➤ UofA (Friday late): Huskies best Bears 5-0 in playoff opener (with boxscore)

➤ Huskie Fan: Keaton Sorenson scores overtime winner (with live audio link)
Quick Summary
Alta: A. Yakimchuk (19:47 2nd) , J. Hall (19:08 3rd)
Sask: C. Roulette (01:17 1st) , J. Pillar (15:25 2nd) , K. Sorensen (10:15 1st OT)
Goal: Sim (26 shots, 23 saves), Maier (30 shots, 28 saves)
The Banjo-Mutts gained a measure of revenge over their perennial nemesis from next door with an entertaining overtime win. The Evil Monkeys deserve credit for not going down without a fight. Sask built a 2-0 lead and held the majority of the play. However, the Monkeys scored in the last minute of the 2nd period to give them some hope.
The 3rd period marked a turn-around. The Monkeys controlled most of the play, outshooting the Mutts 8-4. However, they never scored until they pulled the goaltender in the final minute of play.
However, the Mutts regained control in the overtime. They had a goal called back because the net was knocked off. There was a pile of players, looking like a football line of scrimmage play, or a rugby ruck. This just delayed the inevitable, I suppose. Keaton Sorenson netted the winner after a big scramble around the Monkey net.
In a line-up note, the Monkeys started Drew Sim in goal, and Ethan Kruger did not dress. Their backup was 2nd year Ethan Lawczynski, who has never seen action in a CW regular season game.

➤ MacU: Team Website
Quick Summary
Calg: P. Bocharov (03:16 3rd) , A. Kydd (05:41 3rd) , J. Poole (17:51 3rd) , L. Hauer (19:27 3rd)
MacU: C. Cabana (13:24 2nd)
Goal: Calg: Tetachuk (25 shots, 24 saves), MacU: Ironside (24 shots, 22 saves)
The Family Guys led 1-0 going into the 3rd period, and a pair of empty-netters embellished the Dinos' scoreline. This was my back-up viewing for most of the night, but it was a typcially defensive playoff game.
Bedrock U now returns to Calgary where they will face MRU next weekend in the semi-finals. MRU's home rink is the Flames Community Arenas, which is a very low-capacity facility. I wonder if they will be able to line up one of Calgary's arena options, such as the Winsport Arena often used for curling events. It seats about 3,000.

Last post by dd - February 21, 2026, 10:54:16 PMKi dunno, he's an undersized DB who Ottawa chose not to re sign, Ottawa!!!, that should tell you something. He played there 3 years and I don't remember him at all. I certainly hope he's not in our starting lineup, and if so, we re in trouble.

Last post by dd - February 21, 2026, 10:46:55 PMFor sure CC should have stepped in but they didn't, could MOS have challenged that a tandem buck block occurred and wasn't called and CC could have overturned everyone turning a blind eye to the obvious?!? To me this is no different than an O lineman blatantly holding a defensive player trying to make a tackle on a play that goes for a TD. That would have been called, or at the very least challenges, why was this play not challenged??

Thanks to those that provided more info on Lamont, slowly coming back to me who he is, memory is good just need to be accessed slow and deep kinda like a C64 limited memory but deadly for it's day LOL

Last post by Pigskin - February 21, 2026, 08:17:47 PMCoverage breakdowns and missed tackles is what stood out for me. Coverage in general wasn't that bad considering QBs had all day to throw. We also had a number of injuries in our secondary which meant a lot of moving parts. This signing probably means we are done with Bonds.

He already runs for his life...he does enough running. An Oline is what is needed. Kyle seems to be working on that. Thank god. He's taken enough hits.
