No wifi on the bus and a late return home coupled with a Storm game this afternoon leads to a late post on the blog today.
It was a tough first period for both teams last night, a broken play led to a Kurt Johnas breakaway and he scored a beautiful goal short side on Alex Henry. Johnas is going to be a pretty special player in this league once he fills out.
Shots were 6-6 after the first 20 minutes. The first period saw numerous icings, broken plays and just sloppy hockey in general, it was a slow game with the middle bottled up.
In the second Ty Edmonds stood on his head.
That is until Tyler Grove scored on the Power play with five minutes left in the period (goal was given to Petrino but he never touched the puck).
With three minutes left in the second frame Baptiste would knock in a Kirk Chief rebound putting the Blizzard up 2-1.
The second period was controlled by the Blizzard leading on the shot clock 11-7. The Oil Capitals didn't get many quality opportunities. Most of their shots were long drives from the wing.
The third was once again the Blizzard controlling the tempo but Virden did tie things up 2-2 just 25 seconds into the third frame as Elmes was stepping out of the box.
Four minutes into the third Tim Kavanaugh lets a wrister fly from the point that hit a Virden defender and found its way past Ty Edmonds for his first real goal of the season. Kavanaugh got credit for a Valiquette goal in the showcase.
The Blizzard powerplay went 2 for 3, they're finally working things from the point with traffic and getting tip ins or rebound opportunities. They scored four powerplay goals this weekend, improving their percentage to 13.91%.
4 out of 5 points is pretty good considering the Blizzard are out three of their top six forwards and a top four defensemen.
Cochrane will be back for Wednesday as will Dumais.
TJ and Garick are still out for a few weeks.
Road trip picture blog to come.

Stampeders Sanctioned for Playing With 26 Carded Players
The Swan Valley Stampeders have received a "severe sanction" in the words of MJHL Commissioner Kim Davis for what could be called an illegal roster.
The Stampeders played 10 games between the dates of October 25th to November 13th with 26 carded players which by some could be considered a severe roster violation. MJHL teams can only carry 25 carded players at this point of the season.
The Stampeders went 6-4 during that span beating the OCN Blizzard twice along with the Virden Oil Capitals, Winkler Flyers, Portage Terriers, and the Neepawa Natives.
In some Jr.A leagues that infraction of league rules would result in an automatic loss of points along with possible supplemental sanctions such as a $500 fine.
According to Davis, in the MJHL there is no set punishment for carrying more players than allowed by the league, so in essence the sanction is up to Davis' discretion.
Davis confirmed there would be no loss of points or changes to the standings as a result of the infraction.
Davis said the Stampeders have been sanctioned monetarily along with a sanction affecting their roster abilities for the rest of the season.
An anonymous source says the Stampeders have been fined $1,000 and lost 2 of their 45 player cards for the season (each team can only have 25 players carded at a time until December 1st when the number drops to 23, but can burn through 45 in a season.)
It seems that the Stampeders are lucky they don't play in the "other" leagues that would have taken away points for that infraction as they would move from 30 points on the season to 18.
The OCN Blizzard would have seen their numbers improve to 20-5-1 good for 41 points. The Stamps would then be second last in the Sher-Wood division with a record of 8-14-2 , only four points up on Neepawa who would gain two points.
Other teams that would gain two points are Winkler, Virden and Portage. Putting them at 20, 27, and 23 points on the season respectively.
Davis was willing to answer questions over the phone but did not want to record a statement.
** Note: I did have to readjust some numbers that were typo's. To be clear the Stampeders had 26 carded players, only allowed 25. Clearly this error justifies my crappy radio salary!**

Injury Update
Quick injury update.
Garick Gray required 8 stitches for the cut to his forehead on the hit to the head he received from Virden's Chase Wichellmann on Wednesday. Gray also sustained a concussion and will be out for a number of weeks.
As we all know now head injuries are fairly temperamental so there's no word on when he will be back. Could be a month, could be more, the best thing for Garick to do now is stay home, rest and just wait.
It's a substantial loss to the Blizzard, just as it seemed that they were going to be playing with a full roster shortly.
Garick leads the Blizzard in goals with 15 and was on a real tear of late as he was tied for the league lead in goals when he was knocked out.
As for Thomas Ward-Cardinal he could be back this weekend depending on how things go in practice this week. If not this weekend it will be very, very soon.

