The Bobcats dominated the Thunder sweeping them in three games. Meanwhile the suprise of the first round of the central division playoffs was last years runner up Owatonna Express. Being derailed by Alexandria three games to one setting up a second round match up that could be a percfect storm if the Bobcats are not ready to play, Just like in the first round it will come down to goal tending and who stay out of the box and who can excute on the power play. The other intersting thing about the Bobcats and Alexandria match up is that the Blizzard has a former Bobcat player on their coaching staff. We will make an effort to get a interview with former Bobcat Jeff Crouse.
