The Bisons never got any offence going in this one. However, they were organized in their own end and were only down 2-0 almost mid-way through the 3rd period. However, they appeared deflated when the Banjo-Mutts scored on a 4-minute PP. On the night, Sask was 2-for-3 on the PP, and the Bisons 0-for-4.

The Bisons have a bye week next, followed by a home series with MRU.

Goal: UBC: Mirwald (14 shots, 10 saves), MacU: Ironside (33 shots, 32 saves)

Once again, this game overlapped with Bison coverage. Carson Ironside made his CW debut in the Family Guys net, and had a good night. However, fellow rookie netminder Brett Mirwald had a rough night, stopping just 10 of 14 shots.

Goal: Reg: Evanoff (30 shots, 26 saves), TWU: Sommer (35 shots, 33 saves)

IMO, this weekend result kills the hopes of the Banjo-Cats. Holy Trinity played one man short. The score is a bit misleading, in that Trinity’s last two goals were empty-netters. It is very hard for me to imagine TWU catching Calgary, MRU, or UBC, which they must do to make the playoffs.

Preview: November 8-9, 2024: BISONS’ BYE WEEK

Bye weeks are yucky. But with 9 teams, they have to happen. The Bisons opened with a bye week, but inserted some non-conference play. Now they’ll have to sit back to watch Jets v Stars and Bombers v Riders in quite a Saturday double-header. The CW scheduling has been awkward. After this weekend, some teams will have played 12 games, whilst the Bisons have played just 8.

After two losses on the road against Holy Trinity, the Banjo-Cats desperately need some upsets on home ice. They looked atrocious last weekend. They are capable of much better. Big question: Will Bedrock U have a full roster? They have had to play short before they had the bye last week.

Holy Trinity beat one batch of bumpkins at home last weekend, can they repeat the trick this weekend on the road? I doubt it. The Banjo-Mutts are two or three levels above the Banjo-Cats.

The home-and-home Battle of Edmontown should not be a foregone conclusion. The Evil Monkeys are heavy favourites. The Family Guys stole one from UBC last week, so cannot be counted out. The Monkeys have played just two games against Tier One opposition in the CW. Is their record a bit misleading?

This is my most-anticipated series of the weekend. If the T-irds are swept, they will have a tough time getting back into the pennant race. The Bluegars are currently 5 points ahead of the T-irds, with two games in hand. The last time they played, the Bluegars scored three times in the last minute to steal a 4-3 win.

November 8, 2024: A BISON-FREE FRIDAY

With the Bisons on a bye week, it was a bit of a disappointing evening. There was just one good game, and that was one which surprised me.

OUT-OF-TOWN SCOREBOARD

CALGARY DINOSAURS 3

➤ UofC: Late heroics send Dinos to third straight win (with boxscore)

Quick Summary
Calg: J. Joseph (08:39 3rd) , D. Melin (19:00 3rd) , M. Patterson (19:21 3rd)
Reg: C. Whyte (04:31 3rd)
Goal: Calg: Tetachuk (22 shots, 21 saves), Reg: Evanoff (31 shots, 29 saves)

The Banjo-Cats rebounded from last week’s disastrous road-trip with a solid effort against Bedrock U. After two periods it was a 0-0 game, with shots even at 14-14. Regina scored early in the 3rd, then had a powerplay where they could have taken charge. However, Bedrock U’s Jadon Joseph stepped out of the box and scored on the ensuing breakaway. The Dinos got a bit of luck, after sustained pressure, and scored with a minute left, followed shortly by an empty-netter. Tough luck, Kittens. Final note: The Bedrock roster was two men short.

Goal: TWU: Sommer (46 shots, 40 saves), Sask: Kooy (21 shots, 20 saves)

Well, it looks like last week may have been the apex of Holy Trinity’s season. They had to play one man down in this one, and the Banjo-Mutts disposed of them rather handily. Each side had two roughing calls, and Spartan Matteo Lamoureux had a 5-&-a-game in the mid-2nd period.

Goal: MacU: Ironside (L) (10 shots, 6 saves) Ward (25 shots, 23 saves), Alta: Kruger (23 shots, 20 saves)

My focus on the Regina-Calgary game caused me to overlook this encounter. The Evil Monkeys scored four goals in less than 13 minutes, chasing starting goaltender Carson Ironside from The Family Guys’ goal. The game was basically over at that time.

Goal: UBC: Schwebius (20 shots, 18 saves), MRU: Farkas (L) (26 shots, 22 saves) Sims (8 shots, 7 saves)

I was looking forward to this as the feature match-up of the weekend. But Friday night was a dud. The T-irds owe the Bluegars revenge after that miracle come-back earlier in the season. In this one, the T-irds dominated the 1st period, outshooting the Bluegars 13-2. However, it was just 1-0. In the 2nd period, UBC made it 4-0 and were cruising. In a season of injuries across the CW, MRU played one man short.

November 9, 2024: NOTHING BUT SWEEPS

Amongst the Friday night winners, only the Evil Monkeys got a scare on Saturday.

Goal: TWU: Audet (49 shots, 42 saves), Sask: Chadwick (22 shots, 21 saves)

The headline on the Sask story references that their 3rd string goaltender, Ethan Chadwick, started for the first time. He often dresses as the backup whilst Kooy and Ross alternate starts. In any event, Holy Trinity was ripped from start to finish. Combined with the Regina-Calgary series, last week’s Spartan sweep of the Banjo-Cats is hard to figure.

The Family Guys were up 2-0 with just over three minutes left in the game. Then, POOF! The game is tied and headed to 8 seconds of overtime. Sean Tschigerl’s OT winner was his 8th goal of the season.

Two disappointing high-profile games in two nights! For the second night in a row, we had a 5-2 game and one where the Bluegars started Shane Farkas in goal and pulled him. The T-irds had slumped below .500 coming into this weekend and really needed to prove themselves. It looks like this is shaping up as another season where the five “Tier 1” teams are basically interchangeable.
