Northern Conference Final set

Don't know how I forgot to mention this earlier, but Jeff Bes was back out on the ice for the first time since his injury today to handle his assistant coaching duties.

It was nice to see, though the depressing sight of him standing on the outside looking in was replaced by that of Darryl Smith holding the door open for his teammates as they left the ice.

As you may be able to guess from seeing the way he plays, Smith is going pretty crazy not being able to get out there, and if he can't play tomorrow...well, he'll be one upset guy.

Some happy campers tonight are the Mississippi RiverKings, who clinched a spot in the Northern Conference finals with a 3-1 win over the Oklahoma City Blazers, and the Colorado Eagles, who swept the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs with a 4-3 overtime win to accomplish the same feat.

The Mudbugs can't feel good having had their season end because they blew a 3-goal lead.

But anyway, as mentioned earlier, Smith and Serge Dube are both game-day decisions for tomorrow, and the goalie is also yet to be determined.

I was thinking of going to the morning skate to find out but then realized the injured guys will need to talk to Bobby Moore after the skate to make a decision, so I'll probably just give Coach Ruskowski a call in the early afternoon and report back to you on here.

Hope your baseball team had a better start to the season today (or last night...or tomorrow) than mine did!

NHL Scores: Red Wings 4, Sabres 1; Senators 3, Canadiens 2; Flames 4, Kings 1.
