Jason Hamilton won't be playing. Received a one game league suspension. On paper, they look tough. Maybe Black Biscuit will give us his thoughts.

5 goalies in camp huh? Although we all know which two will make the team, it does show they are looking under every rock.

That is what I was thinking and they say are really looking at the physical guys from Quebec. They claim they will better deliver the kind of hockey they are looking for and may bring back the fans...

Anybody want to venture a guess as to the outcome of the first one. Since we really don't know the team it would be a guess. Good intentions and past histories will have little to do with the outcome. It will be how you feel about your rink, your buddies, and the weapons you bring to the game. Seemed like our guys came out blazing but could not find the back of the net. After first period the fur started flying and we never got back to the game. What is your pleasure? Feast on bat or get stuck cleaning the bat cave.

If we play with discipline, and if Kopriva doesn't play, we should win. If Kopriva plays then all bets are off.

Besides the goalies the total number in camp makes for much more competition for a roster spot. This game could get out of hand if the ref's aren't on top of it. Could be a better game then we think not a lot to go on yet.

2nd line

The Bats looked good on Thursday when they beat Laredo. Lots of energy, good checks, scoring. Of course, some of the older guys didn't play. The Bats seemed a little bit slower on Friday in College Station. Again the older guys didn't play. Saturday, the vets played and they looked tired, passes were off, we weren't hitting anybody, etc. I think we let go four or five guys already. Our SOG have been pathetic. I'm hoping this week will get some of that stuff straightened out. Three of our guys are from the LNAH. Ashlee was already talking about Big Snake, so that should be interesting. It should be a good game on the ice and in Sec. 11. Hope some of you can make it.
