, 16 saves), MRU: Sims (19 shots, 19 saves)

This game featured a fast-paced and entertaining 1st period, but in the 2nd period the Bisons fell apart. Riley Sawchuk himself had a hat-trick for the Bluegars.

The Banjo-Cats have come up big win 4 straight wins at a critical time. This vaults them into 6th. However, it seems possible to me that neither Regina, nor Manitoba, nor MacEwan will beat anybody other than one another or Holy Trinity. Regina has no such games left on their schedule.

The Bisons will be without leading scorer Brett Davis, who is in Lake Placid going for gold with Team Canada. Without him the top line has faltered and there is not miuch chemistry, due in part to the injury situation as well as Davis‛s absence.

The last series these teams was wild. The Bisons were unlucky to go pointless. However, since that time UBC has found goaltending, and Manitoba‛s has come and gone. The Bisons have now fallen to 7th place, however still have the inside track on the 6th playoff berth. That‛s because there exists a strong chance that none of the bottom four will win a game against one of the top five. I know that even Holy Trinity did win a game against MRU, but that sort of result is not at all to be expected very often.

Bedrock U had a bye last week, so linked are their stories whIch were skipped over. After a so-so start the Dinos are having a yabba dabba doo time. Meanwhile, the Banjo-Cats are coming off sweeps of Manitoba and MacEwan to get back in the hunt. This is a rare Thursday-Friday series, so here‛s a game report:

That‛s 16 straight wins for the Dinos now. I thought Regina would be a tougher opponent, especially at home.

Both sides have played quite well on occasion, yet have had inconsistent results. This is usually the highlight of the weekend series, and may well turn out that way again this year. Sask was unlucky to lose both games to UBC last weekend. Maybe karma owes them a break. Remember that no Evil Monkeys went to the Universiade.

After suffering sweeps at the hands of the Bisons and Regina, this is MacEwan‛s last chance to gain some ground. I‛m not sure that I will catch much of this series.

January 21: BIRDS OUTBATTLE BISONS


MANITOBA BISONS 2
U.B.C. THUNDERBIRDS 5

➤ Summaries: LeagueStat : CW
➤ Game reports: LeagueStat : CW
➤ UofM: MHKY: T-Birds outlast Bisons 5-2 (with boxscore)
➤ UBC: T-Birds outlast Bisons for sixth straight win to clinch a CW playoff berth (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
Man: J. Hooker (02:58 1st), D. Skoleski (02:26 2nd)
UBC: C. McNabb (00:29 2nd), T. Rask (11:07 2nd), C. Douglas (05:01 3rd), J. Wismer (15:11 3rd), J. Williams (18:27 3rd)
Goal: Man: Harkness (52 shots 48 saves), UBC: Luding (24 shots 22 saves)

The Bisons were without not only Brett Davis (who scored for Canada in Saturday‛s semi-final), but also leading defenceman Chase Hartje. Through two periods it was 2-2 and a free-flowing hockey game. However, in the 3rd the Bisons had nothing left, were outshot 23-6, and were clinging to life until a late insurance goal and empty-netter put it away for the T-irds.

Next weekend the Herd hosts Holy Trinity, and need that 4-point sweep.

Quick Summary
TWU: D. DuBois (11:06 1st)

Goal: TWU: Berkeliev (36 shots 31 saves) Mac: Abel (23 shots 22 saves)

This sweep ended a 9-game losing streak for the Family Guys. The good news is that this vaults them into a tie for 6th place. The bad news is that they will have a tough time winning any more games. They had early season wins over Alberta, MRU, UBC, and Sask. But those were a long time ago, i.e. before the 9-game losing streak. Beating UBC, MRU, or Calgary will be a tall order.

The Evil Monkeys scored all their goals in a dominant 2nd period. The Banjo-Mutts were not overwhelmed as in Friday‛s game, but still seem to be slipping out of the upper echelon of the conference.

The last time the Bisons played Holy Trinity they were on a four-game winning streak. They have started the new year on a six-game losing streak (seven overall). The last four games have been played without Brett Davis, who was off being the leading goal-scorer for Team Canada winning a gold medal at the Universiade. His addition should make a big difference here.

Of note, the Bisons trail MacEwan and Regina by a point. However, other than these games against Holy Trinity, it is fairly likely that all three teams in the "race" could go winless. The Bisons really need all four points up for grabs. If so, they will likely have a lot of wiggle room for a playoff berth.

The last time Bedrock U lost a game, was on October 14th, by 7-2 against the Bluegars. The following night, the Dinos won 4-3 and followed that with 16 more consecutive wins. So can MRU end the streak they started? I would say there is a pretty good chance. Friday night‛s game is the Crowchild Classic at the Saddledome, returning after a Covid absence. Saturday night‛s game is at the Bluegar Barn.

As for the Apes, they need all four points in order to get a shot at 2nd place and a bye into the semi-finals.

A win this weekend won‛t be easy for Mac, however it is their best chance for another win this season. They finish with games against MRU and Calgary.

