FRIDAY -- Game 1 Round 1

Assistant Coach Ryan Pollock joined us for Behind the Bench this morning.

Co-MVP's??? Sure they both deserve it and are both great players but that seems like a little bit of a cop out. 16 coaches picking and it ended as a 8-8 tie? Can't we go to 4 on 4 overtime or something?

-----

I don't know anyone picking this series to be over before game 5. I'm horrible at sport select so I'm not going to try and pick winners of any of the series but let me say this about the North. I will not be shocked if the higher ranked team wins all three series and I would also not be at all surprised if any of the possible underdogs get an upset.

The best division in junior A hockey across all of Canada and it's too close to call.

-----

I'm told that Edmonton Oilers colour man Bob Stauffer picked the Oil Barrons to win this series. It's strange I never ran into Bob at a game this year. He must be trying to keep a low profile.

-----

I'm on location at the rink from 5:00 until puck drop tonight. The first person with their face painted to find me wins a pair of tickets to the game.

-----

Good luck to the Panthers as they kick off their playoff series with Grande Prairie at 6:00 on the Encana ice surface.

Ya, Stauffer picked em in 4, due to the coaching talent of Gord Thibodouche.

He also though last nights 1-0 loss to the Blue Jackets was going to be a high scoring affair.
