Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving up north, the Americans are celebrating with an afternoon game.  It will be against the Moose Jaw Warriors at 1 pm our time.  That means no liveblog--I have a real job people.  I'm going to be lucky to even be able to listen to the game :(

Saturday night's game against Brandon...yeah, don't have a lot to say.  I had company over which is part of the reason I wasn't as lively in the liveblog.  But it also meant we were doing a lot of talking, not a lot of listening to the game.  Hey, it happens.

I will say I'm pretty stoked for David Conrad getting a goal.  Huzzah backup bf!!  And in front of the almost-hometown crew too, awesome!

"That's what you call a character win," said Ams coach Jim Hiller. "We needed everybody tonight with the injuries. Every guy put in the hard work, blocking shots, dumping the puck, the small details that had we'd gotten away from."

"No question he (Owsley) was real solid tonight," Hiller said. "That really looked like his true form. Just his rebound control was good tonight. When he does that, you know he's on his game."

Reddick needed stitches after a first-period collision and sat out the rest of the game. Hiller said he wasn't sure whether Reddick would play in Monday afternoon's game at Moose Jaw, but the prognosis sounded good.

"Kruiser got his bell rung a little bit, but he's fine now," Hiller said. (Examiner)

So here's hoping for another character win today, and I'm glad Pokey's ok.
