➤ MacU (Friday late): Strong start nets Griffins a point in OT loss to Manitoba that draws them level with Alberta for second (with boxscore & video)
➤ MacU (Saturday): Bad case of deja vu as Griffins lose a 3-1 lead and fall in OT for a second-straight day to Manitoba (with boxscore & video)
Quick Summary
Man: K. Coyle (08:56 1st) , J. Hooker (18:49 2nd) , L. Brennan (19:44 3rd) , J. Hooker (03:06 1st OT)
MacU: M. Gauld (02:16 1st) , K. Chabot (07:50 1st) , S. Simard (14:06 2nd)
Goal: Man: Plowman (26 shots, 23 saves), MacU: Ward (27 shots, 23 saves)
Second verse, same as the first. As on Friday, the Bisons rallied from down 3-1 to win 4-3 in overtime. This makes it a string of four straight wins, all by scores of 4-3. Has that ever happened before? By any team, in any league?
The Bisons made a couple of usual line-up changes, with Dekay for Boucher up front, and Turner for Willick on the blueline. They also made an unusual change with 3rd string goaltender Cole Plowman making his first start of the regular season. Each of the three goaltenders now has a win on this streak.
The Family Guys started strong, outshooting the Bisons 13-2 in the opening period. However, by the end of the game the shots were 27-26 in favour of the Herd. The Bisons tied the game with just 16 seconds left. Lucas Brennan (team leader in goals with 9) scored from Dawson Pasternak (team leader in assists with 17). Captain Hooker scored twice, including the overtime winner, giving him 8 goals on the season.
The Bisons are now 2-10-2 against their top four opponents (UBC, MRU. Calgary, & Sask) and 8-0-0 against their bottom four opponents (Alberta, MacEwan, Trinity, and Regina). Their only two games of the season against Alberta are next weekend. Although the Bisons could well finish 5th overall, they are now incapable of rising above 4th place in the East Division.

I watched this in between the end of the Bison game and beginning of the Jet game. This one looked like a competitive catfight, with the Bluegars not taking a 2-1 lead until mid-2nd period. Then things went wild. It was 4-1 at intermission, then an incredible 8 goals in the 3rd. The Banjo-Cats had been playing better, but that 3rd period defies description. My back-up viewing was the Alberta-Saskatchewan game so I never saw the 3rd period and was shocked by the score.

The Evil Monkeys are not at all a contender for the first time in my memory following this league. They are a point behind MacEwan in the race for 2nd in the East Division. They are no better than a mid-level team in the CW, and sinking. Although next weekend's series will have no substantive implications for the Bisons, they'd probably like to finish in the CW's top five.

Kramdi at 189 is 31 lbs lighter than Griffin at 220, could use the extra muscle to chop down beefy RB's which also spares Nichols and Holm a lot of wear and tear.

Robustelli doesn't have the skills to be a #1 receiver, but he is a scrappy playmaker who could fit in as a #3 or #4 at the right price.

Sooooooo very tired of seeing Namestnikov dressed. Put him in the stands for a bit and get Nyquist dressed.
Get Barron on a mid 6 line, please

Last post by Jesse - Today at 12:11:41 AMQuote from: markf on January 24, 2026, 04:54:10 PMYou mean they lose interest once their team is out? Could be. But Some of the teams have been out for months
But they, the NFL have record numbers watching the games this season.
I think it's whatever is the most controversial gets the attention.
Like firing Harbaugh.
