Bismarck, ND. For those of us who have Robertson Cup rings, hope springs eternal that we will get a second Bobcats ring. But you have to take one round at a time. The Bismarck Bobcats locked up second place when they had a 1-0 shootout loss to the Wilderness on Saturday. If the Bobcats can get some of their players back healthy, this is my favorite time of the year. Your Bismarck Bobcats have been working with the team director of fitness Mike Salwei and are on a strict diet. It all comes down to what the players do on the ice, and if they can reach the pinnacle of Junior Hockey. You have four rounds that you have to go through to get to where you can raise the trophy over your head. Right now, a pain in the neck of a hockey team has the trophy that I want. Their names are Mr. Son of a Gun Langer and a city named Aberdeen. It looks like the trophy is not going to be easy to get, because Son of a Gun Langer refuses to give it up. But the Bobcats can go growly growly under the 11 year leadership of my favorite coach, and one of the best coaches of all time in my opinion, Layne Sedevie. He was an assistant under Byron “swimming” Pool when Bismarck laid claim to the Robbie in 2010. Those were the days when we had Jason Fabian and Ryan Farragher. In fact, Farragher put a muzzle on the Icedogs and then the Bobcats brought home a big surprise for one of their biggest fans to admire. That would be the Bobcats Staff Writer, me! I would like the players who I know to give Layne a present, but something tells me that everything has to go through a city that I have disdain for. At Thanksgiving, the players had to watch a bird being consumed by their fearless leader Layne Sedevie. How come Layne eats turkey and his men don’t even get a sniff of turkey? Maybe that’s another question for their fearless leader the next time I talk to him. I don’t think that is very fair.
