WEDNESDAY

Had to double check that it actually is Wednedsay. Kind of lost track of what day it is while on this road trip that seems to never end.

Greg Hennessey is feeling a little better and should be back in the lineup tonight. He's not taking somebody healthy out of the lineup as Jeremy Gerhardt picked up an automatic one game suspension for getting involved in a fight while another one was already taking place last night in Drumheller.

I imagine Henny's minutes will be watched closely as he's probably not 100% with the flu.

The Pontiacs failed to score first again last night but being led by their captain they were able to get back in the game and skate themselves to a 4-1 lead before allowing a late goal as the Dragons made it a little bit closer. Tyler Pugh was great in net one more time making 34 saves and Steven Seigo looked much more comfortable getting a goal and patrolling the blueline.

Ran into former NHLer Gary Unger in the hotel lobby here in Brooks. He's working at the Banff Hockey Academy and had a couple players in town skating with the Bandits.

Asked around and the common answer from the Pontiacs players when I told them Gary Unger was here was "who's Gary Unger". I guess I am getting older.

Thanks to Dru Cotterill for the use of his laptop.

Another thanks to Q13 the radio station here in Brooks for the use of their facilities this morning and to Bruce Barker for paying for lunch. Barks will join our broadcast tonight as colour analyst.
