The Bobcats and Blizzard are separated by one measly little point going into tonight’s battle, which almost makes it feel like a playoff battle. Paul Teeple was the Sheriff’s special guest today. We talked about what has to happen for the Bobcats to be successful at home, and on the road. Teeple was nice enough to spend 36 minutes with the Patrol. The Sheriff will be watching some players tonight; Kane Durment, Gavin Mindt, and Mikael Hakkarainen. Another key for the Bobcats is #39 Hunter Shepherd. He has to be on his A game. The Bobcats have to build a lead like when they were on the road at Aberdeen, they have to put the fans on their wallets. When the Bobcats find a way to score three goals or more, they will win. If they have an offensive explosion like they did at Austin, they should be able to sweep the weekend. There should be no reason why the Bismarck Bobcats will not be victorious over the Thanksgiving weekend. When I talked to the Bobcats, I told them that I expect to be writing about a sweep over the break.
