MONDAY -- Family Day

Happy Family Day everyone.

An old foe comes to town this afternoon after a weekend of doing the Pontiacs a huge favour. The Lloydminster Bobcats enter the RJ Lalonde with a 3 game winning streak and a winning record against Bonnyville so far this year.

The 7th place Bobcats have only lost one game so far in February and with nothing to play for in the standings Lloyd is playing well pressure free while preparing for the playoffs.

The Pontiacs have had a tough time this year coming out strong after a big emotional win like the one Saturday night in Spruce Grove.

After snapping a 5 game losing streak with a 5-3 win over Olds on Feb 6th the Pontiacs came out flat in a 4-1 loss to the Canucks the next night.

After a Jan 16th 2-1 victory over Grande Prairie the Pontiacs don't play well the next night dropping a 4-2 decison to the Storm.

After a pair of huge wins against Sherwood Park at the start of December the team heads South, gets delayed by a day in Brooks because of weather and then gives up the first two goals in a bad first period against Okotoks on December 13th.

Going into Fort McMurray at the end of November Tyler Henry scores a double overtime winner the first night but the Pontiacs can't capitalize on their chance to sweep the MOB by dropping the next game 3-2.

Hopefully the boys can come out strong this afternoon and get themselves on a roll heading into the playoffs. Another flat first period will be disappointing.

Speaking of Tyler Henry, the youngster hasn't scored in 15 games dating back to Janurary 2nd but the game he played Saturday was one of his best as of late and it looks like he might be showing signs of busting out of his slump. Henry does have 10 assists in that time.

-----

In 4 games against the Bonnyville Pontiacs this year Bobcats forward Jared Jagow has 10 points.

Actually he has 10 points in three games. He didn't get a point in his first game against Bonnyville back on October 22nd.
