Hello reader of therobbhunter.com
This is the "Yappy" radio announcer of Rock 104 in Olds, home of the Grizzly's. Robb and I made a bet about the outcome of the Grizzly's and Pontiacs first game of the year, and I thought that if the Pontiacs played anything like Robb did against me in college, then I wouldn't have to do this... I will be the first to admit, I was wrong. the bet said that if the Grizz lost (Which they did) I would have to get a player to write a game preview for tonight...
I tried my best to live up to my end of the bet, but you have no idea how hard it is to get hockey players to take time out of their schedules, just before playoffs never the less, to write. but I think I can do a pretty good job myself.
I am the Grizzly's arena announcer so I basically sit up in my booth and watch the game...and it was a horrible first period, too many defencesive breakdowns, and odd man rushes led to an early 3-0 lead. but after the Grizz found their groove, they outplayed the Pontiacs for the rest of the game...the shot count will verify that...big time.
So heading in to tonight, I have been talking to a lot of the players about this Lakeland road swing they have to finish the regular season, and let me tell you, they want this one tonight really, REALLY bad.
They thought they deserved to win the first one, so look for them to come out flying at the RJ Lalonde. The overall standings are nearly identical between these 2 teams, so it should be an incredible game.
A player to watch out for is Brance Orban. Orban was the league leading goal scorer just under a month ago, although he is still just a few goals behind, and with only 3 games left, talking to him yesterday, he can't wait to hit the ice and head into the playoffs on a hot streak.
Should be a good one tonight...it's just too bad Robb won't be wearing gold and black...
Hope to see ya in the Playoffs.
Cheers
Falko

I think that because Falko didn't hold up on his end of the bargain that he should wear the Pontiac jersey tonight at the game.
I just wish Falko had given us an update on the time because my watch has been stuck on 5 to 3 ever since Feb 6th.
I find it funny he is using the shot clock in Olds as a measurement of how one-sided the game was. Olds perhaps pads shots more than any building I have been in this season.
Spigs.