Blizzard go 2-1 Down South
2-1 is good, but the Blizzard are still sour after spoiling at the very least a point against Winkler on Saturday.
The Blizzard beat the Selkirk Steelers 3-1 on Friday, followed by a 6-5 loss to Winkler on Saturday which saw Winkler take the lead with just 0:02 left on the clock in the third, the Blizzard beat the Winnipeg Blues 4-3 yesterday.
Thanks to CBC's and OCN's own Tiar Wilson for the photo of OCN Celebrating last night's victory. Stolen from her twitter account @tiarwilsonCBC
The Blizzard now sit at 18-7-1 on the season with 37 points. I had erroneously tweeted after the win last night that the Blizzard had the highest winning percentage in the league... that was true for about a half an hour until Dauphins win was in the books. Instead they are .02% behind Dauphin at 0.712%
Doing that made me go like this...
The Blizzard have a few players who are streaking right now.
Jack Petrino has 3 goals in his last 4 games.
Wilson Dumais has 10 points in his last 7 games.
Tyler Grove has 9 points in his last 4 games.
Here are Head Coach Jim Mollard's thoughts on the weekend.

Blizzard vs Oil Capitals (AGAIN!) Preview
The MJHL schedule maker needs some help in the creativity department. Tonight's matchup is the third of three straight against the Oil Capitals (8-8-5), the two teams also meet the weekend after next on a Brandon area road swing.
The OCN/ Virden game is one of three on tap for tonight in the MJHL as Dauphin is in Swan Valley and the Pistons host the Blues.
The Blizzard (15-6-1) have taken the last two matchups between these two clubs by scores of 6-3 (in Virden) and 4-1 (in OCN).
During the Murray GM Pre-Game show on Friday before OCN's 4-1 win over Virden at home Oil Capitals Head Coach Troy Leslie spoke about that Tuesday's loss to OCN in Virden by a 6-3 score saying "we got caught watching the skill level of these guys in the first period and that got us off our game."
The first period of that game on Friday was much better for the young Oil Capitals team, they skated with the Blizzard and held the play for extended periods of time, but a sloppy second by the Blizzard didn't convert into a lead for the Oil Capitals. Instead Garick Gray tied the game in the dying minutes of the second period and gave the Blizzard all the momentum heading into the third where OCN would take over.
The Blizzard are the better team on paper, but they can't take Virden lightly tonight. Their young lineup adjusted well to the raucous atmosphere on the GLMC on Friday and tonight being a Wednesday night matchup the crowd will be a little thinner.
Taking six of six points against a division rival is massive early on this season and comes with a crucial game tonight.
Neither the Blizzard nor the Oil Capitals have played since Friday.
Alex Henry (4-4) got the start on Friday and played better as the game wore on, he will get his second consecutive start tonight. While Kyler Beckett (4-9) played admirably for the Oil Capitals on Friday.
Young Oil Capitals goaltender Ty Edmonds (4-4) has returned from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia where he competed in the CJHL Top Prospects game for Team West and might make a return between the pipes this evening.
The OCN Blizzard come into tonight's matchup winners of their last three while the Oil Capitals have now lost 4 of their last 5.
Tonight's matchup will feature the leagues top goal scorers as Garick Gray (15 goals) and Richard Olson (14 goals) duke it out again.
The Oil Capitals traditionally boast a very strong powerplay but they've been struggling in their last three games going 0/14. Their powerplay was ranked second in the MJHL before the two teams met for the first time last Wednesday clicking over 25%.
As of today their powerplay has dropped to fifth in the league at 22.68%. OCN's powerplay is dead last in the MJHL at just 11.49%.
Meanwhile OCN and Virden have the two top penalty killing stats in the league. Virden is first at 86.76% while OCN sits at 83.05%.
Tonight should be another exciting one at the GLMC. It also marks the return of Head Coach Jim Mollard behind the OCN bench.
Puck drop is at 7:00PM. Neither tonight's game nor any of this weekend's games on the road will be broadcast, we will be back on the air on Friday November 23rd in Waywayseecappo.
I will try and keep you all updated as much as possible throughout the weekend. I will be in Thompson and will have a chance to catch Saturday's NorMan Northstars game.

OCN 4 - Virden 1
Welcome Back Kolton... or Kotter.
One was a teacher, the other a hockey player. All the same right?
Kolton Baptiste had one heck of a comeback game tonight.
Baptiste intimidated physically and laid the body on from his first shift. He scored in the third period off a turnover just inside the line and got a standing ovation from the GLMC faithful.
Here's an interview with Kolton after tonight's game. The players love having him back, he's a good guy in the room.
The first period was some great hockey, the Oil Capitals came out firing and played the Blizzard very very well. The second period was sloppier and OCN couldn't get their jump going as usual but in the third period Wilson Dumais scored a beauty to put the Blizzard up by 1.
Garick Gray would add an empty netter his 15th of the year and wrestle the league goal scoring title away from Virden's Richard Olson in the dying seconds of the game.
The Blizzard's physical play wore out the Oil Capitals by the third period and their offense came alive thanks to the Gray, Valiquette and Dumais line. Again Dumais had a tremendous game and stayed out of the box for the third game in a row.
The Blizzard move to 15-6-1 on the season and pick up their 31st point of the season. They face Virden again on Wednesday. We won't be broadcasting that game nor any games from the upcoming swing to the Winnipeg area next weekend. We'll be back on the air with the Brandon road trip in 2 weeks!
Here is Derek Fontaine's interview from the first intermission. Again we chat about Baptiste and Chief as well as Tim Perks.
Chief was up in the press box tonight, a big smile on his face, certainly happy to rejoin the club.

