Mils (17-3-2) @ Red Wings (17-9-0)

First of all, check out the Mils 100 Years of Memories link. Talked to Don Chesney today and I'm going to air him tonight. If you absolutely can't tune in you can listen to it in its entirety over there. It's never dull with Chez.

- The Millionaires have beat the Weyburn Red Wings in both head to head matchups, once at home, once on the road (a week ago), and both by 4-1 scores. Tyler Murray leads the team with 4 points (all assists) against the Wings this season. Murray's also got a nice 5-game point streak on the go (1-7-8). Goaltender Travis Bosch has a 1.00 GAA and a .966% against Weyburn.

- Not sure if he's playing tonight, I'll find that out at the rink, but the Red Wings are happy to welcome back F Luke Johnson. The 20 year old was pursuing a career of the ice but has had a change of heart. Johnson played 54 games last season, scoring 16-goals, 18-assists, for 34 points.

- The Mils are switching up the lines a little tonight.

Old lines:

Herauf-Lind-Hope
Dolinski-Murray-Kinnunen
Stanicky-Melnychuk-Jordan
Rogoschewsky-Moore-Peel
(Decorby was injured)

Tonight's lines:

Herauf-Lind-Decorby
Dolinski-Kinnunen-Hope
Stanicky-Murray-Peel
Rogoschewsky-Melnychuk-Jordan

Coach Fiesel thinks that makes them a deeper hockey team, and I think he's right. He talks about the new combos on tonight's Pre Game Show.

- We should sound better tonight! With STILL no phone lines in Weyburn, the game itself will still be cell phone quality... but our interviews will be studio quality today. We thought we had it all figured out last week that I could record interviews at the rink, and while it sounded perfect through my headset, for whatever reason they were barely audible over the air. So, I taped Feez's Pre Game Show this morning, and we'll just play it from the station... same with Daniel Hope's Player Profile that we tried to play last week but sounded bad... that'll run again today, from the station. And of course Don Chesney in the second INT... will run from the radio station.

- I'm excited for this one! Another first place showdown with the Mils 2 pts ahead of the Red Wings (Mils also have 4 games in hand). 7:20 Pre Game Show, 7:30 Play by Play on GX94. Gotta run, bus leaves at 3:00.
