The Jackalopes made their position in the Southwest division pretty clear by drubbing the Gorillas 7-1 on kid's day at the Amarillo Civic Center. That makes the Jacks a perfect 4-0 against divisional opponents this season, not to mention that they've outscored their opponents by a combined 26-6 margin in those four games. Maybe Randy Murphy, Tom Coolen and Marco Pietroniro need to do some brainstorming. Or maybe we'll all get to see what the Northeast Division felt like a few years ago
In related news, apparently Derek Dolson opted to return north of the border and pursue other opportunities. With that in mind, Amarillo is reportedly pursuing former all-star and fellow Jacks outcast Mike Goreman, who was waived by Rio Grande Valley today. This comes after the Gorillas waived goaltender Simon Nielsen, who was shelled for 6 goals on 24 shots in his only game of the season, a 6-0 loss to the Scorpions opening weekend. Coach Coolen clearly has no problem keeping that revolving door moving

The game in Amarillo was only 1/2 full but it was intensely loud. Odessa kicked some major monkey butt and totally owned the Gorillas. But just like last year the Gorillas don't know the meaning of quit and played till the last second.
Congrats Jacks on the win it was a fun game to watch.
There was much buzz in the Gorilla barn about Gorman coming to replace Ryan Scott, some say he is in Colorado, some think he is coming to Amarillo I guess we will find out soon enough.
Leaving at 5:00 am to see the game was totally worth it, I am looking forward to making the trip again Thurday to see Cash.....
