Bismarck, North Dakota. If you are the Bobcats, you obviously haven’t been paying attention during weekly opportunities to get prepared for the Aberdeen Wings. On Wednesday night, the Bobcats were burned twice by Steven Oberzanek. Had someone told the Aberdeen Wings that you have to play 60 minutes against the Bobcats, it could have been loss number 5 on the season. But Layne Sedevie pulled a magic trick on the Wings. Enter in Bryce Schmitt, who gave the Bobcats’ power play a jolt when the Minot native took the puck and knew what to do with it, burying it past Aberdeen’s Frederick Leisner, sending the VFW Sports Center into pandemonium for the 18th time this year. Olivieri was Olivieri when he clearly instigated a fight that earned him a game ejection, which he deserved. I don’t know when the Bobcats’ bench is going to learn that you have to play the game on the ice and shut your mouth. For what seems like a reoccurring story, Sedevie and his players didn’t learn their lesson. As far as players who instigate melees on the ice, I feel like the NAHL should give them a three game suspension, and coaches should learn before they even take the job as head coach, do not argue with the fellas in the zebra stripes.
