4/10 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The North American Hockey League Division Finals are all set as the South Division Championship series was all set as the Roadrunners ended the Jr. Blues season, while the Bandits had to do it the hard-way as the team was 12 seconds away from being eliminated when the team tied it at 2-2 with the extra man.

Then won the game midway through the 1st OT. In the Central Division, the Alexandira Blizzard knocked out the Owatonna Express as they will get the Division Top Seed Bismarck Bobcats for the Central Division Championship and a Robertson Cup Spot.

The QMJHL Has the Semifinals all set as the Central & Atlantic Divisions are the only ones left standing as the St. John Seadogs will take on the Victoriaville Tigers while the defending champion Drummondville Voltigeurs gets the Moncton Wildcats for a chance to play for the QMJHL Championship. The Semifinals should get underway in the mid-week.

The Jackalopes were able to tie the series at 1-1 while Bossier-Shreveport and Rapid City got the Northern Conference Final up and going last night. With both teams pretty fresh after winning the Conference Semifinals in short order, expect to see a long series as we have a first timer in Rapid City and a Bossier-Shreveport who's making up for lost time in this year's playoffs with a Presidents Cup Championship Spot on the line.

Also, is this the end of an era in Dallas as Mike Modano played the team's final game of the regular season as he ended the way it begun with him wearing a North Stars Jersey after last night's game against Minnesota as he was named the games #1 Star.