January 27: BISONS FIND NEW WAY TO LOSE

➤ Game reports: LeagueStat : CW
➤ TWU: SPARTANS DOMINANT IN RECORD ROAD WIN OVER BISONS (with boxscore)
➤ UofM: MHKY: Spartans score early, beat Manitoba 7-1 (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
TWU: D. DuBois (03:22 1st), J. Penner (09:57 1st), L. Spadafora (14:22 2nd), J. Klessens (15:12 2nd), D. DuBois (10:12 3rd), D. DuBois (17:39 3rd), M. Spafford (18:20 3rd)
Man: T. Apetagon (14:28 1st)
Goal: TWU: Audet (43 shots 42saves), Man: Hawryluk (30 shots 24 saves)

Just getting the Friday report ready as I am almost out the door to Saturday‛s game. Busy Saturday activity intervenes.

The Bisons tried a new way to lose, outshooting their opponent 43-30 yet losing 7-1. The Bisons needed a 4-point weekend. Combined with Regina‛s 2 points and MacEwan‛s one point, the Bisons not only have to win the Saturday rematch, they will have to defeat Calgary and/or Alberta.

Just getting the Friday report ready as I am almost out the door to Saturday‛s game. Busy Saturday activity intervenes.

The Bisons tried a new way to lose, outshooting their opponent 43-30 yet losing 7-1. The Bisons needed a 4-point weekend. Combined with Regina‛s 2 points and MacEwan‛s one point, the Bisons not only have to win the Saturday rematch, they will have to defeat Calgary and/or Alberta.

➤ TWU: KLESSENS TALLIES FOUR POINTS IN 7-6 LOSS TO MANITOBA (with boxscore)
➤ UofM: MHKY: Bisons beat Spartans 7-6 in marathon win (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
TWU: J. Klessens (17:08 1st), M. Spafford (17:42 1st), J. Penner (17:24 2nd), D. DuBois (03:07 3rd), D. DuBois (16:57 3rd), J. Klessens (18:12 3rd)

Goal: TWU: Audet (25 shots 18 saves), Man: Harkness (31 shots 25 saves)

The Bisons dominated the 1st and 2nd periods so much that they took some time off in the 3rd period. The Herd led 3-0 early, 3-2 after the 1st, 6-3 after the 2nd, and 7-4 with less than 14 minutes to go. Two late goals for Holy Trinity perhaps made the score look closer than it really was. Still hard to overlook those 3 shots in the 3rd period.

This was extremely chippy. Holy Trinity had two 4-minute penalties, and the Bisons had one 4-minute and one 5-minute. In total, TWU was 3-for-8 on the PP, and the Bisons were 5-for-7.

A much better performance will be needed next weekend when the Bisons travel to the Town of Bedrock.

The Bisons are off to the Town of Bedrock for what may be Mission Impossible. The so-called race for 6th place is one where a single upset win could well tip the balance. Last weekend, Regina picked up two points against Saudi Alberta and MacEwan got a point in British California. So if the Bisons can end the Dinos‛ 19 game win streak they could vault into the playoffs.

Each side will rely upon certain PPG players. The Dinos have Riley Stotts (32 points), Jake Gricius (30 points), and Max Patterson (24 points), all in 24 games. The Bisons counter with Brett Davis (29 points in 20 games, plus 7 goals and 5 assists in 7 games at Universiade) and Devon Skoleski (26 points in 23 games).

The Bison goaltending has ranged from sub-standard to average, and it better be average or better if they want to steal away some points this weekend.

This is a home-and-home battle for glory in banjoland. The Banjo-Mutts have looked at times like a potential contender, and then like also-rans at others. They came close to ending Calgary‛s streak, twice, withy overtime losses. They need 4 points here, and lots of help, if they want any hope of hosting a quarter-final series.

The Bisons are off to the Town of Bedrock for what may be Mission Impossible. The so-called race for 6th place is one where a single upset win could well tip the balance. Last weekend, Regina picked up two points against Saudi Alberta and MacEwan got a point in British California. So if the Bisons can end the Dinos‛ 19 game win streak they could vault into the playoffs.

Each side will rely upon certain PPG players. The Dinos have Riley Stotts (32 points), Jake Gricius (30 points), and Max Patterson (24 points), all in 24 games. The Bisons counter with Brett Davis (29 points in 20 games, plus 7 goals and 5 assists in 7 games at Universiade) and Devon Skoleski (26 points in 23 games).

The Bison goaltending has ranged from sub-standard to average, and it better be average or better if they want to steal away some points this weekend.

This is a home-and-home battle for glory in banjoland. The Banjo-Mutts have looked at times like a potential contender, and then like also-rans at others. They came close to ending Calgary‛s streak, twice, withy overtime losses. They need 4 points here, and lots of help, if they want any hope of hosting a quarter-final series.

This is another home-and-home series. While the Bluegars hopes of a pennant have vanished, they could still grab 2nd place and a quarter-final bye. The Family Guys have the odd good game, but they usually are run out of the rink. Look for that element of surprise here!

This was very similar to Holy Trinity‛s game against the Bisons last Saturday. UBC got the expected two points, and it would take a minor miracle to prevent them from getting all four points this weekend.

ty, hollywood.

No NFL for me. The players are criminals and the owners are shysters. And the games are boring.
