Here's hoping that the Express manage to make it. Would be nice to go to actual playoff games.

Honestly i'm not that much impressed with Marty's Express. For having a year to build that team they are nothing special. Lots of former Jackals. Saw the Express last night. Former Jackals were unoticeable. Johnson got his rump handed to him by a guy who cant fight. One Way Donati looked beyond disinterested. Was cool to see Faubert again but even he wasnt busting it. Could see them missing the playoffs. They didn't impress me last night. The officiating was bogus. I've never seen the refs show favoritism to a Martinson coached team before, infact it was the exact opposite. We were fine when the ref let us play 5 on 5. It sucked to lose THAT game but we were shorthanded and we outplayed them
