The situation is simple for the Bisons if they want a playoff berth: Sweep the Family Guys to pull within 4 points with 6 games remaining after this weekend. In the last five years, the Herd is 6-3-1 against the Mutants. Therefore they should have some degree of confidence. Will the goaltending come through? Will their highly touted forwards generate some offence? Will the depleted defence find enough duct tape to hold it together for the weekend? We’ll see.
Each side has two stories linked on their websites, for your further reading. However, LeagueStat has just the Media Stats page.

The T-irds are in an almost desperate bid to catch MRU in the race for 1st place in the West Division, whilst the Banjo-Cats are simply looking to play spoiler. I have a hunch that the Kittens have an upset left in them before this season is over. If things get tough in this one, the Tweety Birds may have to call upon an old lady armed with an umbrella to fend off the evil Puddy Tats.

On paper, this is the feature match-up of the weekend. The Evil Monkeys and Banjo-Mutts have battled for 1st place several times over the recent decades. Sask puts out a pretty good video stream, for those who have CWTV access. Or you could listen at Huskie Fan’s audio link.

The Dinos’ players and staff on loan to Team Canada’s Universiade team will be back, perhaps with a bit of jet lag. Meanwhile, Holy Trinity came oh-so-close to an upset of UBC last weekend. Although these teams are 3rd and 4th in the West Division, Holy Trinity hasn’t got enough games left on the schedule to make a run at that playoff berth.

UNIVERSIADE
Team Canada won a 2nd straight gold medal, however without the Russkies around this loses a lot of lustre. Plenty of other strong hockey countries also do not send teams. Others, like Ukraine, send a U25 national team. Wikipedia has all scores and standings. Here’s a quick recap:
Gold medal: Canada 3 Slovakia 1
Bronze medal: Ukraine 5 U.S.A. 3
5th place: Czechia 2 Kazakhstan 5
7th place: Japan 6 South Korea 1
9th place: Sweden 4 Poland 3 (so)
