Just a bunch of crap (both good and bad) in no particular order... not unlike most of these posts but at least I'm announcing it beforehand for a change.
- Congrats to Zack Cahill on second star honors in the MHL this week. It's not often a star selection is warranted based on a single game... but it's also not very often a player at this level puts up a six point night. That's exactly what the Commandos right winger did in Bridgewater on Friday. That makes it three straight weeks in the three star selections for the Commandos, with three different players turning the trick (Robbie Graham last week, Alex Murray the week before that).
- Also of note, Kyle Morrison was named first star for the third straight week. The Bearcats forward has been simply dominant since the beginning of the month, accumulating 23 points in 7 games dating back to February 2nd. This scoring spree has brought him from as far as 10 points back in the scoring race to a comfortable lead atop the board, six points ahead of the Caps Danny Chiasson.
- You want the definition of "insult to injury"? After losing in double OT in Wolfville last night to end their season, the U de M Aigles Bleus took a grueling four and a half hours to get back to campus... then had to dig their way out of the JLL parking lot. How can you not feel for a bunch of guys after something like that?

- The decision on Ross Johnston's stick swinging incident in Halifax Saturday night should be rendered tomorrow at some point. No matter what happens, one team is probably not going to be happy. The Moose most likely feel it was a deliberate action, as does much of the Halifax media and any number of fans, who have been dissecting the video like the Zapruder film. The Cats will undoubtedly view it as accidental and with any luck get Johnston back in the lineup after what will undoubtedly be a multi-game suspension no matter what happens. What makes this a tricky situation is that it seems as if it will be hard to definitively prove malicious intent. Either way, the odds of seeing the big Wildcat winger in the lineup this weekend at the very least will be extremely low. You can argue intent all day long, but recklessness is a no-brainer in this instance.
- Finally, this popped up on my twitter feed this evening, courtesy of Sheldon Keefe. His Sault Greyhounds won 10-7 over Kingston on Saturday. It made me chuckle... and will probably make alot of coaches do the same (and/or nod in agreement).
I’ll pass.“@ohlhoundpower: Start your week off by watching all 17 goals from Saturday’s win over Kingston - soogreyhounds.com/video/index”I never really had Keefe pegged as a "dry humor" sort of guy, but there ya have it.