Preview: Blizzard vs Oil Capitals
First an injury update.
Tyler Grove returns to the lineup tonight. Thomas Ward-Cardinal is still about a week away, while Taylor Santorelli about 4-6 weeks away.
The Blizzard (14-6-1) host the Oil Capitals (8-7-5) in the second of three straight games against the MJHL's newest club. OCN won the inaugural matchup on Tuesday 6-3. A solid road game.
The Oil Caps are young and got even younger trading away one of their three twenty year olds in Gaudet to Dauphin. They now have only two '92 born players on their roster.
It's a young team that can be intimidated and I'm sure the atmosphere at the GLMC will give the Blizzard an advantage.
HOW THEY MATCH UP:
Goals For:
OCN: 72
VIR: 62
Goals Against:
OCN: 56
VIR: 70
Last 10:
OCN: 6-4
VIR: 3-4-3

VIR: 2-1 SO Win @ Neepawa - Wed Nov 7th 2012
Tomorrow nights game will be broadcast on the radio. 6:45 pre-game, 7:00 puck drop.
But hopefully I can see you at the rink!

OCN 6 - Virden 3
Ray Walker the voice of the Virden Oil Capitals called it a "perfect road game."
The Blizzard started strong, silenced the reported crowd of 1000 people and took the wind out of the sails of the Oil Capitals.
The second period was tough as OCN battled bad bounces and mental errors leading to odd man rushes deep in the defensive zone.
In the third the Blizzard did a good job of controlling play and keeping things tight defensively.
I don't think Garick Gray has scored a pretty goal all year, again tonight popping in a rebound off the side of the goal. But he and the Blizzard will take them how they come.
TJ Constant's penalty shot marker was his 50th in his career as an OCN Blizzard.
Unfortunately due to equipment malfunctions I wasn't able to interview Clay DeBray during the post game.
So here are his thoughts after last night's game.

Lineup vs Virden
A few changes to the Blizzard roster today.
As previously mentioned Chief and Baptiste will return to OCN tomorrow. Also Dusik has been dealt to Dauphin for futures.
Here is tonight's lineup...
Forwards
Dumais / Valiquette / Gray
Cardinal / TJ Constant / Brady Constant
Sharp / Bayer / Petrino
Lathlin / Cameron / Swampy
Defense
Elmes / Fontaine
Bruyere / Cochrane
Kavanaugh / Robak
Goalies
McDonald - Starter
Henry - Backup
I will be chatting with Derek Fontaine during the OCN Shell First intermission. For those who can't listen the interview will be posted here after the game.
Pre-Game at 7:15 - Puck Drop 7:30
Baptiste and Chief to return
The Blizzard have re-acquired the rights to D/F Kolton Baptiste from the Lloydminster Bobcats. Along with Baptiste, Kirk Chief will be making his return to the Blizzard.
Baptiste was traded to Lloydminster on October 16th for Jack Petrino and Parker Sharp.
Baptiste will bring back some depth at forward as will Chief as the Blizzard seem to have their shutdown unit intact once again. Personally I think Parker Sharp would be a good fit there with those two.
Baptiste had been released by Lloydminster about one week ago.
They are expected back in town today or tomorrow and might be available for Friday's game versus Virden.

Few Trades Today in MJHL
A number of trades today in the MJHL with two of them including teams in the Sher-wood division.
Virden Oil Capitals Trade: 19-year old Forward Brendan Persley.
To
Vernon Vipers (BCHL) For: Futures
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trail Smoke Eaters (BCHL) Trade: 18-year old defensemen Matt Alexander.
To
Portage Terriers For: Futures
Portage shores up defensively bringing in a big bodied defender with some experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daupin Kings Trade: 20-year old goaltender Matt Larose.
To
Wellington Dukes (OJHL) For: Futures
Kings move Larose as they go with Archibald and Pominville for now.
Really the only trade that impacts anything for the Blizzard is Persley going to Virden, should make the Oil Capitals tougher to play against due to his size and experience.
